Potentially plan to not catch anything since some lines will catch with others’. It was a cool experience since you get to see the skyline and a different view of the city of Miami from afar. All in all, it was a great experience catching a porgy (even though it was with the boat deck’s line) and ended up taking all the fish that was caught from others and had it gutted by the boat deck’s people. I took this to a nearby restaurant and had them fry it and it was a great meal. Thanks!

Deck hands work for tips bring cash or have way to tip them venmo apple pay etc was great experience

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hi, Thank you for the kind review. We will review how we mention tipping in our listing. From my perspective, tipping is best received after a customer deems it appropriate. That said, many groups appreciate us mentioning it.

Jaci_C, Feb 2026

It was a fun time for sure. Be prepared with motion sickness patches and sunscreen. We went as a family of 6 and we were required to pay the gratuities before we even left the shore. I wasn't expecting it to be over $50 that he requested, just be aware that will be expected even with the cost of the trip for 6 people.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank for the nice review. I apologize for any inconvenience and misconception regarding the gratuity. This should have been clear to you at time of booking. We hope to see you again!

Best Charter

kendal_g, Jan 2026

We had a great time on there fishing charter! This was my first time ocean fishing and my buddy’s.They price was phenomenal for $85.They were very helpful and made it easy for us to board we came a little past 1:45pm but they waited Kindly till we got there :) They took us deep out we caught a lot of salt water fish. I will charter again with them. I definitely recommend to book a charter with them.

nice fishing day in Miami

RAFAEL_G, Jan 2026

Great and friendly staff, boat needs some upgrade, especially bathroon for females. To many lines on same sid of the boats.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for the honest review. Since we offer our services to all comers, it will crowd the boat at times more then customers would like. Depending on the conditions, many times we anchor to utilize both sides of the boat, other times we hace to drift and fish off one side only.

Skip this and don’t waste your money

Pedro_M, Dec 2025

Not worth the trip as they take you to places that there is barely any fish. Look for paces in Ford Lauderdale or key largo if you want to feel you didn’t get rip off.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

I'm sorry your experience wasn't up to your expectations. Unfortunately, fish don't always cooperate as much as we would like! Our business is to make each trip as good as possible, whether the fish bite or not. If the crew was kind, courteous, and attentive to the passengers while doing their best to catch you fish, they've done their job.

Alicia_A, Dec 2025

It was ok. The hosts were friendly and helpful but a bit disorganized it seemed. We still had fun. My husband caught 2 and I caught one. We did see dolphins as we sailed. That was cool. Overall I feel like it was ok but for the money I would have expected just a little more. Music? Free waters maybe? Idk. Just seemed lacking something for the cost.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for the positive review, which I'll share with the crew. We do normally have music, but of course it wasn't operational when you came out. I'm happy to hear our crew was acceptable. It is challenging at times to make best use of our skills and time trying to catch fish and serve our customers appropriately.

Cancelled last minute for no reasonable

Katie_A, Dec 2025

He canceled the night before saying there weren’t enough reservations, even though our party was 5. Despite the listing not saying anything about being a shared reservation. They told me I had to cancel with viator to reserve a refund. Then sent an email saying he hopes we had fun and to leave a good review. Bad customer service, our 5 fisherman are incredibly disappointed.

Salvador_C, Dec 2025

I should have checked the weather before booking. It was a little rough seas about 5-6 ft but the crew was very professional and very kind. I saw them helping everyone to get ther line in the water. Some people and kids did catch fish. We did not but that's our luck lol. am definitely going back but in clear weather lol. I do recommend them but remember its fishing not catching. Still a great experience

ciji_C, Dec 2025

Great crew! Very knowledgeable as where the fish will be! Fileted and cleaned the fish for us afterwards

Bad weather but still set sail

ChiaKuan_W, Dec 2025

I like all the Miami tours except this one. The day we set sailed had a terrible sea condition but we were informed it should be only 2-3 feet tall waves and still departed. I know canceling a scheduled trip may disappoint many people but would be a better option not to get us such a bad experience. I am not a easily seasick person and never puke before but this time most of the passengers got really sick. Captain changed 4 fishing spots and no one get even a bite. When we found no fish in the 1st spot I was already thinking when can we return. I would strongly suggest for future trips, if the weather doesn't permit, just switch to a inshore fishing. So that people can still got some catch in a much safer place.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

The biggest disappointment we deal with is how many fish we catch. Unfortunately, we cannot make them bite if they are not hungry, but only move to a different area, as you say the captain did 4 times. Yes, at times people get seasick, even in moderate seas, it's all about their personal tolerance to the motion. We absolutely cancel our trips with small craft warnings, even though we aren't considered a small craft, but do so with the customer's comfort in mind. Thank you for the honest review, I hope I satisfied your concerns

Staff was very friendly...

Neal_M, Nov 2025

Staff was very friendly and helpful with baiting our hooks and untangling the lines. There is a restaurant at the pier that will cook the fish for you.

A good day of fishing

This charter is terrific! I’m an experienced fisherman, and it’s hard to impress me. The crew was wonderful and the fishing was a-plenty. We caught tons of large tuna and snapper. A definite must do!

Highly recommend

Mandi_C, Aug 2025

The Captain was awesome. On our way "out to sea" he shared information about the Port of Miami and the area we traveled through. He talked about the kinds of fish we may catch. It was a great time. The mate, Ruby, was great. Both were very friendly and knew what they were doing. It was really a great time.

Bad Experience

Alysa_V, Jul 2025

Terrible experience. Listing says the boat is 22ft long but they have 30 people fishing off the same side of the boat. Our experience consisted of lack of space on the side of the boat and constant tangled lines. Would not recommend to anyone, definitely not worth the money. We weren’t guaranteed to catch anything but that wasn’t the issue at all. This is clearly a money scheme to get as many people to buy tickets as possible to be on an overly crowded boat for 4 hours.

Good experience didn’t catch anything

Chris_U, Jun 2025

Experience was fun as a whole. We didn’t catch any fish but that’s not the guides fault. Had to pay $20 extra for live bait with no notice. Some of the ppl helping us fish aren’t too friendly.

The company called and...

RONNIEA_K, Jun 2025

The company called and canceled one hour prior. Despite the fact that they got paid for a late cancellation, they still will not take us out.

Fishing not Catching

Richard_B, May 2025

Was not a very good experience. For starters I know it’s called fishing and not catching but you would think they would be equipped with some type of sonar fish finder to help out the anglers. I did notice the only people to catch anything brought their own personal poles. I’m not sure if they brought their own bait also. But if you’re going solely for fishing I would advise going with a more experienced crew. The staff was nice and somewhat accommodating. I say accommodating because quite a few people were sea sick which has nothing to do with their company in general. But they were attentive to those in need. The somewhat part is because they charge for live bait and a patron who actually purchased the live bait unfortunately got sea sick. And there was no good will on their part to offer the guy a refund for the bait seeing he didn’t use any. But still asked for a tip towards the end of the trip for the crew members. Nice crew and a good boat ride on a fairly maintained aged boat. But I paid for deep sea fishing with what I thought to be experienced fishermen. That was not the case in my experience. Gave it three stars to be fair but they deserve lower.

Most down to earth Captain and crew ever. Awesome group to fish with.

Kenny_R, May 2025

Fishing was good but conversation was better! I will definitely go back to them when we are in Miami again.

Disappointing. The guides...

Jacque_M, Apr 2025

Disappointing. The guides were more interested in their own fishing than helping the guests. Worst charter we have been on. No fish caught. Tangled lines. Too many guests on the boat foe personalized service. We will book a smaller charter next time feom a different company.
