We booked a half-day trip with Therapy IV out of Haulover Marina, and it turned out to be one of the most exciting and memorable days of our lives—especially for my 12-year-old son, who was going deep sea fishing for the very first time. Captain Mike and First Mate Chris made the entire experience absolutely outstanding.
They were incredibly welcoming and patient, taking the time to explain everything to my son.  They clearly love what they do and have that perfect mix of expertise, enthusiasm, and fun energy that makes a family trip special.
We hooked into a beautiful sailfish early on— sadly, it spit the hook.
Then came the magic: we spotted a school of mahi-mahi, and they put a rod in my son’s hand and he hooked two himself.  My son reeled in his first mahi-mahi.  As he was catching the mahi, we even hooked a feisty barracuda on one of the lines—pure adrenaline!
To cap off an already great day, right before heading back in, we hooked into an 8-9 foot tiger shark. Watching my son battle that massive predator (with expert guidance from Mike and Chris) was the ultimate thrill.
Captain Mike’s knowledge of the waters and ability to find the fish was impressive, and Chris was right there every step—hands-on helping with rods, bait, and keeping the boat clean and organized so we could focus on the fun. They both went above and beyond to make this a perfect and joyful experience for a kid’s first big offshore trip.
If you’re looking for a charter in the Miami area that delivers real adventure, top-notch service, and memories that last a lifetime—especially with kids—Therapy IV with Captain Mike and Chris is the absolute best choice. We can’t wait to go back!
Thank you, Mike and Chris—you made my son’s first deep sea fishing trip legendary! Highly recommend—5 stars aren’t enough! 🎣🦈

We had a great time on our charter.  We had Capt. Mike and Capt. Chris.  Not only did they put us on fish, they were great conversationslists that made all 4 of us feel welcome.  They were amazing at answering all of the questions about fishing, the waters we were in and the area.  They were very gracious and did their best to put us on the catch.  They took time during the day to try different styles of fishing, and explain to us what the different types of fishing were good for.

We caught a ton of Bonita, one Blackfin Tuna, and a 49” Barracuda (Which we are having mounted.  The guys made that process super easy too).

It was a great experience all the way around for my Wife, 14 year old daughter, 10 year old son and me.

EXCELLENT.

We had an absolutely amazing time on this fishing charter! The crew went out of their way to make sure everyone was involved the whole trip. They were patient, fun, and so knowledgeable.

And the fishing? Incredible! We caught so many fish-which kept everyone smiling and busy the entire day. The boat was clean, safe, and well-equipped, and the entire experience felt easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The crew truly went above and beyond so we could catch a barracuda! So many memories we will cherish!

Our family had the most amazing time on our half day fishing trip with Captain Mike and crew member Chris.  They were both professional, knowledgeable, patient, and funny. Our group included 3 adults and 3 boys ages 5, 8, and 11.  They had our boys engaged and on the fish within 10 minutes of leaving the marina.  After a couple of hours of our boys catching many Bonitos and a Mai Mai, they switched out the poles to let the adults try for some bigger fish.  It wasn’t long before the adults pulled in a nice sized Barracuda and a large Amberjack.  Chris filleted most of the fish we caught and we were able to enjoy them for lunch.  The boat was spacious, clean, and felt safe.  I read lots of reviews before booking this charter and I am so grateful we went with Therapy IV.  THANK YOU Mike and Chris for giving us wonderful memories and a fun day!
