If you want to go fishing with a family-owned and operated charter, Father and Son Sportfishing is the one to turn to! When you want to be on the best bite, you need a local captain to show you around the area, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with this company. We hold a unique US Coast Guard Examination certificate for safety.
To begin your offshore fishing expedition, you will come aboard a spacious 46’ sportfisher rigged with twin 375 HP Cat engines, that has plenty of room to take up to 6 anglers to new fishing horizons. The vessel sports all the comforts of home on the water – a private toilet, an air-conditioned cabin with beds, and a galley.
Not only is she comfortable, but she’s also a lean fishing machine with all the fishing gear you could possibly need, with two livewells, outriggers, and a flybridge to keep an eye out for the best fish. You will also have an icebox on board, to keep your catch fresh after you bring it into the boat.
Speaking of your catch, you’re in for some first-class angling action while going after offshore and nearshore game fish. Depending on which trip you choose, you’ll be on the trail of Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Red Snapper, Grouper, Sharks, Bluefin Tuna, and then there are Swordfish and Sailfish, some of the best game fish you can find.
Your captain will supply rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as bait and a selection of lures. At the end of your trip, your catch will be cleaned and filleted for your convenience. If you need a pickup, that’s also an option, just arrange it with the captain beforehand.
Feel free to bring the little ones on an expedition with Father and Son Sportfishing, they will enjoy themselves and fishing is a wonderful bonding opportunity. Just make sure your kids are 5 and older so that they can fully enjoy the experience. Everything is ready, it’s up to you to bring snacks and drinks and head out. From mild to wild, this charter is glad to accommodate your sportfishing preferences!

Half Day Trip (AM)
We booked a morning trip. Out ran some storms only to catch our first wahoo and some Bonita’s. They changed up the style of fishing and then we caught not 1 but 2 nice size cobias. Captain Mark and TJ make a great team and my family had such a great experience! It was great being able to bring whatever we wanted to eat and drink to keep us going the whole time. If you are looking for a great time, reliable team and comfy, spacious boat for your family trip, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with father and son. Can’t wait for our next trip. Thank you guys!!!

It was an amazing experience even if the fish weren’t biting. The crew still got us on a couple almoco jack. It was great to see my 13 year old son reel it in!! The Crew was extremely great with my father-in-law who is disabled. They got him on & off the boat which was not an easy task! Definitely a 10 star charter!!! I will definitely be booking with them for future fishing trips in Florida!!!:)

Half Day Trip – Shark, Shark, Shark
Booked a 1/2 day trip with a focus on sharks to make sure the kids got some action. Started trolling and brought up a nice sailfish within the first 2 hours. Dropped a bonito carcase and got ourselves hooked up with a shark in the 225# range within minutes. After a long fight for the kids, we trolled a bit more for Bonito and a black grouper before getting dropped off right at our hotel. Great trip!! Couldn't have asked for a better boat, captain or first mate. Thanks guys!
