  Don’t Tell Your Mom, Tell your friends!

  Half-Day Deep Sea Sportfishing Trip - 1:00 PM on July 25, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  We had an incredible afternoon on Don’t Tell Your Mom with Captain Will and first mate Zach. They were both friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone on board had a great time, whether they were experienced anglers or fishing for the first time. The action was nonstop! We caught a barracuda, bonita, yellowtail, and several other fish. We even hooked into a sailfish, but unfortunately it threw the hook after an exciting fight. The highlight of the trip, though, was landing an impressive dusky shark—an experience none of us will forget! Best of all, the women and kids had an absolute blast. Captain Will and Zach were patient, encouraging, and made the trip fun for everyone. If you’re looking for a great family fishing charter with an experienced crew that knows how to put you on fish, I can’t recommend Don’t Tell Your Mom enough. We’ll definitely be back!

  Marc, thank you so much for the incredible review! It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. We're especially glad to hear everyone had such a great time—from the experienced anglers to the first-timers. That's exactly the kind of trip we strive to provide. We definitely had an action-packed afternoon with a great variety of fish, and that Dusky Shark was one for the memory books! It's always exciting to hook a Sailfish too, even if this one managed to shake the hook. Thanks again for trusting us with your family's day on the water and for recommending us. We can't wait to fish with you all again! Tight lines, Capt. Will

  valiant effort

  Shared Deep Sea Sportfishing Trip - 1:00 PM on August 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Captain Will and his mighty mate Zach did EVERYTHING they could to help us get fish into the boat. unfortunately, the fish had other plans. it's why it's called fishing and not catching. The crew was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. they were especially courteous of my 4 year old boy to help create a core memory. The fish were few and small, but my son didn't know the difference as Zach and Capt Will made him feel like every one was a trophy. He's already asking, "Dad, when can we fish with Captain Will again?!" I could only answer with, "The next time we come to Miami/Ft Lauderdale." because we'll definitely book with this boat and crew again.

  Thank you so much, William! We really appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. Zach and I had a great time fishing with you and your family, and it was especially awesome seeing your son having so much fun on the boat! While we always hope to put a big fish in the boat, making memories and getting the whole family involved is what it’s all about. Hearing that your son is already asking, "When can I fish with Captain Will again?" truly means the world to us. We’d love to have you all back aboard the next time you’re in Fort Lauderdale or Miami; call us anytime! Tight lines, Capt. Will

  A day of fishing my son and I will never forget!

  Shared Deep Sea Sportfishing Trip on July 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  First time ocean fishing with my teenage son. Day started off slow, but Will and Mike kept things interesting answering fishing questions and just knowledgeable information of the area. The fish started biting we were with 2 other groups of 2, every group caught something. Will and Mike are super friendly guys, Mike was constantly changing out lines while still showing and telling us what he was doing. At the end of the trip Mike hooked a 7 1/2ft lemon shark that put up a great fight all the way to the boat. We ended up with some once in a lifetime photos. Thanks guys for a day we won't forget.

  Hi Kyle, thank you so much for the awesome review! It was a pleasure having you and your son aboard for his first ocean fishing trip. We know those first experiences can turn into lifelong memories, and we're honored we got to be a part of it. Fishing started a little slow, but we're glad we were able to keep everyone engaged while waiting for the bite to turn on. It was great to see every group catch fish, and that big 7½-foot Lemon Shark at the end was definitely an unforgettable way to wrap up the trip! Those photos are going to be tough to beat. Thanks again for choosing to fish with us. We hope to welcome you and your son back for another adventure soon; call us anytime! Tight lines, Capt. Will

  Making Memories & Filling the Freezer

  Shared Deep Sea Sportfishing Trip on June 24, 2026 • 3 adults

  Mitch and Mike worked hard to keep us on the fish and setting us up for success. We opted for a 4hr shared the charter and ended up fishing alongside a nice couple from NY. Everyone had a great time and brought in atleast one fish each, if not more, including Black Fin Tuna, Bonita, and Barracuda. While it was incredibly hot (it’s FL in June, afterall) it was well worth battling the heat to share this experience with my family. 10/10, would reccomend!

  Thanks so much, Sheena! We're thrilled you and your family had such a great time with us. Mitch and Mike work hard to make sure everyone has a fun and successful trip, so they'll be happy to hear your kind words. It sounds like the fishing cooperated too, with everyone getting in on the action and bringing home some fresh fish! We know the South Florida summer heat can be intense, thats why we loving fishing on a big boat with AC on the interior and we're glad the experience made it worthwhile. Thank you for choosing to spend part of your vacation with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family back aboard the next time you're in Fort Lauderdale. Tight lines, Captain Will Daley Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing 🎣

  Thursday Kite Fishing

  Half-Day Deep Sea Sportfishing Trip - 1:00 PM on February 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had a great day on the water with Capt Will and Mate Derrick. Even though the kites were flying perfectly and the spread looked textbook, the fish just weren’t biting. That’s fishing. Wound up trolling and snatched a few fish on the way back in and a nice barracuda. What stood out most was the effort and professionalism. Capt Will worked hard to put us in the right spots, constantly adjusting to conditions, while Derrick stayed sharp on the rods and baits all day. The boat was clean, organized, and ran safely. Despite the slow bite, the experience was relaxed, enjoyable, and any day on the water beats the office. We’d absolutely head back out with them and chase the next big one.
