Kind of Dog Day, But Captain Salvaged It!
6 Hour Offshore Trip (AM) on December 28, 20254 adults
Kind of a slow day fishing, but Luis worked his but off switching up gear, trying different spots, breaking it up by playing around catching some bait fish, chasing down leads for hotspots from other captains, going after any and everything biting. We caught a small shark early in the day, had a long drought, and finished the day hooking my daughter up on a barracuda. Easy going, laid back attitude, very knowledgeable, and personable. My wife’s not big on fishing and she said she could’ve stayed out longer. Most important, we all got off his boat with a smile on our faces. Would definitely use again if we’re fishing this area.

Amazing Experience! I would book again and again!
6 Hour Offshore Trip (AM) on December 27, 20254 adults
From start to finish, this fishing charter was an absolutely outstanding experience and easily one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had on the water. The moment we stepped aboard, the Captain Luis set the tone with his calm, welcoming, and genuinely relaxed demeanor. You could immediately tell this was someone who not only knew what he was doing, but truly loved what he did, and that energy carried through the entire trip. What really stood out was Captain Luis determination to make sure everyone had a great experience, regardless of skill level. He wasn’t satisfied until every single person on the boat had a fish on the line. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about his professionalism and pride in his work. He paid close attention to each guest, adjusted techniques as needed, and never rushed or brushed anyone off. His explanations were clear, detailed, and easy to understand, making even the most inexperienced fishers feel confident and capable. At no point did anyone feel overwhelmed or out of place. In fact, he had an incredible way of making beginners feel like world-class fishermen, patiently guiding them, offering tips, and celebrating every catch like it was a trophy. That level of encouragement made the experience not just successful, but genuinely fun. Beyond his technical knowledge, Captain Luis was an absolute pleasure to be around. He was personable, upbeat, and had a great sense of humor that kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable. He shared insights about the area, the fish, and the process in a way that was engaging and never boring. It felt less like a transaction and more like spending the day fishing with a knowledgeable friend who just happens to be exceptional at what he does. The boat was well-maintained, organized, and comfortable, which only added to the overall experience. Everything felt safe, smooth, and thoughtfully run. You could tell a lot of care goes into this operation, from the gear to the guidance to the way guests are treated. He filleted the fish when we got back to the dock and let us know how to get it home as well as giving us recommendations on where we could have it prepared fresh if we wanted! If you’re looking for a fishing charter where you’ll feel relaxed, supported, entertained, and successful, this is absolutely the one to book. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or someone holding a rod for the first time, you’ll walk away with great memories, new confidence, and likely a few fish stories worth telling. This captain goes above and beyond, and it shows in every aspect of the trip. Without a doubt, this charter deserves top ratings and repeat customers—I know I’ll be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2 Hour Afternoon Offshore on December 31, 20252 adults2 children
A super fun 2 hours with Luis and Wicked Cuda. Family of four with 9 and 11 year old boys who love to fish (but their parents don't) had such a fun time and caught a number of barracuda and they were so excited. We will definitely do this again when back in Ft. Lauderdale in a few years!

Epic Fishing Trip!!!
4 Hour Offshore Trip (PM) on May 24, 20252 adults1 child
My kids and I booked this trip for my son's 11th birthday. Captain Luis was great. He gave us a call the morning of and told us how to get to his slip on the dock and where to park. He asked what kind of fish we were looking to catch. My daughter want to catch a ahark and my sun a mahi. We loaded up and set out and were fishing in no time. No long boat ride like some other charters I have been on. As soon as we were on the spot, Captain Luis got us setup and we were catching fish immediately! We had tons of live bait and fesh cut bait. Productive day on the water, we ended the day with 3 black fin tuna, 2 bonita, 2 king fish, 2 Vermillion snapper, 2 trigger, 1 Mahi, 2 sand sharks, and 1 strawberry grouper. We also had a hammerhead swimming around the boat it was amazing! My kids absolutely love it. This will be a new tradition for me and my kids and I know exactly where to come back to Wicked Cuda with Captain Luis!!!
