If you’re going to cast a line in Dania Beach, look no further than Type 1 Sportfishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Pete is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Bonito, Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Mutton Snapper, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You’ll step aboard a 35’ Contender center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.
Capt. Pete has rods and reels for you. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15-20% tip is customary.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t forget to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Type 1 Sportfishing!

Full Day Trip - Reef/Offshore on August 10, 2024

We have had a great day. The boat is an incredible offshore machine ! The captain never give up, and we have been searching the fishes all around, until we found them. Thank you for this very nice trip, the whole family enjoyed the day. I really recomend fishing with Pedro.

Capt. Pedro runs trips out of Dania Beach aboard a 35’ Contender. These waters are known for Groupers and Mahi Mahi and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
