Gradyful Fishing Charters is based in Boca Raton, Florida. The charter is operated by Captain Shawn, who is often found guiding his friends and clients through the beautiful waters of South Florida. Each trip is a unique experience in a friendly atmosphere that will leave you with lifelong memories.

You will be fishing aboard a 33 Tiarra flybridge, which is powered by twin 315 HP Yanmar engines for more security and speed. She can comfortably take up to 6 anglers and is rigged with top-notch navigational electronics, such as a GPS, a fishfinder, and a VHF radio. The vessel is also equipped with outriggers, a live bait tank, an ice-box, and it features a top to provide you protection from the sun.

Each trip with Capt. Shawn can be customized to suit your needs and wishes. You can fish inshore, nearshore, the wrecks, reefs, offshore, or see what is biting in the freshwater of pompano beach . The captain is good at a wide range of fishing techniques, such as light and heavy tackle, drift fishing, jigging, popping, kite fishing, spinning, trolling, and bottom fishing.

On a day out you will get an opportunity to learn about the local species and where to find them. The captain is great with kids, as well as with anglers of all ages and experience. Whether it’s your first time on the water or you are an occasional fisherman or even a pro – each trip you choose will be an eventful and memorable experience.

Among your targeted species will be Yellowtail Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Sailfish, Wahoo, Yellowtail Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and many other saltwater species.

Your fishing trip with Capt. Shawn will include your rods, reels, tackle, live bait upon request, and lures. You will be offered soda and water, so feel free to bring your own snacks. The catch can be cleaned and filleted for you to take home after the trip.

Join Gradyful Fishing Charters and have the time of your life fishing the productive waters of Florida!

Patience then excitement

We took the 6hr charter and good thing we did. The first 4hrs we didn't catch anything and then all of a sudden we had 5 lines with fish. In the end we caught 14 fish to keep and had to throw back a few that were too small. Patience paid off. Would definitely recommend this charter!!

Captain Shawn is great. He really knows the area and the fishing. Crew was great and really helpful without being in the way or doing too much. You couldn't ask for a better day on a better boat.

We didn’t have much luck trolling looking for some big ones so instead the captain took us to a little reef area so the boys could catch some small ones. That made them happy enough.
