Picture this: eight full hours on the crystal-clear waters off Miami Beach with absolutely zero time pressure and complete freedom to fish the way you want. That's exactly what you get with Spearoholic Excursions' Platinum Experience – a fully customizable fishing adventure that lets you choose your start time and target whatever species gets your heart pumping. Whether you're itching to troll for kings, hunt for permit on the flats, or dive down for some spearfishing action, this top-rated charter adapts to your fishing dreams. With space for just four anglers, you'll get the personalized attention and prime fishing spots that make Miami Beach a world-class destination for serious fishermen.
This isn't your typical half-day rush job where you're watching the clock instead of your rod tip. The Platinum Experience gives you a full eight hours to really get dialed in and fish multiple spots without feeling hurried. Your captain knows these Miami Beach waters like the back of his hand, from the nearshore reefs where mutton snapper school up to the deeper structure that holds monster grouper. The beauty of this charter is the flexibility – start at dawn if you want to hit the bite at first light, or sleep in and begin your adventure mid-morning. You'll have time to try different techniques, move locations if the bite slows down, and even switch between conventional fishing and spearfishing depending on conditions. The boat is equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle, plus all the spearfishing gear you need if you want to get in the water. Don't worry about bringing anything except your fishing license, sunscreen, and drinks – everything else is handled.
Miami Beach fishing means versatility is king, and this charter covers all the bases. For the pelagic species like king mackerel and barracuda, you'll be trolling with live bait or pulling lures along the reef lines and drop-offs. The captain runs a spread of different baits – maybe some goggle-eyes on the riggers and a few ballyhoo on the flat lines to cover different depths. When targeting bottom species like mutton snapper and black grouper, you'll switch to heavy tackle and drop live or cut bait down to the structure. The real game-changer here is the spearfishing option – when conditions are right and the water's clear, you can grab a mask and fins to hunt fish the old-school way. The crew carries everything from beginner-friendly pole spears to more advanced spearguns, and they'll teach you proper technique if you're new to underwater hunting. For permit fishing, expect to use lighter tackle with crabs or small jigs worked around the sandy flats and patch reefs where these finicky fighters hang out.

King mackerel are the bread and butter of Miami Beach fishing, and for good reason. These fast-swimming predators can stretch over three feet long and put up a blistering fight that'll test your drag system. Kings are most active during the cooler months from October through March, when they move inshore to feed on the abundant baitfish. They're notorious for their speed and aerial displays when hooked, making them a customer favorite for anglers who love high-energy battles. The best part about targeting kings here is they're often found in schools, so when you find one, there's usually more waiting nearby.
Permit are hands-down one of the most challenging and rewarding fish you can target in these waters. These disc-shaped fighters are notorious for being extremely spooky and selective about what they eat, which makes landing one a real trophy moment. You'll typically find them cruising the sandy flats and patch reefs in water 10 to 40 feet deep, especially during the warmer months. Permit can reach 20 pounds or more, and they're famous for their powerful runs that can strip line off your reel in seconds. Many seasoned anglers consider permit the ultimate test of skill and patience – they'll humble you one minute and make you feel like a fishing legend the next.
Great barracuda are the aggressive predators that add serious excitement to any fishing day. These torpedo-shaped fish can grow over four feet long and are known for their lightning-fast strikes and spectacular jumps. Barracuda are year-round residents in Miami Beach waters, but they're most active during the warmer months when baitfish are abundant. What makes them so fun to catch is their unpredictable nature – they might follow a lure for hundreds of yards before deciding to strike, or they could attack the moment it hits the water. Their razor-sharp teeth and powerful jaws make them a thrilling challenge that keeps anglers on their toes.
Mutton snapper are prized for both their fighting ability and their excellent table fare. These colorful reef fish can grow over 20 pounds and are known for their strong runs and stubborn resistance when hooked. The best action for muttons typically happens during the summer months when they school up around the deeper reefs and wrecks. What makes them special is their wariness – they're smart fish that require finesse and the right presentation to fool. When you do hook into a good mutton, expect a hard fight with multiple runs toward the bottom structure where they try to break you off.
