Fourhour lobster and spearfishing charter near living barrier reefBeginnerfriendly with inwater guides and all gear providedSmall group experience targeting reef species in clear waters
Miami's reef fishing takes on a whole new dimension when you grab a spear gun and dive right into the action. This 4-hour lobster and spearfishing adventure puts you face-to-face with Florida's legendary reef system, where the Gulf Stream delivers crystal-clear water and steady currents that keep the marine life active year-round. You'll be hunting in North America's only living barrier reef system, just minutes from Miami's coastline, targeting spiny lobsters and whatever reef fish decide to show up. Whether you're brand new to spearfishing or looking to sharpen your skills, this trip delivers hands-on learning with guides who know exactly where the good spots are hiding.
Your captain and crew run a tight ship focused on safety and teaching proper technique from the moment you step aboard. The boat heads out to prime reef locations where visibility regularly hits 60-80 feet, giving you clear shots at your targets. An in-water guide stays with beginners and families, showing you how to approach lobsters without spooking them and helping you identify the best fish to target. The whole setup is designed for active participation - you're not just watching from the surface, you're getting down there and learning to read the reef like a local. With only 6 guests max, everyone gets plenty of individual attention and multiple opportunities to practice their technique. The crew keeps things organized and efficient, rotating dive spots based on conditions and what's showing up that day.
All spearfishing equipment comes included - pole spears, Hawaiian slings, and proper spearguns depending on your experience level. You'll need to bring your own mask and fins since fit is everything when you're making precise shots underwater. The guides start with basic safety protocols and hand signals, then move into target identification and approach techniques. Lobster hunting requires patience and steady hands - they hide in crevices and under ledges, so you'll learn to spot their antennae and plan your approach carefully. For reef fish, timing and accuracy matter most. Snappers, groupers, and other species have different behavior patterns, and the guides teach you to read their body language before taking your shot. The shallow reef structure makes this perfect water for learning - depths typically range from 15-35 feet, giving you plenty of bottom time to practice.
Spiny lobsters are the main attraction, especially during lobster season from August through March when they're most active and legal to harvest. These crustaceans can reach impressive sizes in Miami's reefs, with keepers running 3-5 pounds on average. They're most active during early morning and late afternoon hours, making them perfect targets for this charter timing. Lobsters move between different coral heads and rocky outcroppings, following food sources and seeking shelter. What makes them exciting to hunt is their quick reflexes - you need to be decisive and accurate, or they'll disappear into a crack faster than you can blink.
Yellow snapper show up consistently around the reef structures, typically running 1-3 pounds with occasional larger fish mixed in. They school up near coral formations and respond well to patient approach techniques. These fish are naturally curious but spook easily with sudden movements, making them perfect for practicing stealth and shot placement. Peak activity happens during the warmer months when they're feeding more aggressively, though you'll find them year-round in Miami waters.
Hogfish cruise the sandy areas between reef patches, using their elongated snouts to root around for crabs and small fish. They're prized for their excellent table fare and distinctive appearance, with males showing brilliant colors during breeding season. These fish require different hunting techniques since they move constantly and rarely hold still for long. Successful hogfish hunting teaches you to lead moving targets and make quick decisions underwater.
Grouper of various species hold tight to structure, making them challenging but rewarding targets for spearfishers. Black grouper, red grouper, and gag grouper all frequent Miami's reefs, with fish ranging from keeper-sized up to genuine trophy specimens. They're ambush predators that rely on camouflage, often sitting motionless until they think they're perfectly hidden. Finding and successfully taking a grouper requires sharp eyes and confidence in your shooting ability, since they'll bolt for deep holes if they sense any threat.
