GREAT CREW, GREAT TIME!
We booked a 6-hour fishing trip with SoFlo Sport Fishing, and overall, it was a great day on the water! Captain Dave and his mate Seth were both friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the fish just weren’t biting during the first 4 hours of our trip, which was a bit of a disappointment, especially since our involvement was just reeling in whatever was on the line. That said, Captain Dave and Seth were determined to find a successful spot for us, and that helped to make the trip enjoyable, despite the slow start. It ended up being a fun and memorable trip, which is what we were looking for!

Wife’s birthday bucket list
My wife is an avid fishing person and had never been sport fishing before. So, for her birthday, we booked a sport fishing trip with SoFlo fishing and Captain Dave. The conditions were tough and the water was rough and they tried many different approaches and methods before helping my wife catch a barracuda and a black fin tuna. Needless to say my wife had a great birthday! Thanks Captain Dave and first mate Jeff for a great evening out on the boat! Chris K

Unforgettable Fishing Trip with Captain Dave & Crew!
We had an absolutely incredible time with Captain Dave and his crew mate, Seth, at SoFlo Fishing Charter! From start to finish, they made our trip an unforgettable experience. Captain Dave is a true pro—knowledgeable, talented, and clearly passionate about what he does. His easy-going nature and great sense of humor made us feel right at home on the water. Seth was just as fantastic, always ready to lend a hand and share insights that made the trip even more enjoyable. Whether it was finding the perfect fishing spots, expertly guiding us, or just creating an awesome atmosphere, these guys delivered beyond expectations. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing experience in South Florida, look no further than Captain Dave and his crew. We can't wait to book our next trip! Highly recommend!

Mahi Galore
My family of 4 (2 adults & 2 boys, 9 & 15) went out for a 6 hour trip. It was my boys' first time doing more than lake or beach fishing. We started catching Mahi so quickly we were all shocked! Captain Dave and his First Mate Shawn were awesome! They had my little one reeling in fish left and right. We caught 22 mahi and a large Black Grouper that had EVERYONE on board pumped! It was a GREAT catching day! :)

Family Fishing Fun!
We went out for a 3-hour trip with our 11 year old and 17 year old. The 11 year old had never been deep sea fishing and was so excited. Jeff and Captain Dave were amazing. Jeff was patient and so engaging with our youngest and Captain Dave found all the best spots. We caught two barracuda and a black fin tuna. We took the tuna down to the raw bar where they prepared it for us to have for lunch. It was the very best day!
