If you're ready to get hooked on fishing in North Miami, book a trip with Avenger charters. With Captain Cris at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Mahi Mahi, Mutton Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Bonito, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, and plenty more. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Cris also offers kite fishing.

Trips with Avenger charters are great for kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Your vessel for the day is a 30 foot center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. 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.

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. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    A Birthday Fishing Trip Done Right

    Half day (PM) on April 12, 2026 • 6 adults

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, Chris is your guy. He took me, my son, and three of my son’s friends out for a birthday trip and some of the boys had ever fished before. Chris couldn’t have handled it better. He was patient, engaging, and knew exactly how to teach them the basics without overwhelming them. Before long, they weren’t just fishing, they were fully into it. What really stood out was how prepared he was. No matter the situation, Chris always had a game plan, adjusting on the fly to make sure everyone stayed involved and excited. It felt effortless on our end, which you know only happens when someone truly knows their craft. To top it all off, he cleaned and filleted the fish we brought home and they turned out absolutely delicious. It was an awesome day, with awesome service, from an even better person. More than anything, Chris helped create a memory my son and his friends will carry with them for a lifetime. Highly recommend.

    Best Captain & Charter Experience Ever

    Half day (PM) on March 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Cris was top notch! We have booked charter trips on the east and east coasts of FL as well as other areas across the US. This was by far the best! Capt. Cris has easy access to the boat! Great size and super rigs. He was prepared with live bait onboard (not wasting our fishing time to catch our own bait or stopping at a marina to buy bait). The rods were rigged and ready for action. And he put us on the fish NON-Stop! We fished the bay and inlets and landed HUGE Jacks, barracuda, and even had a Jack on the line get eaten by a shark that we chased for 30 minutes. If you want a great family trip or a solo adventure Capt Cris is your man!

    Excellent charter fishing experience!

    Half day (PM) on December 20, 2025 • 3 adults

    This fishing trip was my last-minute decision and I booked for my teenager kids. It turned out to be the greatest fishing trip I have so far, given the charter boat experience I have in both coastal regions. Captain Cristobal is very experienced, Our trip started with a “warmup” catching those foot-long Jacks at the mouth of the harbor. You can tell how precisely he can cast each time. He is so friendly, courteous, humorous, knowledgeable, and yet professional. Fish, bigger and bigger for you to fight and catch, till the line eventually frays and breaks. Captain Cristobal proved us more bigger ones were just down there! We truly enjoyed every minute of our 4-hr trip. Nice stable boat without any old-school diesel exhaust smell. I highly recommend you to book with him.

    AMAZING Tuna Run!!!

    3/4 day on August 1, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    From the second we hit the water, it was nonstop action. We immediately found massive schools of tuna blowing up on the surface, and Chris put us right on them. He knew exactly where to go and had us hooked up with some awesome blackfin tuna. Great captain, great experience, and an unforgettable day out on the water. Highly recommend Chris if you’re looking for an incredible fishing trip!

    Good decision!

    Half Day (AM) on November 26, 2025 • 3 adults

    I chartered Captain Cris for an inshore trip. When we discussed meeting up the night before, he suggested we consider offshore as he had found a hot tuna bite. We decided to go with the captain’s recommendation and had a fantastic time! Captain Cris was knowledgeable, skilled and very personable. It was an excellent trip, as we caught bonito, blackfin tuna and mahi-mahi. All were fish to check off my list as I had not caught any of those before. I’ll hire Capt. Cris next tome I’m in Miami Beach!

    Special 6 hour trip for Jackson Head on May 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Chris was great. We had difficult weather conditions but that did not stop us. We were on fish all afternoon and evening. We got some huge Jacks, a sailfish, tuna, and multiple tarpon. Trip of a lifetime. We will definitely book again with Captain Chris when we are back in Miami.

    GREAT TIME

    1/4 day fishing charter (AM) on April 12, 2026 • 1 adult

    Really enjoyed myself! Captain Chris is very skilled, knowledgable, and passionate about fishing. He carefully and throughly explains everything he is doing, and why he’s doing it just like any good professional. He has really good people skills too, just an average genuine guy, nothing sketchy or awkward about him. You can tell he works hard to make these trips safe and fun and I DEFINITELY have to bring my family with me next time.

    Best charter ever!

    3/4 day on March 11, 2026 • 4 adults

    I have been fishing all of my life. I’ve done lots of charters in my lifetime and lots of deepsea fishing “party boats”. This was by far the best charter I have been on. Captain Cris was absolutely wonderful and made it very easy for all of us. He was so nice and knew where to catch the fish! If you’re out of town and are looking for a good and easy charter, choose Captain Cris!
