Capt. Taco’s Hooked Up Sportfishing
Capt. Taco’s Hooked Up Sportfishing is your key to the best angling in South Florida. Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale and feel the connection with the waters. Fishing with Capt. Taco is a unique experience everyone should have!
Deep drop for what is around the wrecks, including Amberjack, Grouper, Cobia, and Mutton Snapper. Try kite fishing for Sailfish and get a bonus of Shark, Kingfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and many more.
If you are a big fan of Sharks, target these pelagic monsters in about 350 ft of water. Go for fast Mako Shark, Thresher Sharks that look like aliens, beautiful Hammerheads, Tiger Shark, Bull Shark, Blacktip… and the list just goes on!
One of the best things about the beautiful waters of Fort Lauderdale is that you don’t have to travel too far out to enjoy rod-bending action! Capt. Taco will take you trolling the reef for Kingfish and Bonito or offshore for something bigger. Cast with spinner rods for schools of Mahi Mahi, target Wahoo, Tuna, and occasional Blue Marlin.
Or get the most out of your South Florida trip and get your hands on Swordfish. Head up to 20 miles out, rig bait, and get ready for an adrenaline rush.
Capt. Taco will take you out aboard the ‘Hooked Up.’ With 41’ of excellence, she comes powered by two 450 HP Avico engines. Inside and outside, six anglers will find ample of space and can have a seat wherever they like.
Once the Hooked Up sets out, a reliable set of navigational electronics will guide you, homing in on the hottest grounds. You will be using International reels ranging from 20 to 80 lb and custom rods, built by Capt. Taco.
The action will take place outside the cockpit. There are 4 fighting chairs for those who are up to a challenge. All aboard!
The trips aboard the Hooked Up are all-inclusive. You only need to bring your own food and drinks.
Due to raising fuel; prices we are forced to charge a small fuel charge per trip.
4 and 5 hour trips $50.00 dollar
6 and 8 hour trips $75.00 dollars
10 and hr. $100 Dollar

Edgar Gutz5.0VerifiedFishing turned to catching!
3/4 Day Trip - 7:00 AM on September 26, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Taco and his crew were excellent. Great communication through the app with responses within 30 minutes or less. Jack was our first mate and he was excellent! Always on top of the equipment, watching for fish and looking for indicators to put us on the fish. He cleaned the fish and packaged for us as well. The whole trip was a great time, from catching bait to trolling, to catching snapper. Boat was clean and as pictured and advertised. Plenty of room inside and out. Ton of fun! Highly recommend this crew and boat
Matt Del RossiRepeat angler5.0VerifiedDouble Up Sailfish
3/4 Day Trip - 7:00 AM on February 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childWe had a great time fishing with Captain Taco and his first mate Jack. Even though it was a rough day on the water, they still had us hooked on some fish! We had to cut our day short due to some sea sickness but had an experience of a lifetime catching two Sailfish at the same time. First mate Jack worked hard rigging and baiting our fish in 5 to 6 foot waves. My son and I would highly recommend fishing with Taco and crew!

5 Hour Trip on January 18, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Taco and Dan are rockstars. Hooked an 8ft hammer head for my birthday. My wife hada a great time learning all abor the boat and some history of Miami fishing. Once things heat up Captain Taco and Ron will be seeing my handsome mug again. FYI, word on the street is we were the only catch of the morning.

Full Day Trip on December 28, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 childrenCapt Dan and first mate Mac were awesome. They somehow managed to put us on 2 sails, a bunch of tuna (football and butterball) and some mutton on a day that the bite was slow. Very courteous and overall great guys to spend a day on the water with, who were also very patient with our teenage boys.
