Captain Branden was very accommodating and has a sense of where the fish are. The boat was supreme, magnificent. We caught mahi-mahi and hooked one barracuda. We would recommend this for all ages. Anyone would have a great time with Branden. Wish we could gave booked a morning slot because the afternoon slot got us home pretty late but we had a grest time. we have never been on a boat this nice. It is brand new and Branden was very good at explaining the navigation on the beautiful screens in the center console. He also explained very well all of the safety protocols.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! Glad you guys had a great time out there with us and got to put some mahi in the boat 🎣🌊 We really appreciate the kind words about the vessel and the experience overall. Capt. Branden takes a lot of pride in keeping the boat comfortable, safe, and dialed in for everyone onboard no matter the age or experience level. Afternoon trips can definitely run a little later depending on the bite, but we’re happy you guys made the most of it and enjoyed the ride. Next time we’ll have to get you on one of those morning runs 😎 Thanks again for choosing Scale House Charters and hope to have you back out with us soon!
You can tell right away he’s a true local who's been out on the water a million times. He had fish following the boat from the start. Even when bad weather hit, he navigated the storm like a pro and immediately adapted, taking us nearshore to hook us up with more fish and sharks so our day wasn't cut short. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the full experience. I'm already heading back out with him before the month is over. Don't hesitate to book him!
Brother, appreciate the love and the awesome review! Had a great time having you guys onboard. Nothing better than a solid day on the water with good people. 🎣🤙 Looking forward to running it back with you soon! Much love, brother! 🔥
Such an amazing time on the beautiful shimmering water. Catching and releasing grunt, hog fish, pin fish, snapper, yellow jacks and a couple of hammerhead sharks. A perfect first fishing experience for my 13 year old son catching his first ever fish. Branden is a first rate Captain - attentive, kind, personable. Did all the baiting and rod prep. Excellent local knowledge and a brilliant boat for exploring Key Biscayne. Branden extended our trip to indulge our passion for fishing. Absolutely brilliant with my son teaching him how to feel the bite, let line out, reel in. We loved every minute! Highly recommend Branden and Scale House Charters.
Thank you guys, I really appreciate that. Glad we were able to get Tom on his first fish and make it a great first experience — that’s what it’s all about. You guys were a great crew to have onboard. Thanks again for choosing Scale House Charters.
This was our first charter and Captain Branden was amazing. We decided to go after the Mahi on the recommendation that they had been biting recently, and he was most certainly correct. He took us around to several of his different spots with no luck, but he worked super hard for us to find the fish and once we were on top of them they were HITTING. He filleted our catch for us and gave us a recommendation about a spot to take it nearby where they would cook it, and it was phenomenal! He’s an awesome guy, and we will definitely be back next time we visit Miami!
Thank you guys, I really appreciate that 🙌 That’s how we do it — we don’t just sit and hope, we move, adjust, and stay on it until we find the fish. Some days you gotta work for them, but once we got on that mahi bite… it was game on 🎣🔥 Glad you got to experience the full run too — from the hunt to the fillet to getting it cooked fresh. That’s the kind of day people come to Miami for. You guys were great to fish with, and you’re always welcome back anytime. Next trip, we’ll go even bigger 😏
it was a very nice trip the weather was perfect but the wind and the currents was a bit strong. we enjoyed it the captain was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful we got we were aiming for so it was definitely worth it and well do it again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate you choosing Scale House and hope to have you back on board soon! 🎣🌊
