Father and Son Sportfishing – Reel Nauti

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.

I have been fishing since I was very young and it's a passion I'm truly dedicated to. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and love of fishing with other anglers, which is one of the main reasons why I started running my own charter. I've had the fortune to fish the waters from Florida to the Bahamas, and today I work hard to put you on the fish and give back to the community through my work.
