Come fish the Sailfish Capital of the World with a crew that lives and breathes South Florida offshore fishing. From sailfish exploding on kite baits to mahi, blackfin tuna, kingfish, and wahoo tearing through the spread, Catch of the Day is built around one thing — giving our anglers the best shot at quality fish.
Fish aboard our 37’ Ocean Yachts Billfish, a proven offshore sportfishing platform powered by twin Cummins diesels and designed to fish hard without sacrificing comfort. A large open cockpit gives anglers plenty of room when the action gets hectic, while an air-conditioned cabin and private restroom make her just as comfortable for families as she is capable for serious fishermen.
Every trip is built around what the ocean gives us that day. We troll, live bait, fly kites, bump troll, and bottom fish, changing locations and tactics as conditions dictate. We don’t lock ourselves into one style of fishing — the goal is to find the bite and give you the best opportunity to capitalize on it.
Capt. Trent Shapiro is a Stuart native with over 25 years of experience fishing South Florida waters. Raised fishing out of St. Lucie Inlet with his father, he has spent a lifetime learning the local reefs, currents, seasons, and fisheries. Tournament fishing and time spent chasing big game throughout the Bahamas and beyond have added to the experience he brings to every charter.
Catch of the Day is also committed to protecting the fishery and giving back to the community through conservation efforts, youth fishing events, educational seminars, charity trips, and local outreach.
Whether you’re looking for your first sailfish, filling the box with dinner, or you’re an experienced angler ready to fish hard, climb aboard and let’s go fishing.

Over the last year I have planned and booked charter trips for me and a few friends. Each time the captain found reason to cancel, even after weekend vrbo's were paid for. This time once again the weather turned south at the tast moment, but this time we were not to be disappointed. Captain Trent called me and gave us the weather update and the option of what to do. We decided to go and boy was it worth it. Captain Trent worked hard all Day to keep is between the storms and on the fish. As for his mate, Bazil, I have never met a harder working person in my life. This young man never stopped. All lines were in the water as fast as possible, constantly changing leaders and baits to make sure we didn't miss a fish. During the day we cought multiple Mahi, limited out on Tuna, and landed 2 Sailfish. Both Bazil and captain Trent were enjoyable to be around and very knowledgeable as well. The boat..... There is no way by looking at it you would know it was almost 15 years old. the boat is beutiful. It was a nice surprise to find that the cabin has air conditioning. It was a well needed brake from the sun. I would definitely recommend booking with Captin Trent, and I will be back as soon as possible for another day.
Captain Trent called me and advised me against going out during what was expected to be particularly rough water. We adjusted our 3-day excursion with him and had an absolute blast - Captain Trent is a terrific guide. His crew is also top-shelf. I am so glad I was able to book Catch of the Day and would absolutely recommend to others. They work hard. They treated us so well and made it very fun, indeed!
We arranged a memorial service, therefore no fishing, and it went perfect. The Captain kept in constant contact with weather updates and rescheduled us to a safe day to go out on the ocean. Being in town for a short period of time during December high tides, this was very important to us. We brought smaller children who had never been on the ocean, so the fact that they have seating completely hard covered with windows and a bathroom, was such huge factors when booking. One of our kids slept the majority of the ride. Our Captain was very flexible and took pictures and video for us. On the way back through the river, we even saw dolphins! Highly recommend!

