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.

    Captain Steve accomodating and knowledgeable

    4 Hour Trip on July 18, 2026 • 4 adults

    We fished out of Flamingo Marina in Everlglades National Park amd it did not disappoint. Even though our day was not the best ckndjtions for fishing Captain Steve asked us what we wanted to focus on and tried hia hardest to acheive it. in the end we had much success. We caught an array of sharks from Black Tip, Lemon and Bull. We caught Snook, Snapper, Catfish and large Tarpon on the line several times before losikg them unfortunately. Saw Dolphin, Manatee and Saltwater Crocodile during iur trip. Overall a great trip. Captain Steve was not one to watch the clock, but more about our experience. Definitely recommend.

    Great family fishing trip in the Everglades

    4 Hour Trip on January 1, 2026 • 4 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.

    Outstanding!

    6 Hour Trip on April 1, 2026 • 4 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!!

    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!

    Perfect day on the water

    4 Hour Trip on April 6, 2026 • 4 adults

    Our family had a great experience fishing with Steve! He was very knowledgeable about the Everglades and area wildlife and he ensured that we caught several different species of fish. Steve was very patient and thoughtful- teaching my kids and answering all their questions. We would highly recommend Tropical Tides!
