Ratings & Reviews Summary in Miami

AI Generated Review Summary

Fishing in Miami, Florida offers diverse opportunities from deep-sea offshore adventures to shallow flats fishing in Biscayne Bay and freshwater peacock bass trips through the Everglades. Anglers target sailfish, marlin, swordfish, mahi-mahi, king mackerel, yellowtail snapper, sharks, grouper, and tuna in offshore waters, while flats fishing produces bonefish, tarpon, and permit. Everglades canals yield peacock bass, canal tarpon, and snook. Guides consistently demonstrate deep local knowledge and adaptability, adjusting trips based on weather conditions while maintaining successful catches. Family-friendly charters excel at accommodating beginners and children with patient teaching approaches. Many captains offer unique catch-and-cook services, preparing fresh sashimi, ceviche, and fish tacos on boats or scenic beaches, creating memorable experiences beyond just fishing.

This was an incredible experience! Anthony is an outstanding host—knowledgeable, patient, and great to be around. As a first-time angler, I appreciated how he set everything up and walked me through each step. He even went the extra mile to help my partner go after the fish he was hoping for and spent additional time to make sure the trip was worthwhile. Well worth the booking, and the price is very reasonable. I’ll be booking with him every time I’m in the Miami area!

★★★★★ We booked a fishing charter with Captain Erich for my son’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Not only was Captain Erich incredibly patient and great with kids, but he was also impressively knowledgeable—not just about fishing, but about the entire ecosystem around us. We caught over seven different species of fish throughout the day, and he made sure we were always in the right spot at the right time. What really stood out was how much he shared with us about the area—from the birds flying overhead to the trees lining the shore and the wildlife we saw along the way. It felt like more than just a fishing trip—it was an adventure and a learning experience all in one. My son hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Highly recommend Captain Erich if you’re looking for a fun, educational, and unforgettable day on the water!
