Perfect day on the Geno V!
Full Day Trip on March 13, 20252 adults1 child

Geno and Zane were both very accommodating to our group and we had a great day catching fish! The boat is the cleanest, most well kept that I’ve been on and it was much appreciated. Captain Geno put us on a group of kingfish right away and we almost caught our limit. We also brought home some mahi, so we had lots of delicious fish to eat for dinner and share with others. I’ll be back to fish with them again, hopefully next time out of the Bahamas! Thanks guys. Tight lines! 🤙🏻

Sailfish and Mahi
3/4 Day Trip on July 28, 20246 adults

We had a great birthday trip with family. The boat and crew are incredible. We had tons of space and a nice cabin with a/c when we needed a break from the sun. They are serious fisherman! We tried different baits trolling and caught keeper Mahi and a nice 4-5ft sailfish at the end of the trip. What a way to close the day! Thanks guys!

Geno 5 Sport Fishing Charters is a MOM and POP and SON family fishing charter operated by Captains Geno, Karen, and Zane. The company was established in 1961 by a husband & wife fishing team, (Grandparents) Fred and Mae Pratt. They moved to Boynton Beach, Florida in 1960 from Mishawaka, Indiana ito 'live the dream of fishing for a living'. Their 1st boat 'Little Geno' was a 28 ft Christ Craft, named after there, then 3-year-old son, 'Little Geno'. Years later, there was the Geno II, a 40' Chisovitch, The Geno III, a 44' Trojan, then, the luxury 48' Tom Fexas yacht. NOW, the beautiful 57' Geno 5, a Custom Carolina, Rigsby, affectionately known as the 'Cap-n-Squid' by all proud Carolinians. The family fishing tradition continues with Capt Zane, now in his late 20's taking over the 65 year old business rein. The Geno 5 is one of the longest running Charter boats in all of South Florida...IF NOT THE EASTERN SEABOARD (?) Who knows. A 63 year old family business is a long time to be in business. You will be fishing with certainly the most experienced AND ON THE CLEANEST, most comfortable, AIR CONDITIONED, Charter ANY WHERE! What OTHER Charter would gladly show off their ENGINE ROOM! We do! Besides fishing off S. Florida's beautiful Gold Coast, we offer our services in the summer months in the BAHAMAS. Come fish with us 1st class in the lap of luxury with the Pratt family!'
