Your Fishing Charter

Surf the seas in style with Ringmaster Charters. With the Gulf Stream gushing past Pompano Beach, you’ll have access to a range of delicious and big game fish, giving you a day to remember on the water. Captain John Caselli is a third-generation captain, having fished professionally since 14. He’s fished all over the US and Caribbean, but has settled in Hillsboro Inlet since age 20, and promises to share his knowledge and skills with each customer.

Prepare to be treated in luxury aboard the 53’ Hatteras convertible. Fitted with 3 air conditioners, ample seating inside and outside, and a fridge and ice box, you’re guaranteed the full treatment aboard. Catering can be arranged but feel free to bring your own food and use the kitchen at your leisure. Powered by twin 650 HP Diesel engines, you’ll speed off to the sweetest fishing spots, preparing to meet huge, powerful fish.

The fishing here is close to shore, so don’t expect a long ride. In fact, we are the closest to deep water anywhere in the continental United States. Here you can expect to catch dolphin, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, barracuda, and amberjack to name a few. We do some bottom fishing but because of our sharp drop off don’t expect it to be like the keys or the west coast. We enjoy kite fishing when the conditions are favorable. Trolling is our most commonly used method.

You’re in for a big struggle, whichever you hook, and the first mate will be by your side to give you any assistance you need. Your rewards will be great at the end of the day when the crew cleans and prepares your catch for you to take home and cook. Some fish, such as Shark and Sailfish, will have to be released according to law and also because we like to set high standards to show other operations that healthy releases are the way we can keep our fishery healthy.

Novices and experts alike will love a trip with Ringmaster Charters, so come aboard and see the sea in style!

Ringmaster Charters

ringmaster-charters

Stay nearshore and hit the magnificent fish the Atlantic has to offer. You'll hit the sweet spots in no time aboard a comfortable convertible. Use a range of trolling and live bait fishing to try to attract the bite of exceptional species such as Wahoo, Sailfish, Barracuda, Amberjack, and more.  When the fish are biting sometimes this is the only trip you will need to have a great day. Live bait is extra, or we can take the time to catch some .

Half Day (Casual 8am start)

Stay nearshore and hit the magnificent fish the Atlantic has to offer. You'll hit the sweet spots in no time aboard a comfortable convertible. Use a range of trolling and live bait fishing to try to attract the bite of exceptional species such as Sailfish, Wahoo, Kingfish, Barracuda, Amberjack, and more. When the fish is biting, this is the only trip you need to have a great day. Live bait is extra or we can take the time to catch it.

Half Day Trip (PM)

During the dog days of summer the sunset bite can be phenomenal!! We only offer this trip a few months out of the year.  Not only can this trip be productive, but also stunningly beautiful watching the sunset over the south Florida coastline. We will target Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Shark, Kingfish, Mahi and more!

Sunset Special

This 5 hour trip gives us a little more time and range to target Wahoo, Mahi, and Sailfish up the coast. Very similar to our 4 hour but we can go a little further up the ledge or offshore.

5 Hour Wahoo Special

On this 6-hour trip, you'll get to mix up your fishing styles. Spend 4 hours trolling, and 2 hours live baiting. You'll have the ability to head further offshore than on a half-day trip, especially when dolphins are around, adding a sightseeing element to the fishing trip. Go after big game fish like Sailfish, Dolphin, Wahoo, and Tuna, among others. You'll get to take home the most delicious for a well-deserved treat. Live bait is extra, or we can take the time to catch it .

3/4 Day Trip

Afternoon 6hr special. 12pm departure. Sleep in and spend the afternoon on the hunt for wahoo, tuna, sailfish, kingfish, and more. Believe it or not, sometimes the afternoon bite is better than the morning. You dont always have to be up at the crack of dawn to catch the fish of your dreams.. give it a shot. You wont be disapointed ?

Afternoon Delight

Big fish only!! We will be targeting trophy fish on this trip. Sharks, Sailfish, Amberjack, Wahoo, Tuna, and Mahi. LIVE BAIT WILL BE INCLUDED on this trip (thats why it costs a little more than our regular 6hr). Our techniques will vary depending on the conditions or time of year. But we will be looking for the fish of a lifetime for you and your guests aboard our 53’ luxurious Hatteras.

Big Fish Trophy Hunt

This is a special trip where we will pull out the big guns and high speed troll for trophy Wahoo off the ledge. Or possibly head offshore for Mahi (condition specific). The extra cost associated with this trip is to pay for the extra fuel we will burn doing this. Sometimes you just have to pay to play. Feel free to message me if you have any questions

Wahoo & Mahi Madness

For those who want to experience all that this charter has to offer. This trip gives you the ultimate freedom to do as much as you can in one day. You'll go after a range of big game fish, and the longer spent on the water, the better your chance of reeling one in there is. It also gives you the ability to troll, live bait, and possibly bottom fish all in the same trip. Live bait is included on this trip.

Full Day Trip

There are a lot of fun local tournaments here that you can either fish by yourself or as a corporation . Most tournament trips have to be customized a little bit depending on travel time, weigh-in schedule, and other accommodations, such as additional live bait.  These tournaments can be a lot of fun, including prizes, awards ceremonies dinners and drinks, trophies, and all in all competition and camaraderie.

9 Hour Trip – Tournament

This trip gives us time to travel where we need to in order to find the fish. We will focus on kite fishing to get you that sailfish youve always wanted.. we will also be targeting other species  like wahoo, mahi, and tuna aling the way. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. Thanks

10 Hour Sailfish Special

This is a seasonal trip that includes a very full day of fishing, including possible swordfish dropping during the day. The remainder of the day will be spent either offshore trolling for dolphin and billfish or possibly some Inshore live baiting depending on the season. This is the big trip to bring all the food and spend the whole day on the water. Certain times of the year of are better than others and fishing techniques change accordingly, so please feel free to talk to me about it.
