If you’ve been looking for a fishing trip in Miami, the name Mark the Shark must have come up at least a dozen times. Captain Mark has been on a number of TV shows where he spoke about his shark fishing adventures and is very well known among locals. The main locations his charter covers are Miami (including Miami Beach), Fort Lauderdale, as well as surrounding areas. He runs an all-inclusive charter and is happy to welcome all anglers, no matter whether they are novices or pros.

The boat you will be fishing on is a 50’ Hatteras, and you’ll see from the photos that she’s a real beauty. A boat this big needs a lot of power, which is why it’s equipped with two 600 HP Detroit Diesel engines. Apart from all the necessary safety and navigation gear, the boat also has an air-conditioned cabin and private head to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.

Captain Mark will usually take you fishing from around a mile from shore, which is a ten-minute ride from the coast. Deep sea fishing is great out there, so expect to see plenty of Sailfish, Wahoo, Red Snapper, as well as a variety of Sharks, of course. Fly fishing and spearfishing gear can also be found onboard, so feel free to use what makes you the most comfortable.

The price of any trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as the necessary fishing licenses, a frameable 8x10 glossy photo of your trophy fish, video, and a souvenir shark tooth. Gratuity is not included in the price of a given trip, it's customary to tip 20% of the total charter price. Children of all ages are welcome, and you can also bring your pet if you like.

Don’t miss a chance to see why Mark the Shark is not just a name, but a brand we all know and love.

    The wind and swells couldn't stop us.. Still got 'em on!!

    4 Hr – Morning Fishing Trip on June 4, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Mark the Shark got us on some dolphin and we were likely the only charter that got on fish that day, the seas were rough and we saw several boats coming in empty handed. We got on multiple Mahi, and I landed a massive 250lb Goliath Grouper in the inlet when we headed back in. Great day, and got to teach the kids about tag / release etc.. Plus we ate well that night Mahi Nuggets for everyone haha!

    Half day trip with Mark the shark

    4 Hr – Morning Fishing Trip on February 24, 2018 • 4 adults

    We came for a sailfish and were not disappointed!! Rough seas were the only downside as it was a windy day. When the sailfish hooked, it was amazing how quickly we forgot about the swells! Great crew and one of the best pictures ever on my office wall. If you haven’t held a fishing pole with a sailfish on the other end of the line jumping high out of the water, you are missing out! Thank you Captain Mark and your crew for a great experience!!

    Big Fish-Happy Dad

    4 Hr – Afternoon Fishing Trip on November 3, 2016

    I booked fishing trip for my Dad, as his b-day present. My husband went along to accompany and translate. We were only 2 days in Miami, so we booked half-day trip. Boat was easy to find and my Dad was surprised by it's size. Really big boat. He wanted to catch sailfish ( i guess it's Hemingwaybooks that affected). And the fish he caught was a sailfish!What a luck! the fish was huge. He pulled it more then an hour, so 3 hour fishing trip extended to almost 5. My Dad was happy! all his russian fishing buddies where shocked when they saw pictures with his sailfish! Mark knows where fish is. Thank you Mark. You made a day for my Dad and Anton. Мы ездили в путешествие по ФЛориде, и останавливались в Майами на 2 дня. Обязательным пунктом программы - была океанская рыбалка для моего папы. Забронировали заранее и подарили на день рождения. На рыбалку поехали мой папа и мой муж, чтобы сопровождать и переводить. Лодку нашли легко. Моего папу она поразила размерами. По пути на рыбное место, папа вытащил небольшую барракуду. Но он видел фотографии с инстаграмма Марка и хотел поймать БОЛЬШУЮ рыбину, желательно марлина (видимо это влияние Хеммингуэя). Сначала поклевки не было, но уже под конец поездки клюнул здоровенный марлин (рыба-парусник). Папа тянул его больше часа, так что 3-часовая поездка растянулась почти на 5 часов. Мы с мамой в это время сидели в майами на телефоне и ждали затаив дыхание. Муж писал мне раз в 10 минут "еще тянет" "рыбина здоровая" и тд)) В итоге вытянул!!! огромного марлина. Это самая большая рыбина, которую он выловил в жизни. а рыбачит он много) Отправил фотки друзьям-рыбакам, они конечно, в шоке:) такая рыба у нас в Ладожском озере не водится)))в общем советую всячески!

    Its always Shark Week!

    Full Day Trip on May 15, 2016 • 4 adults

    No such thing as a bad day of fishing when you're in good company! My friends and I fished the full day. Even a slow day lacking current and water visibility, we caught a shark, tuna, trigger fish, & mackerel. The crew is very knowledgable so stay out of the way and let them do what they do best. Ryan, the deckhand, was a great teacher and patient with each of us. Very hardworking! Capt Mark is a character and they deliver great pics of the experience and trophies! We all had a great time! They do keep some of the mackerel for future shark baits if you're ok with that. "Just relax". The crew handled all baiting and setting up of tackle & all we had to do was reel em in! Very comfortable ride on the water, and we weren't getting thrown around by boat wakes like smaller boats I've been on.
