The Catch Of the Day is a world-renowned Ocean Yachts 37’ Billfish. A Sportfish known in the industry as the ultimate charter boat. Keeping the family together and comfortable, the Billfish was built for an experience on the water. Born ready and willing to chase big game fish in waters near and far. Powerful Cummins engines make her quick and nimble making it a deadly hunter able to spin a full 360 in the matter of seconds. Her day boat style allows seamless access to the large cockpit equipped with a bait freezer, custom rocket launcher, tackle stowage, a transom door, insulated fish boxes, and a transom live well.
Captain Trent Shapiro is a Stuart, FL native with over 25 years of experience on the water in South Florida. His childhood groomed him to be a sportsman, fishing with his father Michael any day they could right here out of St. Lucie inlet. Trent tries to continue that tradition with his own family spending as much time as they can together on the water. He hopes his son little Mikey grows up to love the saltwater just as much as his father and grandfather did.
From dead bait trolling, to live baiting, flying the kite, or sending bait down deep for dinner, Captain Trent makes sure to give his clients their best opportunity to get on the fish.
Growing up in The Sailfish Capital of the World makes you quick on your feet and well versed in switching or applying new tactics. From participating in various tournaments to tuna/wahoo trips to the Bahamas or Marlin in Cabo San Lucas. Experience fishing in other parts of the world has taught him many important skills, tricks, and a few good jokes to set Capt. Trent apart from the usual angry ol’ charter Capt.
South Florida is known for its incredible system of natural and artificial reefs. It’s taken years of studying and fishing these waters to learn the migration patterns and feeding habits of our fisheries. Along with the help of some incredible mentors that have made the dream being a charter captain.
