Looking for a fantastic fishing trip, beach day, or both? You’ve come to the right place! Quick Hook Charters’ passion is to provide the best fishing trip and beach day you can ask for!

The professional captain and his crew will ensure you have an excellent time. You can decide between trolling for Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, or Tuna, jigging for some Snapper or Grouper, casting for Mackerel, Jacks, Bonito, and several other species, or you can use live bait (seasonal) for fishing Roosterfish, Jacks, Snapper or Grouper. The captain will advise what will work better.

You’ll be fishing from a 33’ Donzi center console powered by twin 300 HP Mercury Verado outboards. This boat is at the top of our fleet, and it’s a 2005 hull that was fully restored and repowered in 2020, fully equipped with all the safety gear, VHF Radio, lights, bilge pumps, and wash-down system. You can set your favorite playlist with their Infinity Bluetooth sound system while you head out to the fishing spots. The boat also features several dry storages and a cabin to keep your bags safe.

Everyone can come fishing with Quick Hook Charters, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or a professional angler. For a relaxing beach day combined with fishing, we can take you to a lovely white sand beach on a beautiful island, buy or grill your food, and enjoy an ice-cold beer. Mix this with the fishing trip to taste both on the same day! The charter will provide all the fishing rods, reels, lures, and gear you need for the day.

The boat will have two big coolers full of ice and drinking water. Just pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a long sleeve, and some snacks, and you are good to go! We help you clean your catch.
