Randy Divis5.0VerifiedAmazing Trip
5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenIncredible experience, captain was knowledgeable and really friendly. My kids had an amazing time and we caught fish all day.
Thomas BergRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat outing with a terrific captain
3 Hour Trip – Deep Reef on September 27, 2025 • 3 adultsMy 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!!!

5 Hour Trip – Deep Reef on August 9, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had an amazing time with Hammertime Fishing Charter yesterday! Captain Danny Avila was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made the whole experience so much fun. He was great with the kids also and taught them how to hook the bait and prepare the knots and lines. We caught a lot of fish and had such a great time out on the water. Captain Danny knew exactly where to take us and was always there to help and make sure we were having a great experience. He made everything easy and enjoyable, and we really appreciated how attentive he was throughout the trip. It was a wonderful experience and a great day spent together. We highly recommend Hammertime Fishing Charter and Captain Danny Avila. We will definitely be back!
