    Captain Zach is about thise fish

    Half Day Trip (PM) on December 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    Zach was a tremendous guide and put us onto some huge tarpon, jacks, and barracuda right in Ft Lauderdale. While there may be complaints about us as fishermen, there can be no complaints about Zach’s knowledge, communication nor passion for guiding and fishing. I will try to book with Zach anytime I find myself in the Ft Lauderdale area.

    Great early morning

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    We started off early at 5 with hopes of some big tarpon and struggled for a bit but then found a few, missed a lot but Zach put us on fish, and kept us on them all morning, after the sun came up we moved on to other species where we continuously got broken off by barracudas but we caught a couple of them and some jacks i also caught a mutton, over great day

    Cpt Zak worked his butt off to find us fish. Not only did he do that but worked by my side for me to land a fish that dreams are made of. It was a 100 plus lb tarpon

    Best fishing day of my life!

    Full Day Trip – Biscayne Bay on April 20, 2024

    No Doubt CharterZ was an epic fishing experience - one you will not want to miss! Captain Zach Routman made this fishing trip an unforgettable experience. We launched out of Biscayne Bay and were jumping hundred pound tarpon within minutes while watching the beautiful sunrise before our day on the flats. Next, we got deep into schools of tarpon along the beach ranging from 40 to 200 lbs with massive sharks mixed in. For a second, I thought I was in Jurassic Park these fish were so big. As visibility improved, we got right on the flat where Captain Slip (his preferred alias) was spotting bonefish from hundreds of yards away while poling us down these pristine waters making it a breeze to cast shrimp to them. Pictured is a large bone fish we caught that almost got attacked by a lemon shark during the fight - - AMAZING ACTION! Overall, this was a day that will be remember for years to come and next time I am in South Florida I will be calling Mr. Zach to be my Captain for many fishing adventures to come. Five Stars, not only for the amazing fishing but also for the laughs and personal conversation which was never a dull moment thanks to this fishing legend!!

    Fishing with Zachary

    Half Day Trip (PM) on June 4, 2025 • 3 adults

    Fishing was a blast with No Doubt CharterZ! We caught a crazy variety of fish and he even put us onto a very large blacktip. We caught tuna and bonito before dark and then headed in and caught several Jack and snook! We also hooked up on some other fish like remora and tarpon! This was an incredible charter!

    One of my best inshore trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 7, 2024 • 2 adults

    Punchline: the trip greatly exceeded my expectation. Zach is a fantastic inshore guide with deep knowledge of the area and great professionalism. Despite that we were fishing on a summer day, we started catching 10 min into the trip. Zach’s charter also comes with top of the line gears (Shimano reels, g-loomis rods), which makes the experience even better. Overall great day on the water and I’d fish with Zach again when in town.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, I grew up on the water. I was fortunate enough to live on a canal and that is where my passion started, fishing in my backyard. From there I started expanding my territory on the family canoe until I got my first boat. Since then I have been fishing the canals and Intracoastal of Fort Lauderdale, Biscayne Bay in Miami, and even the Florida Keys for over 20 years. I've been lucky enough to experience firsthand the amazing fishery that South Florida has to offer and now my passion is to allow others to experience this same fishery and hopefully motivate them to help protect this precious resource.
