The moment you step aboard this 60-foot Bertram, you'll understand why it's considered one of the most sought-after charter boats in Pompano Beach. This beauty was built for performance and designed for comfort, giving you the perfect platform for whatever kind of day you have in mind. The expansive deck gives everyone plenty of space to move around, whether you're working a fishing rod or just enjoying the ride. Below deck, you'll find a climate-controlled salon that's perfect for escaping the midday sun or enjoying some downtime between fishing spots. The boat's twin engines deliver smooth, powerful performance that cuts through the chop like butter, getting you to the best fishing grounds or scenic spots quickly and comfortably. Your captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll work with you to customize the day exactly how you want it – maybe start with some coastal cruising, hit a few fishing spots, then anchor up at a beautiful sandbar for swimming and relaxation.
This Bertram comes equipped with everything you need for a successful day of fishing, should you choose to wet some lines. We're talking about top-shelf tackle, outriggers for serious trolling action, and a fighting chair that'll give you the leverage you need when you hook into something big. The boat's layout is perfect for multiple fishing techniques – troll the blue water for pelagics like mahi and sailfish, or anchor up on structure for amberjack and other bottom dwellers. All rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with live bait when it's available. The crew handles all the technical stuff – rigging baits, setting lines, and coaching you through the fight when you hook up. If fishing isn't your main focus, no problem at all. The boat transforms easily into a cruising platform where you can explore the beautiful waters from Hillsboro Inlet down to Fort Lauderdale, with plenty of opportunities to anchor up and enjoy the crystal-clear water for swimming or just soaking up the Florida sunshine.

Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of South Florida fishing, and Pompano Beach offers some of the best sailfish action on the entire East Coast. These magnificent billfish typically range from 30 to 60 pounds and are famous for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Peak season runs from December through April, when cooler water temperatures bring them close to shore. What makes sailfish so special isn't just their acrobatic fighting ability – it's the sheer beauty of seeing that sail fully extended as they dance across the surface. Most of our sailfish are caught trolling in 80 to 200 feet of water, and we practice catch and release to keep this fishery healthy for future generations.
Mahi Mahi, also known as Common Dolphinfish, are every angler's favorite target fish, and for good reason. These colorful fighters typically weigh between 10 and 30 pounds in our waters, though we see plenty of bigger bulls pushing 40 pounds or more. Mahi are year-round residents here, but spring and summer offer the most consistent action. They're incredibly aggressive feeders that will attack everything from ballyhoo to small lures, and their brilliant gold and green colors make them absolutely stunning when they come boat-side. Plus, mahi are fantastic table fare, making them a customer favorite for guests who want to take home a cooler full of fillets.
Greater Amberjack are the bulldogs of the reef, and catching one is like being in a tug-of-war with a Mack truck. These powerhouse fish commonly reach 30 to 60 pounds in our area, with monsters over 80 pounds always a possibility. They hang around wrecks and reefs in 60 to 120 feet of water, and they'll test both your tackle and your endurance. The best amberjack fishing happens from fall through early spring when they're most active. What makes amberjack so exciting is their initial run – they'll head straight for the bottom with enough power to smoke your reel if you're not ready for them.
Lesser Amberjack might be smaller than their greater cousins, but they pack plenty of punch for their size. Typically ranging from 5 to 15 pounds, these scrappy fighters are found in similar habitat but often in slightly shallower water. They're excellent eating and provide non-stop action when you find a school. Lesser amberjack are particularly fun on lighter tackle, and they're a great species for getting kids or novice anglers into the action without overwhelming them.

Perfect for both serious anglers and leisure cruisers looking to explore South Florida's beautiful waters in style and comfort.
Istiophorus AlbicansThese speedsters are probably the most exciting fish you'll hook out here. Atlantic sailfish run 6-8 feet long, averaging around 50 pounds, with that massive dorsal fin they flash when hunting. They're surface feeders, usually cruising 30-65 feet down along current breaks and weed lines. Winter through spring gives us the best action when they follow the bait south. What makes them special? Pure athleticism - they'll jump, dive, and run like nothing else, plus they can actually change colors during the fight. Here's the key: when trolling, keep your speed around 8-10 knots and use a ballyhoo with a skirted head. Once hooked, don't horse them - let them run first, then work them steady. The meat's decent but most folks release these beauties.
Seriola dumeriliThese are the bulldogs of the reef - thick-bodied fighters that'll test your tackle and your back. Amberjack average 20-40 pounds but can push 60+ pounds and 4-5 feet long. They hang around structure like wrecks, reefs, and ledges, usually 60-200 feet deep. Spring and fall are prime time when they're most active and feeding heavy. What guests love is the pure power - they don't jump much but they'll drag you straight down to the bottom and make you work for every inch. The meat's good eating too, firm and white. Here's what works: drop a live bait or heavy jig right to the bottom near structure, and when one hits, crank hard immediately to get them off the wreck. Hesitate and they'll wrap you up in the rocks every time.
Seriola FasciataThe smaller cousin of the greater amberjack, these guys are more of a specialty catch. They max out around 25 inches and 10 pounds, with that same olive-green back and silver sides but a distinctive gold stripe running eye to tail. You'll find them deeper than their big brothers, usually 180-400 feet down over hard bottom and structure. They're open year-round but seem most active during cooler months. While not known as fighters like greater amberjack, they're still fun on lighter tackle and make decent table fare. Most guests enjoy the challenge of targeting something different. The trick is getting your bait or jig all the way to the bottom where they live - use a heavy vertical jig and work it slow near the structure. They're curious fish and will usually check out anything moving down there.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are hands-down the most colorful fish we catch - brilliant golds, blues, and greens that put on a light show when they come to the boat. Most run 15-30 pounds and about 3-4 feet, though we've seen some real bulls pushing 50. They love floating debris, weed lines, and current edges, usually hanging in the top 100 feet. Best fishing happens spring through fall when water temps hit 75-80 degrees. Guests love them because they fight hard, jump clean out of the water, and taste fantastic - sweet, firm meat that's perfect grilled. They're also aggressive feeders, so once you find one, there's usually more around. Pro tip: when you see frigate birds working floating sargassum, get your lines out fast. That's mahi territory.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are pure speed machines - sleek, silver torpedoes with blue tiger stripes that can hit 60 mph. They average 20-40 pounds and 3-5 feet long, though we've hooked some real giants pushing 80+ pounds. These are open-water predators that cruise the blue water and edges, usually in the top 100 feet. Best action runs from late summer through winter when they follow the bait migrations. What makes them special is that lightning-fast strike and the way they peel line off your reel. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish in the ocean - white, flaky meat that's perfect for fish tacos. Key to success is high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with wire leaders - those razor teeth will slice through anything else. When one hits, hang on tight because the first run is always memorable.
