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.

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.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Island Time Charters!

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.

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.

Lots of action

Half Day Trip on December 20, 2025 • 2 adults

Fantastic half-day trip with lots of action in the water. Caught lots of yellow tail snapper and rainbow runners, a mackerel and a few other colorful / interesting species (that we had to throw back due to restrictions but were still fun to catch). Jesus was a knowledgeable, attentive and friendly captain who made sure we got the most from our trip. He also did a great job filleting the fish that we kept.

Absolutely amazing!!!!!

3/4 Day Trip on December 25, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

This was my kids first time deep sea fishing. I was worried as to me deep sea fishing is slow and boring. There was never a dull moment on Jesus’s boat! We were pulling fish in left and right! Jesus was the most patient and accommodating captain. We went home with a cooler FULL of fish!! Would highly recommend and will definitely go back out with Jesus!!

Captain Jesus will put you on the fish!

Half Day Trip on December 26, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

Captain Jesus and his mate Miguel provided a great fishing experience for my daughter and me. They were knowledgable and helpful and got us into a variety of different fish using different fishing techniques. This was an excellent charter. We will definitely book again and would highly recommend using Island Time Charters!