Black grouper represent the ultimate bottom fishing challenge in these waters. These massive fish can exceed 50 pounds and are masters at using structure to their advantage when hooked. You'll find them around the deeper reefs, ledges, and wrecks where they ambush prey from their rocky hideouts. The peak season for black grouper runs from May through August when they're

Safety gear and navigation equipment ensure smooth sailing while you focus on what matters most - hooking into some serious fish.
Mycteroperca BonaciBlack grouper are the bulldozers of the reef - thick, powerful fish that'll test your drag and your patience. Most run 10-30 pounds, but 50+ pounders lurk around Miami's deeper wrecks and ledges. Find them in 80-200 feet around structure where they ambush prey from caves and overhangs. Winter months are best when they move shallower, but we catch them year-round. What makes blacks special is the fight - pure power that'll make your arms burn. Plus, they're amazing table fare with sweet, flaky meat. They're not picky eaters but you need heavy tackle since they'll try to cut you off in the rocks immediately after hookup. Pro tip: once you hook one, crank hard and fast to get its head up before it reaches cover - hesitate and you'll lose your rig every time.
Sphyraena BarracudaGreat barracuda are the ocean's missiles - silver torpedoes that can hit 35 mph when they want your lure. Most run 3-4 feet and 10-20 pounds, but we see plenty over 30 pounds around Miami's reefs and grass flats. They hang in 10-60 feet near structure, coral heads, and edges where baitfish gather. Year-round fishing here, but spring and fall are peak when they're most aggressive. What's fun about cuda is they'll follow your lure right to the boat, giving you a heart attack with that toothy grin. They fight hard initially but tire quick. The meat's not great due to possible toxins, so most folks release them. Here's the trick: when one follows your lure without striking, stop reeling completely and let it sink - that usually triggers the bite.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing mackerel are fast, aggressive fish that'll test your gear and skills. These olive-colored speedsters typically run 15-30 pounds, though we catch some pushing 50+ pounds. You'll find them in 40-150 feet around Miami's reefs and drop-offs, especially during cooler months from October through March. They hunt in schools, feeding on baitfish, so when you find one, there's usually more around. What makes kings special is their blistering runs - they're almost as fast as wahoo and will peel line like crazy. The meat's decent eating if you bleed them right away. Pro tip: use a dual-hook rig with wire leader since they'll often grab your bait from behind and those razor teeth will cut mono instantly.
Lutjanus AnalisMutton snapper are one of our best eating fish and solid fighters that'll surprise you. These pinkish beauties typically run 5-15 pounds, though 20+ pounders show up regularly. You'll find them around Miami's reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottom in 60-200 feet, especially where there's good current flow. They bite year-round but really turn on during spawning season from April through July. What makes muttons special is they're smart - presentation matters more than bait choice. They'll inspect everything before committing. The pink color gets brighter as you bring them up, and the meat's outstanding - firm, white, and sweet. My go-to technique is a knocker rig with fresh ballyhoo or pilchards, and here's the key: use just enough weight to reach bottom and let that bait drift naturally in the current.
Trachinotus FalcatusPermit are the holy grail of flats fishing - beautiful, smart, and frustrating as hell. These silver, diamond-shaped fish average 15-25 pounds but can hit 40+. Around Miami, you'll spot them on shallow grass flats in 2-8 feet, especially near channels and drop-offs. Spring through fall gives you the best shots, with April to October being prime time. They're incredibly spooky with 360-degree vision, so stealth matters. What drives anglers crazy is how selective they are - they'll inspect your bait forever before deciding. The fight's powerful but not crazy long. Fresh blue crab is the gold standard for bait. My tip: when you see one, get your crab in front of where it's heading, not where it is, and don't move once you cast.
