    Party Boat Fishing on July 27, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing experience with Catch the Drift Boat Charter! We booked the trip as a family of three because our 12-year-old daughter absolutely loves fishing, and we wanted her to experience fishing on a charter boat. The trip description was very accurate. Whether you’re looking for a fun day on the water with family or friends, this is a great choice. Our daughter caught around five fish, and plenty of other people on the boat were catching fish too, so there was action throughout the trip. The crew provided everything we needed, including fishing poles, tackle, and bait, and they were incredibly helpful and informative. They were always nearby to answer questions, offer tips, and assist anyone who needed help, making the experience enjoyable for both beginners and experienced anglers. One feature we really appreciated was the air-conditioned cabin inside the boat. It was the perfect place to cool off for a few minutes before heading back out to fish. I would recommend bringing your own drinks, water, and snacks to stay refreshed during the trip. Overall, this was a fantastic family experience, and we’re so glad we chose Catch the Drift Boat Charter. We made great memories, caught fish, and had a wonderful day on the water. We would definitely book with them again!

    Fun Trip

    Party Boat Fishing - 1:30 PM on June 27, 2026 • 2 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.

    Great Experience so we went out twice

    Party Boat Fishing - 1:30 PM on June 2, 2026 • 2 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!

    Josh was awesome. He was the first mate. He helped us when we needed. He made the trip very enjoyable. He told us which fish to keep and which ones to throw away. If you are looking for a great time and catch some fish, go with them. Chantal and Franz

Great boat and crew. Lots of fun!
Party Boat Fishing – Night on April 8, 2026 • 4 adults

So fun spending a few hours out fishing with friends and family. Even if you don't catch any fish, it's great to get out on the water to relax. Captain and crew were great... very friendly and attentive! I was not aware of the parking fee, and the recommended tips per crew member that they pushed seemed a bit much, so the trip ended up costing a bit more than expected, but all in all a very enjoyable outing! I would recommend to anyone interesting in a fun group outing.

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.
