Captain Josh Holmes is the owner and operator of Grand Slam Miami Charters. He runs trips out of Miami as well as down in the Keys, targeting the awesome range of big game predators and deep-water reef species that call the area home. He has a great range of trips to choose from, each promising big fish and a hard fight to get them onboard.
Head offshore in search of pelagic species like Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Tuna, or drop your lines over reefs and wrecks in search of Grouper, Snapper, Hogfish, and more. Up for the ultimate challenge? Head out on a specialist Swordfishing charter, dropping lines hundreds of feet into the depths of the ocean to hook these delicious, hard-fighting fish.
However you want to spend your day, you won’t find a better place to spend it than aboard Captain Josh’s 34’ Sea Vee center console. This hardy vessel has everything you could ask for, from outriggers and downriggers for the best spread to spearfishing equipment to let you get up close and personal with your favorite species.
The seas around Miami are some of the most productive in the state, with deep waters just a stone’s throw from the shore and a huge mix of species crowding into every habitat around. Captain Josh has been fishing these waters for over 20 years and knows how to get the most out of every spot and species. He provides bait, lures, and quality tackle on every trip, and will clean and fillet all your catch at the end of the day.
So many fish, so little time! Whatever you go for, you’re in for an awesome time, with an experienced guide and a clean, modern boat. It’s shaping up to be a seriously good fishing trip

Half Day Trip - Reef Fishing (PM)
My son and I had a great time with Captain Holmes. It was a challenging day with 20+ mph winds and choppy water but we managed to fish the reefs and catch several yellowtail snapper, Grouper, Cobia, and Mutton snapper. He is a great guy and as a South Florida native, he knows the water well. Highly recommended.

Full Day Trip - Reef Fishing
Top of the line everything. Great personality. Boat was in the water live well full of bait waiting for me to jump on board and bend the rods. I have been on many charters and this is by far the best I have found hands down . Highly recommend you go fish with Capt. Josh. Caught some really nice black grouper , limited out on yellow tail and mutton snapper and hooked multiple kingfish . Looking forward to an inshore day in the near future.
