Join Hammertime Fishing Charters and have a great time out on the water with the beautiful city of Miami in the background. Owner and operator Captain Danny Avila is committed to providing professional guidance and an exciting adventure for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re a hardcore fisherman, a seasoned pro, or want a fun family trip with your children, you are welcome! Teaching the next generation of anglers is the captain’s passion. Join him in Coral Gables, Florida and come see what you’ll reel in next!

Captain Danny is passionate about all kinds of fishing techniques and strategies, from light tackle fishing inshore to big game fishing offshore and everything in between. Other than being knowledgeable, the captain is friendly, patient, and loves sharing his fishing expertise and passion while paying attention to details and providing excellent customer service.

Trips depart out of Matheson Hammock Marina in Miami, FL and you’ll target a variety of species depending on the time of year. Anything from Yellowtail Snapper and Grouper on the reef to Mahi offshore and even fishing inside Biscayne Bay.

You’ll use a 25’ Triton center console outfitted with a 225 HP Mercury engine and equipped with a range of navigational gear and marine electronics, including Garmin GPS, fishfinder, and radio. It features outriggers, downriggers, an ice-box, and a livewell. Up to 4 anglers can join aboard.

You’ll be using quality Penn, Daiwa, and Shimano fishing gear as well as all the necessary bait and tackle. However, feel free to bring and use your own fishing equipment or favorite fishing rod if you’d like.

Hammertime Charters also includes a fishing license, bottled water, and ice. You’re welcome to take home any keeper fish you catch and Captain Danny will gladly clean and bag it for you. Finally, just bring some food and keep in mind that smoking and alcohol aren’t allowed during the trip.

Choose your adventure and get ready for an incredible day on the water!

3 Hour Trip – Deep Reef

Great outing with a terrific captain

VERIFIED

My two teenage boys and I went out with Captain Danny on Saturday morning charter. Overall we had a great time and experienced some phenomenal fishing. Captain Danny is a true professional and I could not imagine a better captain in South Florida. He is an expert on this fishery and his life long experience on the water shows. In addition to being a terrific captain, he is a great teacher. My boys and I have been out on plenty of other charters, but we learned more from Danny than we ever had on other boats. So in addition to catching a ton of fish (which included at least 20 tuna, Spanish mackerel, Bonita, snapper in a half day), we learned a ton and will make use of these skills on future fishing adventures. Lastly, Danny is a great guy and just a cool guy to hang out with and fish with. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Danny and Hammertime fishing when fishing in the Miami area. Needless to say I now understand why Danny has a ton of repeat customers. We will be back too!!!

Captain Danny was awesome and easy to work with! Booking was easy and he gave clear directions on where to meet him at the marina. He was on time and ready for us to hop in. He really knew his stuff and grew up in the area so he knew exactly where everything was and where to put us on the fish. We caught a bunch of different types of fish and had an awesome time! Book with Hammertime!
