Make the most of your time in Fort Lauderdale and go fishing with One Step Ahead Fishing. With Captain Ralph at the helm, you'll have a safe, exciting, knowledgeable experience.

Sailfish, Wahoo, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Blackfin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Swordfish, Snowy Grouper, Tilefish, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. On these trips we primarily live bait fish using techniques such as kite fishing or slow trolling. We specialize in light tackle fishing.

Capt. Ralph operates a 61' Viking Convertible with a full tower, room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's an air conditioned cabin with a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle and live bait is included.

We operate with 2 Mates on all our trips to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray). There will be beverages onboard but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks included on board.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with One Step Ahead Fishing!
