Controlled Chaos Fishing Charters focuses on putting their clients on the best fishing and strives to make every charter a fun, memorable event for every guest. Captain James Fenn has been fishing the waters off South Florida for over 30 years and will put you on the fish. They offer everything from family fishing trips to corporate team building events.

The Controlled Chaos is a 35 ft Contender center console boat that can comfortably take up to six guests fishing. This boat is fully rigged for tournament fishing, and you will be able to make use of its outriggers, downriggers, large livewell, and top of the range electronics to see what it feels like to go sportfishing like a pro. Powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines, the boat can reach speeds of up to forty knots, taking you to the best fishing spots in no time at all - not that you will need to head out far, with big game pelagics found within a few short miles of the coast!

Captain James Fenn and his crew are experts in a wide variety of fishing techniques, ranging from kite fishing with light tackle and live bait for Sailfish to trolling for Mahi Mahi, Billfish, and Kingfish, as well as wrestling mighty sharks with heavy tackle and bottom fishing for delicious table fare. Captain James takes pride on tailoring every trip to make sure it is what his clients are after, talking through what you want to catch and how you want to catch it, and recommending how much bait and time you will need - although he is happy to head 20 miles out if that is what you want to do.

All Controlled Chaos Fishing Charters trips come inclusive of tackle, gas, ice, water, sodas, and snacks. Just bring yourself, suitable clothing, and a healthy appetite for a great day of fishing!

It was our first time dea sea fishing they were amazing. Made us feel safe and gave us some tips and pointers made us feel good about our experience. We caught a good amount of fish's and they fillet they them after we finished. We got motion sickness in the start however they helped us overcome it 👍. In all, the trip was a memorable one for our entire group, and we would definitely book again.

Had a great experience with these guys today. Very knowledgeable and know how to show a great time! Captain knew what he was doing and got us on some fish within our first drift.

Captain James and Julio were a pleasure to fish with. Could not ask for more, great weather, outstanding fishing, and good conversations. You name the species, we caught it - King Mackerel, Mahi, Bonita, Barracuda, etc. I am one worn out angler from all the fish we caught. Will be back for more!

We had an awesome 1/2 day fishing trip—exactly what me and the fam needed. We reeled in mahi, kingfish, and even landed a huge mutton snapper! Big thanks to the Captain James and crew for putting us on the fish and making the whole trip a blast. Great weather, good vibes, and plenty of action on the line.
