Super Erlebnis, super Captain

4 Hour Trip – Miami Fishing on October 27, 2025 • 2 adults

Der Trip mit Captain Branden war ein wirklich tolles und unvergessliches Erlebnis. Man spührt, dass ihm das Wohl und der Spass der Gäste enorm am Herzen liegt. Das Boot ist sehr neu und sehr schön. Die Ausrüstung ist in einem super Zustand. Da zuerst keine Fische beissen wollten, sind wir an einen anderen Spot gefahren und haben dort viele Fische gefangen🥳. Es hat einfach unglaublich Spass gemacht. Am Ende wurden die Fische auch noch filitiert um sie Zuhause zubereiten zu können. Wir würden den Trip (Morgenfischen 4 Stunden) sicher wieder machen und können einen Trip mit Captain Branden absolut weitetempfehlen!

Highly Recommended Experience

4 Hour Trip – Miami Fishing on February 3, 2026 • 2 adults

Excellent fishing experience with Captain Brandon in Miami. The trip was scheduled for 4 hours, and he kindly extended it, which we truly appreciated. We had a great time from start to finish. Brandon did everything possible to make sure we could fish, enjoy ourselves, and have an amazing experience. He was always attentive, professional, and very friendly. Highly recommended. I would definitely book with him again.

Man, we appreciate that big time! Y’all showed up ready to fish and that’s all I need. When the vibes are right and the lines are tight, sometimes four hours just ain’t enough — had to run it a little longer so we could finish strong. That’s what we do over here. We’re not just clocking time, we’re making sure you leave with a real experience. From the first cast to the last run, it’s all about keeping it professional, keeping it fun, and keeping rods bent. Miami fishing done the right way. Hope to have you back out soon — next time we level it up even more 🔥🎣

Perfect Outing

4 Hour Trip – Miami Fishing - 12:00 PM on January 8, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

My two kids (10 year old son, 8 year old daughter), wife and I had a fabulous time with Branden on his modern fishing boat. We were all very comfortable as we went out for a combination of deep sea and inshore fishing. Branden knew where all the hotspots were. Branden was great with our kids helping them bait their lines and helping them reel in catches. My wife and I got in on the action after seeing how much fun our kids were having! Branden is first class all the way and will be out on the water with him again soon!

Appreciate you and the whole crew big time 🙌 Getting families on the water and seeing the kids light up is what it’s all about. Loved watching everyone get comfortable and enjoy the experience together. Y’all brought great energy, and it made for a really fun day out there. Anytime you’re ready to run it back, the boat’s ready. Much love and respect.

Too windy not one keeper.

6 Hour Trip – Miami Fishing on January 21, 2026 • 2 adults

We had a windy day, so we couldn't go out on the open ocean. The captain tried, but we did not have luck. We caught some little fish. The only surprise for us was that in the end, he charged us an extra $60 fee for live bait. This was not disclosed, and the website stated that lures are included. I went to many fishing charters, but I never heard of charging customers for live bait. We had a few bad experiences in Miami that week with people who were trying to take advantage of tourists. I consider this as one of them.

Response from Captain

Windy conditions kept us from running offshore — that was communicated and is always a safety call. Fishing is never guaranteed, especially when weather limits where we can go. This trip was booked through FishingBooker, not my website. On both FishingBooker and my site, live bait is clearly listed as an optional add-on, not included. Every guest is offered the option, and it’s their choice. There was no surprise charge. I run a straightforward, honest Miami charter. Weather happens, options are disclosed, and no one is taken advantage of here. Scale House keeps it real.
