301 Seabreeze Blvd
Fort Lauderdale FL, United States

The exceptional Party Boat Fishing, run by Captain Andy Roydhouse offers unrivaled reef and nearshore trips. A family business, Capt. Andy is the fourth generation of fisherman in his family, and is committed to providing a fun, productive time to all aboard. 

The Drift My Boat is a 75’ saltwater fishing boat, designed to carry up to 30 passengers, all of whom will fish off the side of the boat. This party boat runs tours every single day in Fort Lauderdale. The daily schedule is:

8:30am - 12:30pm
1:30pm - 5:30pm
7:30pm - 11:30pm

All shared trips are $45 per person plus tax, and that includes everything you will need to fish. Just bring your own refreshments and they will supply everything else - rods, reels, licenses, and bait.

On this boat, you’ll go bottom fishing for Snappers, Grouper, Porgies, Grunts and other small to medium sized bottom fish. Most fish caught are in the 1-2 pound range and they are good eating fish. You will be accompanied by an experienced captain and mate, who will guide you and take you about one mile offshore to the Fort Lauderdale reef. You’ll get a fantastic fishing experience for next to nothing, and you may even make some new friends. Hop aboard!

    This trip is one of a kind on this special, expansive boat. You'll get to sail out to the nearshore by night, watching sunset before anchoring up on the fish to dip your tackle in the water and start reeling them in. The waters off Fort Lauderdale are renowned for the range of fish species available and you'll try to hook anything from a Snapper to an Amberjack, to Tuna, as well as numerous smaller fish.

    Come party boat fishing at night for Snapper and Grouper. At night we anchor the boat and chum the water for the snappers and other small bottom fish. Most of the fish we catch are in the 1-2 pound range and they are mostly good eating fish. We catch Snappers, Porgies, Grunts, Grouper, Jacks and more. Our main target is Snapper, which are not big fish, but they are fun to catch and delicious. This is a great way to get out fishing inexpensively in Fort Lauderdale and have some fun.

    On this trip we go out to the reef which is about a mile offshore. Everyone lines up along the side of the boat and fishes off the side. We bottom fish for Snappers and other small to medium sized bottom fish. Our main target is Snapper which are in the 1-2 pound range. Sometimes (but certainly not always) we catch larger fish such as Kingfish or Tuna. This is a great trip to get out on the water inexpensively and hopefully catch a couple good eating fish to take home for dinner.

I am a 3rd generation fisherman in Fort Lauderdale. I started in 1967 as a mate on one of the local drift boats. I fished with my dad who also worked the boat and taught me how to fish. When I was old enough, I began working as a mate on the sportfishing boats. As the years passed, I got my captain's license. I took a private sportfishing captain's job for about 8 years where the owner of the boat and I fished the Bahamas Billfish Championship tournaments, all through the Bahamas, Caribbean and south Florida. In 1994, I took out a $30,000 loan to buy a charter boat and start my own business, for me and my sons. A couple years later, we bought a drift boat, the Catch My Drift and we've been drift fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale every day since. The Catch My Drift is Fort Lauderdale's largest and only air-conditioned drift boat. We run 3 trips every day and nobody fishes more than we do. There are several captains of the boat: me, my sons Rod and Andy, and Stu and Bill.
