There's a fish with your name on it in South Florida and Tropical Tides Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Steve knows them forwards and back.
These waters are known for Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Bonefish, Tripletail, Cobia, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Black Drum, Goliath Grouper, Spotted Seatrout, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Your vessel for the day is a 23' Maverick bay boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Steve will provide rods and reels for you. Live bait and artificial lures.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Tropical Tides Fishing Charters!

Outstanding!
6 Hour Trip on April 1, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child
We couldn’t have asked for a better charter than Captain Steve! Fishing conditions were not ideal, nobody can control the weather. But Steve worked his butt off and was great with the kids. We caught some fish, explored the glades, saw a lot of crocodiles, a manatee, a large group of dolphins gave us an up close and personal show, and we caught 2 big a$$ sharks! The whole family LOVED our day with Captain Steve!!

Catching fish and two big sharks, as well as observing crocodiles, manatees, and dolphins, is always an incredible adventure! It’s experiences like these that create lasting family memories, and I'm so glad your whole family enjoyed the day.

Great time on the water
4 Hour Trip on March 27, 2026 • 4 adults
We had a great time fishing! We had a couple young kids with us and Steve went out of his way to accommodate everyone on board. The fishing was a bit slow at first, but Steve worked hard to get us onto fish. By the end of the trip we caught a range of fish, saw a bunch of wildlife, and got to try a number of fishing spots and styles. highly recommend!

Great family fishing trip in the Everglades
4 Hour Trip on January 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children
Our family fishing trip with Captain Steve was a great experience. He took care of the kids (9 & 12), put us on fish at multiple spots and gave us a great tour of the Everglades. Highly recommend. We combined some back-country fishing and bay fishing. He’s a very knowledgeable guide, determined to find fish and made sure everyone was comfortable.
