Half-Day Fishing Trip in Fort Lauderdale

First time fishing for my family. They were very excited when they each caught a Bonita. My brother in law landed a 5 foot reef shark. Very exciting. Chris, the mate and Greg our captain were very helpful and accommodating.

Me and my family went and we where all excited for this. It was very choppy out there but they did their best to make it safe and catch fish. Really great guys. Would definitely recommend doing this!!!

Captain and deck hands were very knowledgeable and put us on top of the fish! I had an amazing experience and would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a great memorable experience. Thank you everybody! This was a trip of a lifetime aka cali boy!

Wifey sent us on a fishing trip. Great bday gift. Fun. Exciting. Great staff. Be on time. Be ready. Catch your dinner.

Good experience and caught some fish too. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was my first time fishing.

Loved seeing my son catch a fish and seeing to dolphin swim right beside the boat. An absolutely amazing experience

We went on a half day fishing tour 4/27/22 am and were surprised to hear the crass language the captain was using. It was a very rough day on the ocean and we only caught a few non edible fish. We were pushed to tip the crew with “20’s and 50’s” which we didn’t realize to bring. Also we’re told by the captain that we lost a lot of fish at the last spot we tried since we didn’t know how to fish (seriously?? Wasn’t he supposed to teach us?” The 3 other crew were helpful and polite. They should get paid more so we don’t have to tip as much! And had no fish to bring home……

I showed up to this fishing trip with high hopes after reading all of the positive reviews! Our trip, however, was an absolute failure. The ride out was nice, but once we were anchored down, the tides were so choppy, there was no touching the fishing pole without keeping a tight grip on something the entire time. The boat was rocking so hard, a window fell out behind the guy next to me and he had to hold it up as we yelled for crew members. A young boy on the other side of me almost went flying off, into the water. His dad swooped him and asked for a life jacket. He wasn’t given one. None of us were— which I feel should have at least been optional in these conditions. People were falling, a lady was sliding around after falling on the floor of the boat like a ping pong ball in a dress. People left and right of me were rushing to and from the rail to puke. The sounds of gagging were EVERYWHERE. Children were covered from face to feet in puke. People were bumping into another. Yes, even the children who, again, had puke on them. I don’t even get motion sickness and I took some medicine for it just in case and I still yacked my guts out for hours. Just when I thought I couldn’t get sick anymore, I got sick again. Some people just stayed hanging over the edge. The loud speaker was terrible quality, but you could still hear the captain yell for people to stop getting sick on his vessel. It was very apparent we were MISERABLE. I didn’t see anybody even able to fish besides a few in the back, because that was the least of all our worries at the moment. After multiple people asking for us to go back early, a woman with children talked to the crew members and they took a toll. SEVEN people out of 40-50? People did NOT want to go back. I overheard this woman offered to refund those seven guys their money so that we could go back after two hours instead of the four. It was that bad. I understand there were “no refunds.” But this was a BEGINNER’S fishing trip. We were supposed to learn something and receive advice on how to catch certain fish. There’s no way those seven guys who wanted to stay were beginners— which is great for them. That trip was so terrible, I was sick the rest of the day. We canceled our kayaking trip later that day with no refund because it was within 24 hours, and I didn’t even want to be at the beach looking at the water. My entire last day out of the only three days I got of my vaca was spent recovering my stomach from that disgusting experience. The least the crew could have done was give us a warning beforehand about the conditions of the water.

While the tour company can not control the weather, the conditions were bad enough that the trip should have been cancelled. The crew was nice and friendly, but the captain was rude. We had passengers falling down and also getting sick because of the waves. He yelled over the speaker at people to stop getting sick on his vessel. So rude and unprofessional. The company considered this "normal" conditions. This was only normal for someone who does it daily and is used to it. They would rather leave the dock and put people in danger than give a refund.

waves 10 feet .7 ppl on boat my husband and I never touched a pole. captain was rude.this company was the ONLY company out on the water. the trip should have been canceled. I was unable to cancel due to weather they said I would not be refunded. while I was on the boat the boat was taking on water and shifting very hard I asked for a life jacket I was laughed at by the captin and the first mate.
