Ready to cast a line in Miami Beach? Island Time Charters is here to make it happen! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jesus knows them forwards and back.

Depending on the conditions, you might hook into Amberjack, Barracuda, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, Hogfish, African Pompano Jack, Kingfish, and plenty more. During the trip, you might be spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned.

You'll step aboard a 31' Center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself. We always recommend buying atleast $60 of live bait

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It's recommended to bring snacks, sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Drinks and ice will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Five Stars for Captain Jesus! Unforgettable 6-Hour Charter

3/4 Day Trip on November 21, 2025 • 4 adults

We just finished the most incredible 6-hour fishing charter with Captain Jesus, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you're looking for a successful and fun day on the water, look no further! Captain Jesus is not only a seasoned pro but also genuinely friendly and incredibly helpful. He made sure everyone on board felt comfortable, whether they were experienced anglers or first-timers. He was patient in explaining techniques and always ready to lend a hand with bait, lines, and netting. Most importantly, Captain Jesus knows the water! He absolutely put us on the fish. We spent the full six hours constantly reeling in the action, thanks to his knowledge of the best local spots. It was exactly what we hoped for in a charter—non-stop fun and a great haul to show for it.

Great day!

3/4 Day Trip on April 3, 2026 • 3 adults

Windy conditions so fished in the day with my 17yr old son. Caught 20+ fish for the day, great given the conditions. Jesus was a great Captain, patient and tended to everything. Boat was plenty big enough, powerful so we didnt waste time getting to locations, and super clean. Will be back to fish open water with Jesus in the future!

Holy Mackerel!!

3/4 day on March 13, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Wow! What an amazing day we had with Jesus! We hit several of his fishing spots and we were not disappointed. We caught many species but the yellowtail was really biting. Almost hit our limit on the yellowtail. Then a surprise we landed a massive KING MACKEREL! Unbelievable ending to our charter. And I can’t say enough about Jesus. He is one of the hardest working captains out there. Thank you again Jesus for helping us make some amazing memories ❤️

Great first experience

Half Day Trip on December 23, 2025 • 3 adults

Captain Jesus was fantastic. He knows the area extremely well and clearly understands what he’s doing, which made us feel safe the entire time. We went out on a windy day with roughly three‑foot waves, and he suggested heading offshore but assured us that if we felt uncomfortable at any point, we could switch to the bay instead. He came fully prepared with plenty of bait, including live bait, and the boat itself was really nice. Overall, a great experience.
