Had a group of 5 including 2 dads and 3 kids (ages 14, 14, and 13). Mix of girls and boys. First time deep sea fishing in Florida. Caught Max number of blackfin tuna within the first few hours of the trip. Did a variety of live and artificial bait. Captain and first mate afe incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, not to mention easy to talk to for an 8 hour adventure. Absolutely recommend and will be contacting Captain John in the future when we are in the area again!

I booked a 6-hour trip with Captain Harold and First Mate John, and it was an absolute highlight for me and my daughters.

Captain Harold went out of his way to make sure my girls had a memorable day on the water. He was patient, professional, and clearly cared about making the experience special for them.

John was top-notch — helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. He guided my daughters through every step, cheered them on, and made sure they had the best chance to reel in fish. His attitude and energy set the tone for the whole trip.

We caught plenty of fish, but what mattered most was how much fun my daughters had. Watching them light up with every catch is something I’ll never forget.

If you’re looking for a charter that delivers not only fish but unforgettable memories for your family, Happy Snapper Sportfishing is it. I can’t recommend Captain Harold and John enough.

An Unforgettable Fishing Experience!

We had an incredible day out on the water with Captain Harold and John! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and so much fun. Not only did we catch mahi-mahi, king mackerel, and wahoo, but the crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had the best chance at landing some serious fish.

Captain Harold’s knowledge of the water and fishing hot spots is unmatched, and John was right there to help with everything we needed. Both were super accommodating and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable for everyone on board.

To top it all off, they cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us at the end, which was the perfect finishing touch. They even recommended a local restaurant that would cook what we catched!!!! And the restaurant cooked it to perfection!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better trip — highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a top-tier fishing adventure!

what an absolutely amazing day on the water caught wahoo black fin tuna mahi barracuda and a sailfish john the first mate is an exceptional fisherman and really tried hard getting everyone on fish today we will be booking with them more and recommending them to all of our friends

Had a fantastic morning with Captain Harold.  He has the first boat closest to the ocean on Pompono Beach, lines were in the water 15 minutes after we left, with our first fish within minutes. Ended up catching a beautiful 30lb wahoo, sailfish (catch and release) and a few others that were fun to pull in. Had great tasting fish (sashimi) for days. His boat is very nice, spacious, and rigged for a great fishing experience.  I highly recommend using Captain Harold for your fishing experience. Thanks again!
