Happy Snapper Sportfishing
Happy Snapper Sportfishing
Happy Snapper Sportfishing will take you to an unforgettable adventure on the east coast of Florida. Join Captain Harold and explore what offshore waters have to offer.
The trips are available year round and you can join regardless of your fishing experience. Even as a novice, you can go after the biggest fish out there - the only difference is that you’ll have more assistance by the captain than an experienced angler.
All aboard the magnificent 48’ Viking Sportfish boat. This vessel has more than enough room for 6 anglers to join. She’s been fully refurbished in 2020, has the latest navigational electronics and safety equipment. The comfort of this boat goes beyond what you would usually expect from a fishing boat - there’s an enclosed cabin with AC, a private bathroom, a fully functional kitchen, and she’s wheelchair accessible.
Visit offshore reefs and wrecks, searching for Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Tuna, Barracuda, Kingfish, and other big game fish. If you feel that catching them is too easy or too hard, you can always change the technique and adjust it to your skill.
There’s hardly anything you need to do to prepare, since the crew takes care of everything. Your fishing equipment, license, catch cleaning, snacks, and drinks are fully covered. Just bring some sunglasses and sunscreen, and you’re ready to go.
Fish with Happy Snapper Sportfishing and see what offshore fishing is all about!

Unforgettable Day on the Water — Captain Harold and John Made It Perfect for My Daughters
I booked a 6-hour trip with Captain Harold and First Mate John, and it was an absolute highlight for me and my daughters. Captain Harold went out of his way to make sure my girls had a memorable day on the water. He was patient, professional, and clearly cared about making the experience special for them. John was top-notch — helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. He guided my daughters through every step, cheered them on, and made sure they had the best chance to reel in fish. His attitude and energy set the tone for the whole trip. We caught plenty of fish, but what mattered most was how much fun my daughters had. Watching them light up with every catch is something I’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a charter that delivers not only fish but unforgettable memories for your family, Happy Snapper Sportfishing is it. I can’t recommend Captain Harold and John enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Fishing Experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Fishing Experience! We had an incredible day out on the water with Captain Harold and John! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and so much fun. Not only did we catch mahi-mahi, king mackerel, and wahoo, but the crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had the best chance at landing some serious fish. Captain Harold’s knowledge of the water and fishing hot spots is unmatched, and John was right there to help with everything we needed. Both were super accommodating and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable for everyone on board. To top it all off, they cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us at the end, which was the perfect finishing touch. They even recommended a local restaurant that would cook what we catched!!!! And the restaurant cooked it to perfection!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better trip — highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a top-tier fishing adventure!

Amazing experience!
Had a fantastic morning with Captain Harold. He has the first boat closest to the ocean on Pompono Beach, lines were in the water 15 minutes after we left, with our first fish within minutes. Ended up catching a beautiful 30lb wahoo, sailfish (catch and release) and a few others that were fun to pull in. Had great tasting fish (sashimi) for days. His boat is very nice, spacious, and rigged for a great fishing experience. I highly recommend using Captain Harold for your fishing experience. Thanks again!

Did the 4 hour fishing trip for a bachelor party and could not have asked for a better day out on the water. The boat, captain, and crew were all top notch. We were catching fish within minutes and it kept up throughout the day. Would recommend this trip to anyone interested in fishing!

Such a great time!
Harold and John were great! These guys did their very best to ensure our trip was awesome. We had inclement weather which cut our trip a bit short due to high winds and crazy waves but still managed to pull in 5 decent Blackfin Tuna. Will definitely book with them again!
