Florida Everglades Charters

If you’re looking for the right way to explore Florida Everglades, join Capt. Brett’s for a day of fishing. Have been catching fish in the Everglades for over 20 years. He’s based in Fort Lauderdale and knows about fishing opportunities in local lakes and coastal waters.

These trips welcome everyone, regardless of your fishing experience. Please bring your friends, kids, and even pets on the boat and share the adventure with them. There’s enough space for wheelchair-bound anglers to join as well.

You’ll be fishing on a 22’ Sterling boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine that will get you to your fishing spot in no time. There’s a cooler for your snacks and drinks but feel free to bring your cooler if you’re keeping the catch. The boat also features navigational electronics, a live bait tank, and a wireless trolling engine.

The captain specializes in catching Largemouth Bass, your primary target on these trips. You can also go after Crappie, Alligator Gar, Peacock Bass, and Sunfish. If you have any special requests regarding the fish, you want to target, just let the captain know. He can take you to a different fishing spot, where you’ll have more chances of catching the fish of your dreams.

Your fishing equipment is fully covered, so you don’t need to rent it or bring your own. Have your fishing license ready, and pack some snacks and drinks. Departure times are also flexible, so let the captain know when you want to go.

Fish with the captain, who has lots of knowledge and passion for sharing. Join Florida Everglades Charters!
