Captain Shawn Safris has over 20 years of fishing experience. He has been passionate about fish since childhood. He enjoys being on the water and seeing the smile on a kid's face after reeling in a fish. Shawn is never in a hurry to get off the boat, always keen on spending a few extra hours trolling for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo or Tuna.

    Amazing Crew, Amazing Time

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Shawn and the Gradyful crew were top notch! Had a great time and they were very attentive to us. We've fished all over the Americas- North and South, so once the crew saw that we were experienced and safe, they let us have at it. For me, fishing isn't just being on a boat while it's catching fish, but being an active participant in it, and the crew understood that and welcomed it. I wouldn't even consider another charter if I'm going to fish in that area. Salutes to the Crew!!

    Incredible trip!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Shawn and Ro-Ro gave my father-in-law and I an incredible fishing trip. We did a 4 hour trip and landed multiple mahi, including my personal best 41” mahi (a true trophy fish!!), 2 barracuda, and some bonitas. The seas were pretty rough the day we went out but the boat handled the waves great and captain Shawn and Ro made the trip enjoyable. Will absolutely head back out with these guys!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Get Ready!!!!

Dec 13, 2023 • Pompano Beach
Strong East winds have kept fishing in the ocean a little tricky.. intercostal fishing has been pretty good. Big Jacks, Baracudas and Tarpon have kept anglers busy. I have a feeling once this wind settles down there will be plenty of bait pushed in shallow making fishing really good. Book that trip lets get um???

Now that the wind has settled down, it seems to have blown in a lot of bigger, dolphin. There also has been a lot of Sailfish caught and there's a bunch of little bonitas on the reef which has made the big Wahoos show up as well.
