Fun Trip
Party Boat Fishing - 1:30 PM on June 27, 20262 adults

Me and my girlfriend decided to go deep sea fishing 🎣 because she has never been before my main goal is for her to at least catch something on this trip and she caught two fish! which was all I needed to see! I also caught one my self we are pretty happy with even catching anything as we know going out that it's not guaranteed you catch anything. the crew was amazing and very informative and would definitely recommend! Also recommend you bring a cooler with beverages and possibly some ice packs to put on your neck or so as it is extremely hot and you feel half dead after the 4-Hour trip is done.

Overall great bang for your buck
Party Boat Fishing - 1:30 PM on March 8, 20262 adults

My husband and I are fishermen from Northern Ontario and wanted to try something different down in Florida. My husband caught one Strawberry Grouper, and I didn't catch anything. We got many bites throughout the process, and the crew was very helpful to give us tips and tricks to help increase our chances of catching fish. Other people were pulling in fish which was cool to witness. I would recommend this excursion as a great introductory experience into deep sea fishing. It was a great bang for the buck. I am prone to motion sickness, and even though I took all the medication before hand, I still got sick. Beware of this. Still had a great overall experience.

Great Experience so we went out twice
Party Boat Fishing - 1:30 PM on June 2, 20262 adults

We went out twice with this group (on the same day). We caught about 5 fish on the first outting and about 10 on the second. They do move locations if the fish aren’t biting. The captain and crews are AMAZING and incredibly helpful and friendly. Fish sizes are a bit on the smaller side from what you would expect, but we did catch some that were about a foot long. We also caught a barracuda which we were told was rare. So that was exciting. We saw others pull up an eel, rabbit fish, snapper, some type of fish with legs. The night fishing brought up some weird fish!

Amazing fishing and great crew
Party Boat Fishing on March 30, 20261 adult

Its amazing how the crew on this boat took care of the customers. The day i went out it was 6-8 foot seas with the occasional 10 footer and mostly everyone was over the sude the entire trip. The crew knew exactly what to do and gave them tips on how to feel better. Im pretty sure everyone caught a fish that day but with the elements it made it kinda hard for the beginners. I got myself 2 nice mutton snapper and a bubch of triggerfish. Amazing trip would 100% recommend to anyone trying to get out on the water with family for a low cost. Just check the weather beforehand.

FISH
Party Boat Fishing on June 21, 20262 adults

The trip was full with typical elbow to elbow drops, but we still managed to catch fish. Most were small , but we did get 8 keepers including two that were strawberry groupers. This trip is best for families and newbies. Keep in mind that you will be tipping the crew as you get off the boat and tipping the crew when they fillet your fish. usually a few dollars per fish. Tight lines!

Mutton Snapper
Red Grouper

I am a 3rd generation fisherman here in Fort Lauderdale. My dad is a fisherman, so I grew up in the charter fishing business... in fact, my parents actually met at the dock where I still work today. I fished alongside my father throughout my high school years, as a deckhand on fishing charters as well as fishing the Bahamas Billfish Champion Circuit every year. I got my captain's license the first month I turned 18 years old and have been fishing full time ever since.