Excellent experience on the water with Captain Trent and his first mate, Brandon. Simply cannot say enough good things about Catch of the Day charters! Our first time chartering a boat to deep sea fish and we were NOT disappointed. From contacting us the day before (via text and phone) to discuss what the weather forecast was looking like and reminding us what we should bring along, to the moment we arrived, Captain Trent made us feel like family. Being newbies, he and Brandon made sure to explain and show us everything! They knew exactly where the fish were and within minutes of "arriving" out at sea, both of my kids had impressive-sized Mahi Mahi on the hook!! Being our first time, we booked the half day trip, not knowing what to expect. However, during our time out we caught close to 20 fish, including red snapper and other varieties! The excitement of the day was when an approximately 40+ lb amberjack (educated guess by Captain Trent and Brandon) took our bait/red snapper catch on the way up, only to get swallowed by what clearly was a 100+ lb SHARK as the family took turns trying to reel the find in!! (Also caught a bird (!) that caused a wee bit of chaos as we set it free). Captain Trent and Brandon filleted and cleaned all of our catches at the end and we left with an entire cooler full of the freshest fish! DEFINITELY recommend Catch of the Day charters and we WILL be back!!
I’m a former charter captain from Bermuda and in my opinion Captain Trent and his mate Braden are fabulous! They worked to ensure our trip was a success from the minute we stepped on the boat. While Cap’n Trent explained the boat rules Trent was getting the baits set up and the rods out and ready. We steamed out, stooped to pick up some live baits, and then steamed a little further and put out the trawl. We hit a couple of bonito and then the sailfish hit! Josh and Alex shared the work and were able to land him. This was Alex and Josh’s first deep sea fishing trip, and they’re already planning the next one and it will be with Catch of the Day!

We had a great experience aboard Catch of the Day. Trent and Josh are very professional and knowledgeable when doing their job, and you can tell they love what they do. Captain quoted during the trip " my main objective is that the customer has a good time and is satisfied ". On this charter the crew will of course fish for what you prefer and the method you want, but after trolling was slow that day, we let them suggest what was the best way to catch the most fish on that day, and they didn't let us down. They both worked hard the whole full day charter and it paid off. Even a very nice grouper. This was my first charter with Catch of the Day, one of many boats I've been on, and I will DEFINITELY be coming back. Thanks for the trip guys, great time!
My family and I were very impressed with the services provided by Catch of the Day . Captain Josh and Mate John were nothing but Amazing. They accommodated our trip while we were in town and made our adventure an unforgettable one. The boat was very clean, organized and fully equipped with everything we needed. It was the first time I’ve seen someone rig the Kite and use it for Sailfish. Just 2 hours into our trip, (that includes catching live bait), we land a Sail! Not only did we catch 1, but caught 3 Sailfish which was a first for us in our group! We also caught plenty of fish to take home for dinner; Mutton, King, and Tuna to name a few. In addition to the fishing experience, Captain Josh recommended a few local spots we could eat at that were truly as he described, Fabulous! Don’t waste your time on other charters and play a guessing game, book with Capt. Josh and Catch of the Day for an amazing experience. We have found our Charter in Jensen Beach and can’t wait to return.
We had a great time with Captain Josh on a half day fishing charter. My 9year old son had been wanting to go deep sea fishing and so we booked this trip for the family for his birthday. We got a little worried when My son started to get nauseous during the trolling but Captain Josh recommended he lay down and take a little nap and luckily after that he felt fine and was able to enjoy the fishing! We caught a lot of snapper and a few other fish that we threw back (grunt fish, trigger fish, and even a crazy looking scorpion fish). The boat was clean, spacious, and the Captain and his assistant made everything super easy for us to just enjoy the excitement of fishing. My sister did get sea sick the entire trip, which was disappointing. So I would definitely recommend you prepare with Dramamine or something else prior to the trip. I would definitely recommend Catch of the Day for your next fishing excursion and hope that we can go again some day as well.
Early December 2 days for sailfish. Saw 2 but got none on (only a handful caught by the entire fleet during this time. During a sailfish tournament, too). Not for lack of trying though. Multiple spots and techniques. Kept interesting by landing a trophy bull Mahi, 2 huge Blackfin, big Skipjack, and multiple Barracuda. Crew was professional, friendly and good fellowship. Will try it again with Catch of the Day next season.
From the start of the trip Captain Josh and his First-mate Trent we’re awesome. Great personality’s, you could tell they fully enjoy what they do. They put us on the perfect spot for snapper and it was on. Just as the bite would slow on the snapper we’d get trigger fish and king fish biting. Once we were happy with our meat fish we took off for a sailfish and they did not disappoint there either. We got hooked up and it put up an amazing fight. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to have these guys take us out again.
