What to Expect on the Water
You'll meet Captain Anthony at the dock bright and early, and within minutes you're cruising through the inlet aboard a spotless Contender built specifically for offshore fishing. No diesel fumes, no cramped quarters – just a clean, well-organized fishing machine that gets you to the action in about 20 minutes. The boat handles up to 6 anglers comfortably, making it perfect for families, buddy trips, or corporate outings. All your gear, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses are included, so you literally just show up ready to fish. The crew handles all the rigging, bait prep, and fish handling – your job is to hang on and fight whatever decides to eat your bait. With South Florida's year-round fishing season and consistently active offshore waters, you've got excellent odds of hooking up on multiple species during your short window on the water.
Trolling Tactics & Live Bait
Captain Anthony runs a serious operation, often pulling 7 lines at once while trolling the productive waters off Fort Lauderdale. The crew switches between different techniques depending on what's biting – you might start with high-speed trolling for wahoo and kingfish, then transition to kite fishing with live baits when the sailfish are up and active. The boat carries an array of lures, from ballyhoo rigs to specialty tuna spreads, plus a selection of live baits that really make the difference when targeting trophy fish. Don't skip the live bait upgrade – multiple customers specifically mention that their best catches came on live offerings. The crew knows how to read the water, watch for bird activity, and position the boat for maximum success. When you hook up, they're right there coaching you through the fight and making sure you land your fish safely.
Customer Stories
"I booked the 3-hour sport fishing trip with start time of 7 AM for my brother and two young nephews who were visiting me from Seattle. The day started out stormy and we weren't sure if our trip would go forward. The weather cleared about half an hour later and we set out around 7:30 AM. We are novices and were hoping for food fish like snapper, tuna, or maybe even a mahi mahi. Any catch would have delighted us. What we got instead was a total surprise, an 80-inch sailfish!!! My brother and I took turns reeling in the fish and were completely exhausted afterwards. We felt seasick but held up. It was totally worth it and we had a lot of fun. It later sank in that what we caught was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also caught a bonito and barracuda. Captain Anthony was very knowledgeable, fun and pleasant to be with. It only took us 20 minutes to get to our fishing area and all of our catches took place within the first hour. I will definitely book with Captain Anthony again in the future." - Bryce
"10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a private charter, captain anthony is a great guy who knows his stuff. My wife and I went on the 3 hour morning charter and showed up a couple minutes early and he was there with the boat in the water waiting for us. We went out and the first thing he said was the morning fishing won't be too great because of the full moon yet he still put us on a couple fish. He then took us to a ship wreck and hooked us on a "grandpa barracuda". With our time coming to end, captain Anthony told us that we would troll on the way in and got my wife and I on a double header of wahoo! After that we got some pictures at the dock and he gave us great recommendations of where to go for getting the fish mounted and which restaurants near by could cook our fresh catch." - John
"Austin and I are more than pleased with this trip. Captain Tony greeted us right away and made us feel like friends from the very beginning. He was the perfect combination of laid back and very cautious of our surroundings and safety. We found so many things in common on the boat and had some pretty fun conversations. Great laughs and he answered every question we had. He has tons of fun facts to share and funny comments to make to make you feel more at ease. We caught our first fish within a half hour of being out there and didn't stop. He let us basically request what size fish we were looking to catch. We started out catching a couple tuna and then caught some awesome king fish. Austin was then ready for the "big" one. Captain Tony knew exactly what to do and where to go and Austin caught one of his dream fish! A 46 inch barracuda! So amazing." - Erica
Species You'll Want to Hook
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of South Florida offshore fishing, and Fort Lauderdale sits right in the heart of some of the best sailfish waters on the East Coast. These spectacular billfish typically run 6-8 feet long and put on an aerial show that'll have you shaking with adrenaline. Peak sailfish season runs from December through April, but you can hook up year-round in these waters. When a sail hits your bait, get ready for multiple jumps, blistering runs, and a fight that'll test every muscle in your body. Many anglers consider landing a sailfish a bucket-list achievement, and the photos you'll get with that massive dorsal fin spread make for
