Flat Bottom Fishing Charters
Welcome to Flat Bottom Fishing Charters, where big fish are always in season.
If you are in the Fort Lauderdale area and are looking for the fight of a lifetime look no further! We will be targeting GIANT Tarpon and Snook on relatively light tackle, hooking into fish in the 100lb+ range. These big Tarpon put on quite a show, jumping 6+ feet out of the water, pulling a TON of drag, breaking a lot of gear and a lot of hearts. But if you have the determination and with a little bit of luck you just might land the fish of a lifetime. Come out and test your skills against the most prized inshore fish in the world, The Silver King, Tarpon!
Captain Dennis specializes in inshore fishing for large Snook and Tarpon. He offers half-day charters for up to 4 anglers and will also supply all necessary bait and tackle. Sticking mainly to calm inshore protected waters, there's no need to worry about getting seasick on his boat.
Family and kid-friendly, they cater to all experience levels, from the avid angler to the first-time fisherman. Times are flexible, so send the captain a message and let him know if there is a time that works better for you.
Fishing licenses are included.

We had a great time with Dennis at Flat Bottom Charters. The guy flat out works hard. You can tell he genuinely cares about putting you on fish and making sure you have a good day. He’s constantly adjusting, moving spots, trying different approaches — whatever it takes. There’s no “just going through the motions” with him. He’s locked in the whole time and wants you to succeed. On top of that, he’s just an easy guy to be around. Laid back, patient, and focused on making sure everyone’s enjoying themselves. If you want someone who’s going to put in the effort and give you a real shot at a successful day, Dennis is definitely worth booking. I’d go out with him again without hesitation.
thanks for the awesome review man puttin this one on the fridge hope to fish w you guys again soon
It was my 14-year-old son’s desire to take a trip to Florida for his February school break and charter boat to fish for Tarpon. He located Dennis who runs Flat Bottom Fishing Charters and we set up for a night time trip. Not only did we get Rite on the Phish and my son experienced a 45 minute fight with an 80 pound tarpon, but the way Dennis handled the entire experience was not just extremely professional, but also mind blowing fun! We had an absolute blast, and if anyone is thinking about charting a boat in the Fort Lauderdale area, I would recommend you jump on board with Dennis 10 times out of 10! I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Dennis! Next time we are in the area, we will certainly jump on board again.
This was the first time my son or I have been fishing for Tarpon. Its definitely a different experience than any other type of fishing. These are huge, hard-fighting, intelligent fish and if you have never fished them, you definitely someone skilled and knowledgeable like Capt Dennis to coach you through the process. With his help my son landed a huge 150lbs tarpon that fought for just shy of an hour. Heck of a fight, heck of a fish! It was good to see the love that Dennis has for these magnificent creatures and the care he took to ensure the fish was released unharmed. This was an experience my son and I will remember the rest of our lives!! Highly recommend!
thanks for the great review man hope to fish w you guys again!!
Captain Dennis was great we started on some smaller fish like snapper and blue runner, once the sun went down we got on some big tarpon! No shortage of finding the fish and he had was excited to find the fish and he was able to tell me little brother exactly how to use the rod and how to retrive. Very knowledgeable and I highly suggest.
Wow, what a trip. Never imagined I would hook into 3 100+ lb tarpon. the big girl that broke us off looked to be 150+ pound. These fish are awesome and Dennis will not only put you on them but teach you all the tips and tricks on how to fight these fish to put them in the boat. We will book with Dennis every time we come to Florida.
thank you so much!
