  Great 2 hour trip

  2 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (3PM) on September 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Went out with captain Jay, everyone got a shark on, and it was my 4 yo daughters first time fishing. Captain Jay was great helping her and letting her reel. He absolutely made the trip worth it overall, conversational, knowledgeable, and a great angler for sure. Was worried about having a 4yo and a 2yo on the boat but that was immediately quelled getting out there, and everyone had a great time. Would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone looking to get kids into it, or on the water in general and interacting with aquatic life.

  Awesome family outing!

  5 hour HARDCORE OFFSHORE! on June 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  ​We had an absolutely fantastic time on our charter this morning! Captain Buddy was punctual, welcoming, and ready to go right at our 07:00 AM start time. ​The fishing did not disappoint—we reeled in a shark, a king mackerel, and a regular Spanish mackerel! Captain Buddy is incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters, the different fish species, and exactly where the best spots are to get a bite. ​Beyond the great fishing, the kids absolutely loved the boat ride itself. Captain Buddy was great with the family and made sure everyone had a blast. If you are looking for a fun, productive, and family-friendly day on the water, Captain Buddy is your guy. We will definitely be back!

  Safe, Professional, Knowledgeable Captain

  4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing - 11:00 AM on June 10, 2026 • 4 adults

  Definitely book Captain Buddy! He was literally the best captain of a fishing charter I have ever had. Been fishing in Ft Lauderdale and many Caribbean spots and he was the best hands down. He will adjust to your skill level and impart local fishing knowledge to Mae your trip perfect. He was very prompt and provided 2 straight days of excellent service and a really fun time for me and my teen boys. Very safe and professional but still a lot of fun. This is guy you want to Captain your charter and to hang out with for a few hours. Can’t wait to do it again! Thank you Buddy!!!

  Great family outing

  2 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (3PM) on May 5, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  Listen, you can’t always guarantee fish, and Capt Jay did everything he could to get that big one to bite. Unfortunately it didn’t, but we did get smaller bites. The fish here are SMART! We had a ton of nibbles, several lost ones, a broken line, and some bait thiefs, so they were there. Overall, it was such a great time, short of a little sea sickness, (also not avoidable at times), sorry Jay! We loved the boat, your company and your determination. We’ll be back, except this time with some Dramamine. :)

  Shark Fest!

  3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing - 3:00 PM on April 12, 2026 • 3 adults

  We had Captain Jay and I can honestly say it was one of the best HHI charters we have been on. Booked the 3hr afternoon shark trip. Told Jay ahead of time that we had been skunked 4 straight years on HHI charters. He said he would do his best to break the slump and boy did he deliver!!!! 8 sharks in the boat, a stingray including a 6ft bullhead shark. Talk about a slump buster! Jay kept us on the fish abd didn’t waste time on spots that werent producing. Highly recommend Captain Buddy’s especially Captain Jay!
