    An Unforgettable Day on the Water—The Best Charter Experience!

    Perfect for families, kids, and fir - 12:00 PM on September 15, 2026 • 3 adults

    ​We had an absolute blast on our 4-hour charter today! It was just the three of us (myself and my two teenage boys), and Captain Tom (or Tommy) and first mate Junior went above and beyond to make it a day we will never forget. ​From the moment we left the dock, the action started. On the way out, the boys caught two barracudas right off the bat! Captain Tom did a fantastic job putting us on the fish all day. Once we hit the bottom fishing spots, the boys had a ball reeling them in—at one point, my youngest even pulled up three fish at the same time on a single line! ​Junior was incredible with the boys, patiently showing them the ropes and keeping everyone involved. Then, on the way back in, we hit the jackpot. We caught two huge tuna (along with some smaller ones) and several other miscellaneous fish. My oldest son is a huge fishing enthusiast and an even bigger fan of sushi, so reeling in those massive tuna was a dream come true for him—especially since they are the biggest fish either of them has ever caught in their lives! ​To top it all off, Junior expertly filleted the tuna so we could take it home with us. Between the gorgeous weather, the non-stop action, and an incredible crew, this was a 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you, Captain Tom and Junior, for giving my boys memories that will last a lifetime!

    Great 5 star day

    Three Hour Sportfishing on November 26, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Took my 12 year old grandson on a charter with Killin' Time on the day before Thankksgiving. My grandson, who is a fishing fanatic, said "this was my best day fishing ever." It was a beautiful boat, Captain Tom and his first mate Junior were very friendly and hospitable. They were so nice to my grandson and took the time to teach him a few fishing techniques. Tom and Junior know their stuff. The highlight of the trip was my grandson reeling in a 5 foot sailfish.  My grandson was so proud when Junior raised the sailfish flag on the boat. We lost count of the number of fish my grandson caught. After  docking, Junior cleaned the keepers, we took the fish to a local restrauant where they cooked them up for us, doesn't get any fresher than that.   I would highly recommend a fishing excursion on Killin' Time. I will  with Captain Tom and Junior

    Fantastic Trip w/a Great Crew

    Half Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on August 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Cannot say enough great things about the crew, the boat, and the time our family spent together! From start to finish the trip was memorable - we caught some beautiful fish and enjoyed then open water. Would recommend this boat and crew to everyone! The crew was fantastic with our kids, was very knowledgeable about the fishing area and their equipment, and they went above and beyond to ensure our trip was the best! 10/10!!

    Great charter and crew

    Half Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on January 5, 2026 • 6 adults

    Tommy, Junior, and Hunter hustled to get my friends and I on some fish during the slow season. We arrived early, Tommy and his crew had the boat ready, and we passed under the bridge before 7am. We trolled for 3 and a half hours and the ocean gifted us a nice keeper Balck Fin Tuna. Tommy had his crew break out their Tanacom electric reel and we deep dropped for the last thirty minutes. We beat up on some keeper trigger fish and called it for the day. This was a great trip and I wouldnt hesitate to go again.

    Wahoo Finish on a Picture-Perfect Day!

    Half Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on November 24, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had an incredible day out on the Killin Time charter. The weather was perfect, the seas calm, and Captain Tom and mate Junior made the entire experience top-notch. When the morning bite slowed down, they shifted gears and put us on some solid bottom fish to start filling the box. Later, we went back to trolling — and my son capped off the trip by landing a beautiful wahoo to end the day! Highly recommend this charter. Professional, upbeat crew and a fantastic experience from start to finish.

    Great Trip

    3/4 Day Trip on June 10, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Great boat. Great crew. No sail fish, but hooked up on 3 mahi though they jumped so high they spit the hooks. Nearly caught our limit on tuna. We had a bonus highlight when we got to do a little extra fishing when they were cleaning the fish at boat launch. Would do again but would make family all take motion sickness pills first.

    "The Sea was angry that day, my friends..Like an old man returning soup at the deli."

    Full Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on April 3, 2026 • 3 adults

    Ok, so George Costanza said that, not me, but it was true on our fishing day! It was a rough day due to some wind and waves but we still had success fishing, and that's what we hoped for! Tommy, Junior, and Hunter all worked hard to give us the best trip possible. We caught Mahi, Wahoo, and Black Fin Tuna and ended up with about 20 pounds of fillets in our freezer. I'd recommend "Killin' Time" to anyone looking for a good charter! Thanks again Tom!

    Best fishing trip I’ve ever had

    Half Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on August 30, 2026 • 3 adults

    I have been on countless fishing trips with numerous different charter boats and Killin’ Time was by far the best. Crew were phenominal and such nice people. They had great knowledge of the water and provided an outstanding trip. We caught lots of fish and had a great time.

    September is a great transition month for us here in Pompano Beach! The first week of September can often start out a little slower, but as we move further into the month, we start seeing better opportunities for larger Mahi-Mahi. September also gives us a great opportunity to TARGET Wahoo, with a much better bite typically around the moon phase. We love targeting Wahoo this time of year. September also provides a good opportunity to TARGET Blackfin Tuna, often with a better bite in the late afternoons. As the season starts to change up north and the weather gets cooler, it starts pushing more bait and fish our way, giving us opportunities for a mixed bag. Whether you are an experienced angler or fishing with the family, we have the opportunity to target a variety of species. Come join us for your next great adventure aboard Killin Time. Our beautiful 53' Hatteras is a great platform with an air-conditioned cabin, seating out of the sun on the bridge, and a huge cockpit for fishing. *Target Species in September:* Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, Bonito
