Had a great time with Marlin my Darlin!  Came out from New Mexico in hopes of giving my parents a “bucket list” experience out on the sea.  Captain JJ delivered that and then some. Afternoon charter, we started with several awesome Bonitas and then some good looking blackfin tuna.  Soon after, we reeled in a massive 64” Wahoo.  What an amazing experience pulling this beauty in, for all on the boat including first mate Landon who was awesome.  We were not done, Captain JJ and Landon set out heavier rigging and it was only a few minutes later hook was set on a monster!  A 30 minute reel in and we had caught an 8-foot Hammerhead Shark.  What a frikin experience.  So exciting and so much fun.  When in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, look up Marlin My Darlin and book.  There is no reason to look any further.

We did a morning trip with Captain Bob and Adam. There was massive deposits of seaweed all over the journey but Captain Bob navigated it perfectly to land us on quite a great day of success.

We caught some black fin tuna, a few snappers, and quite a few others. Overall we were very impressed with experience.  We’re 100% loyal to Marlin My Darlin

For us, this was an experience of a lifetime! Visiting our son in Ft. Lauderdale we had an empty morning in our schedule. After checking out the availability and reading some reviews, we decided to go with Marlin My Darling. From the minute we showed up, I knew we got this right! We were greeted by Kaylee our awesome First Mate and her Capt. Nick. They asked us what we wanted to fish for? We opted for Capt. & Crews choice, Show us a good time and if we catch some fish great.

It didn’t take long… 10 minutes in we catch a 40” mahi-mahi. That was just the beginning. We trolled, drifted, kite fished and bottom fished hoping for the big one, We were on fish the whole time, we caught (2) 40” Mahi’s, 8 yellowtail snappers, triggers, mackerel, lizard fish, a large moray eel and the last fish of the day was an absolute wall-hanger - massive 120” Hammerhead Shark😳. The fishing aside, nothing was more important than the experience we had with our FirstMate Kaylee and Capt. Nick. They worked so hard and the fishing Gods were blessing us. We fought the shark for about 90 minutes, taking turns,  it was seamless changing in and out of the fighting chair and then Capt. Nick came down from the crows nest got an official measurement and a tag into the shark and lots of pictures.

It’s always good when you go on these trips and catch fish, but that’s not guaranteed! what was is controllable is the people that take you out on the water and their commitment to showing the customer a great time. Kaylee educated us on everything that was happening with multiple lines in the water doing different things - we understood everything that was going on amidst the chaos. These two were just amazing!

We give them five stars across-the-board!  More importantly, we met two new friends. This will be one of our regular to do’s when we come down to visit! If you’re surfing the Internet looking for a charter - look no further,  this was an amazing experience. Thank you, Kaylee and Capt. Nick will see you again soon and thank you, Marlin My Darling for putting together such a great experience for us.

We booked Marlin my Darlin for a 5 hour afternoon fishing trip.  Meet up with the boat was super easy, even though they were not at their regular slip due to the Fort Lauderdale boat show.  As soon as we headed out, lines were in the water catching bait fish. We caught a golden amberjack over 50 inches, a great barracuda about the same size, and 2 skip jack.  Captain Nick knew exactly how to find the fish, and how to hook up. Also, his first mate Kaylee and second mate Landon were outstanding as well.  We have been on many fishing charters and would highly recommend this crew.  We would definitely book again as long as we could get the same Captain and crew. Thanks for a great day.

We had an amazing experience aboard the Marlin My Darlin fishing charter out of Fort Lauderdale! Captain Nick was outstanding at finding the best fishing spots to troll and really made the day exciting. Kay was incredible, she not only set the lines and gave clear, educational instructions, but also expertly brought in the fish after we reeled them in. Her knowledge and energy made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Both Nick and Kay were polite, professional, and made us feel completely welcome. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a top-tier fishing adventure!
