Captain Donovan Tate has over a decade of bowfishing experience and is known for giving his customers the experience of a lifetime. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome aboard, so gather your friends and family for a night out in Miami, Florida!

Arrow Assault Bowfishing is the only licensed and insured fishing charter in the Miami area that offers bowfishing charters fully equipped for bowfishing. This is their specialty and Capt. Donovan is a sponsored bowfishing professional.

You will fish aboard a 25’ Shallow Sport tri-hull outfitted with LED lights for nighttime bowfishing. She comes equipped with GPS/fishfinder, wireless trolling motor, seating for 6, icebox for your catch, and a cooler full of sodas/water. No alcohol allowed onboard.

The starting time is flexible, but you are likely to meet the captain around sunset. He will give you a quick safety briefing and teach you how to operate a bow. Capt. Donovan is a trained archery technician so you‘ll be in good hands.

While bowfishing these skinny waters, you will target a variety of non-game species such as Southern Stingray, Barracuda, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, and Striped Mullet. Capt. Donovan ensures that all fish are harvested within FWC regulations. All these fish are delicious, and the captain will gladly clean and fillet any that you would like to take home.

Your charter includes a saltwater fishing license, bowfishing equipment, sodas/water, and fish cleaning.

You will receive a call the day before your trip to confirm your launching location. Trips usually start in Homestead at Black Point Park Marina. However, in case of bad weather, the captain may recommend last minute changes. Come aboard and see what bowfishing is all about!

Member since August 2016
I grew up in Oklahoma hunting and fishing. I love the outdoors and spend a lot of my free time with my family on the water. I'm an avid bowhunter and was introduced to bowfishing over 15 years ago and fell in love. I've competed in state archery competitions when I lived in Virginia and bowfishing tournaments before I moved to Florida in 2016. You can find me at Bass Pro Shops conducting hunting and archery seminars as well as bowfishing seminars throughout the year during promotional events. I am sponsored by various companies in the outdoor industry and am well connected in the bowfishing world. I'm an retired combat veteran and Army soldier of 20 years. I love taking out new people on the boat and sharing my passion for bowfishing. A lot of my customers say that my charter was the best thing they did in Miami while on vacation or business here.
