Captain JJ and 1st mate Kaylee were fantastic! The 50ft boat was clean, comfy inside, coolers and fridge for whatever we wanted to bring and all of their fishing rod/reels were top notch! Kaylee was awesome with my 12 year old son who loves to fish at home as she explained all the things we would see and what to do throughout the day! She answered ALL of his questions and was so incredibly kind! We had an epic day catching bonita, Spanish mackerel, 61 inch WAHOO and then they switched out their rods to bring in the real big fish! Ended the trip with an 11ft hammerhead shark! JJ and Kaylee are who you want to book with if you are looking for a crew to make your experience fun and who will work hard to make it awesome!

I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Marlin My Darlin Sportfishing. 
Great communication with the captain.  Clear instructions on how to get to their location.  I’ve not seen a cleaner, well maintained fishing boat.  Captain JB quickly went over the “game plan” and we were off to a great fishing experience.  Loved having a local fishing team as our guides.  Captain JB and Chris are an amazing team.  We not only caught great/fun fish my son caught a trophy Amber Jack!!!  Trust me when I say you will not find a nicer crew.  Money well spent on this 5 hr fishing trip.  #GreatFamilyMemories.

I took my two sons fishing while in Ft. Lauderdale and this was the charter we choose based on the size of the boat and their reviews. J.B. the captain and Chris the first mate were very kind and knew the area. One great thing about this boat is if you have a choppy day on the water, this boat is more comfortable than a smaller center console and you can get out of the weather or the spray if the seas of sporty. They have good baits and the equipment is what you would expect. I would recommend using this crew if you’re looking for a charter out of Ft. Lauderdale. Oh, remember to ask them for a voucher for the parking lot, they charge to park at the marina and the boat will give you a voucher so you don’t have to pay.

Had a great time out as you can see it was a Boys trip. From the ages of 6 all the way up to 50 years old.
Kaylee and Demi where our the First Mates and they were beyond great. Logan was the Captain and a local with a ton of knowledge of the areas we fished. He knew where to go to get the fish.
The day we went out the fish weren’t biting at first a bunch of lizard fish. But it’s called fishing not catching. But with that, said Logan, Kaylee, Demi kept it going. We started catching a ton of different types of fish some keepers and some catch and release.
We definitely will be booking again with Logan, Kaylee and Demi. No doubt in our minds.
Kaylee and Demi were great with the 6 and 7 year olds with all there questions. Logan was super friendly and also great with the kids. They all were very patient with them. So if you have kids that want to go deep sea fishing I would highly recommend booking with Marlin My Darlin. The boys can stop talking about the trip.
Life is too short enjoy it while you can. Stop procrastinating. Wish we would have done this a lot sooner. We have booked with our vessels and I’m not BS-ing out of all the crew and companies we have dealt with this definitely deserves a 10 out of 10 - 5 stars.
Here’s a list of what we caught

Sand tile fish
Mutton snapper
Lane snapper
Vermillion snapper
Porgie

Queen trigger fish
Squirrel fish
Blue runner
Red Grouper - had to release Grouper season ends 12/31
lizzard fish

Once again Thank you so much for everything. We will be seeing you guys again.

Very impressed by the courteousness , knowledge, and overall family feeling with Captain JB and Kevin. We filled up on Tuna within minutes and caught 2 trophy fish (1 Golden Amberjack 44” and Barracuda)yesterday Monday March 17th 2025 ). I recommend this crew there were 6 of us (4 teenagers and 2 adults). Captain JB and Kevin went above and beyond to assist and teach. We will be back to specifically request them
