Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, I grew up on the water. I was fortunate enough to live on a canal and that is where my passion started, fishing in my backyard. From there I started expanding my territory on the family canoe until I got my first boat. Since then I have been fishing the canals and Intracoastal of Fort Lauderdale, Biscayne Bay in Miami, and even the Florida Keys for over 20 years. I've been lucky enough to experience firsthand the amazing fishery that South Florida has to offer and now my passion is to allow others to experience this same fishery and hopefully motivate them to help protect this precious resource.

    Zachary is a great charter captain he keep us on the water and away from the storms. He has great knowledge of the waters and put me and my dad on tons of different varieties of fish. Highly recommend for a inshore charter.

    Captain Zach is about thise fish

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    Zach was a tremendous guide and put us onto some huge tarpon, jacks, and barracuda right in Ft Lauderdale. While there may be complaints about us as fishermen, there can be no complaints about Zach’s knowledge, communication nor passion for guiding and fishing. I will try to book with Zach anytime I find myself in the Ft Lauderdale area.

    Fishing was a blast with No Doubt CharterZ! We caught a crazy variety of fish and he even put us onto a very large blacktip. We caught tuna and bonito before dark and then headed in and caught several Jack and snook! We also hooked up on some other fish like remora and tarpon! This was an incredible charter!

What's biting with No Doubt CharterZ in Fort Lauderdale

Sailfish start to settle in earnest nearshore, chasing schools of mullet through Fort Lauderdale's famous 'Sailfish Alley'. Bottom fishing for Snapper and Grouper is excellent, with a host of species crowding the reefs.
