Sailing out of Port Everglades In Fort Lauderdale for over a decade YB Normal is ready to take clients out for a great day of fishing. Captain Vinnie offers a range of trips, with four to 8-hour packages and the choice of coming as a group or jumping aboard a shared charter. With this many options, there is no excuse not to go fishing!

The YB Normal is a 43’ Torres sportfishing boat which has seen regular maintenance since the day she was built and makes for the perfect place for groups of 6 anglers to enjoy a great day’s fishing. She has a comfortable, air-conditioned interior with a bathroom, galley, and plenty of space to relax in between bites.

She is also loaded with a literal boatload of equipment and tech to make sure you get some great catches. The latest electronics from Garmin and Furuno will sound out the deep and have you always fishing in the right spot. Outriggers and downriggers will maximize your spread and target species, and a fighting chair will let you hold your own against whatever you hook.

What you target will depend on the trip you choose. Half day charters will mainly drift and bottom fish around local reefs, targeting bottom species as well as a few fast-moving fish like King Mackerel and Bonito. Full and ¾ days can have you targeting anything from Tilefish to Sailfish, depending on what you want to get out of your trip.

Want to beat the heat and get some awesome catches while you do so? Book in for a nighttime Snapper charter, anchoring over local reefs as the sun goes down to target big Yellowtail, Mangrove, and Mutton Snapper which come out after dark.

Whatever you do, you are in for a great time, with an experienced captain, quality equipment, and a whole ocean of awesome fish just waiting for someone to drop a hook in front of them. It might as well be you, right?

Wonderful fishing experience!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on April 3, 20263 adults3 children
My son and I met up with my high school friend with his 2 sons and his dad. We all had an amazing time. Captain treated us to some Kite fishing as the water was extremely rough. Even with the rough seas he put us onto some sail fish and feisty barracudas. Our goal was to get a mahi for dinner and guess what, a solid one as big as the cooler hit the lines. We left this trip fully satisfied and will certainly book this again with hopefully better water condition. I would love to jig for snapper next time! Do not pass up this experience!

Great fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Private on December 30, 20253 adults
We had an absolutely amazing fishing experience on our 4-hour morning trip, especially considering that this isn’t even the best season for fishing — and we still managed to land two Sailfish! I went with my two kids, and the entire trip was perfect from start to finish. The captain and deckhand were outstanding — extremely professional, friendly, and great with the kids. They worked nonstop to make sure we had a fun, exciting, and successful day on the water. I can’t recommend this company enough. If you’re looking for a professional crew, great vibes, and a truly memorable family fishing trip, this is the one to book. We will definitely be coming back!

8 Hour Trip on April 4, 20266 adults
First time going on the ocean to fish and it was a welcoming experience! The captian and first mate were well prepared and although the water was rough, we still got to see a new style of fishing and bring some fish home. I look forward to booking with you again! Make sure you message to see how the waves are looking to help prepare if you have a long charter!

Great Day on the Water!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on February 14, 20261 adult1 child
We wanted bigger fish if possible so we started with trolling. We did catch a mahi-mahi but the action wasn’t there. That’s when we went fishing off the bottom and lightning struck! We caught quite a number of red snapper and trigger fish. 9 snapper and 7 trigger in all but we caught nearly double that considering those we tossed back (too small). We came to catch and Captain Vinny and Deckhand JT delivered!

4 Hour Trip – Private - 1:00 PM on February 11, 20266 adults
Captain Vinnie was very responsive leading up to the trip. He worked hard to put us on fish in Feb when the bite can be hit and miss. We brought home plenty of Tuna and they even recommended where we could gave it prepared for us that night. John, first mate, was very friendly and also very lnowledgeable. Overall, it was a great trip and would definitely go out with them again in later this year! Thanks, guys!
