Get on the fish fast in Miami's most productive waters.
Step aboard and chase mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, snapper, grouper, and more in some of South Florida's most productive waters. Captain Branden focuses on staying on the bite and keeping rods bent — whether we're offshore, reef fishing, or switching it up based on conditions.
You'll be fishing on a 2024 Sportsman 252 Center Console — smooth ride, spacious layout, top-tier electronics, onboard restroom, and a night camera system for after-dark action.
Everything you need is included:
• Rods, reels & tackle
• Standard bait
• Ice & bottled water
• Fishing license
Just bring snacks & drinks (no glass).
Most guests upgrade to 6 hours for better chances at mahi, tuna & bigger fish.
Live bait is available ($60) and highly recommended for more action. Must be requested 24 hours in advance.
Family-friendly, beginner-friendly, and dialed in for experienced anglers too.
Spots fill fast — lock in your date and let's get you on the fish.

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.
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!
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 😏
Capt. Branden was absolutely amazing!!! He was attentive and communicative, all the way from booking to the day of. He answered all questions we had and was super patient with my whole family, ad this was our first experience. I love his passion for what he does, you can tell he absolutely loves it!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an awesome review! It truly means a lot. You guys were an absolute pleasure to have onboard, and I'm glad I could help make your family's first fishing trip a memorable one. I hope you enjoy the fresh catch just as much as you enjoyed the day on the water! Looking forward to having you all back for another adventure. Tight lines until next time! 🎣
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!
Appreciate you big time for that awesome review! 🙏🎣 Nothing makes us happier than seeing our guests smiling, catching fish, and taking home fresh fillets to enjoy. You already know — we’ll always move spots, chase the action, and make sure you leave with memories that hit deep. Can’t wait to have you guys back on the water for round two! --- Vielen Dank für eure großartige Bewertung! 🙏🎣 Es freut uns riesig zu sehen, wie unsere Gäste Spaß haben, Fische fangen und frische Filets mit nach Hause nehmen. Ihr wisst ja — wir wechseln immer den Spot, jagen den besten Fang und sorgen dafür, dass ihr unvergessliche Erinnerungen mitnehmt. Können es kaum erwarten, euch bald wieder auf dem Wasser zu haben!
