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?

6 Hour Trip (AM)
We had a great time fishing as this was actually our best fishing trip we have ever had and it was with with YB Normal! We caught a variety of fish including King Mackerel, Bonita, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and amazingly so a Sailfish! This was an unforgettable experience as the Captain navigated and the deckhand ensured we landed our fish in the icebox, also the Captain filleted our fish at the end. We will definitely book with YB Normal on future fishing trips as he is very experienced and knowledgeable. Shout out @YB Normal for a memorable family trip!!

4 Hour Trip – Private (AM)
Vinny did great job trolling some fish up for us . It was little windy to setup A bottom fish . Him and John the mate hooked up some shirts for sail and king but no action so put on spoon . Got in to few Bonitas with tuna Barb and I couldn’t wait to eat the fish . Took fish right to room we eat fresh Tuna pick some soy sauce from restaurant down stairs we eat whole fillet that night. There was few fish so we could give my daughter half and take back to Ohio other half we got about 5 lbs. Have to say black fin is best eat Tuna .Thanks again Vinny and John we had great trip !!!

We had a great day fishing with the boat YB Normal out of Dania Beach, Florida! We were staying at the Margaritaville Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida so Dania Beach was very close! The boat was very spacious and clean and the captain and mate were so helpful and we caught a lot of fish! It was so much fun! We highly recommend YB Normal! 🐠

We had a blast. The captain and mate were top class anglers, and very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend. We caught several Mahi Mahi and went to the local restaurant recommended by the Captain and it was delicious! Next time we make it down to South Florida will definitely do it again. They made sure to adjust accordingly to ensure we found and caught some fish which was highly appreciated. Just a top notch experience all the way around. Do not hesitate to book with Vinnie!

I booked 3 weeks in advance, messaged Captain Vinny and told him what we wanted to do. He was very truthful in his response, it had been slow but he was eager to see fishing pick up in the coming weeks. I followed his Instagram to check in on the action and everything was progressively getting better day by day. Went out today and absolutely hammered mahi mahi. Vinny put us right on the fish Nick and made sure everything on deck was in order.
