Six Hour Trip with Captain Bill

6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM3 adults

We fished with Captain Bill, September 10 and 11. Fishing was slow, but Bill and mates did everything they could do to catch fish. If they aren't biting they aren't biting. On the September 10 trip we did catch a good sized Wahoo along with a few other fish, including a barracuda, yellow tail. September 11 we chased out 10 miles and then trolled back. Long and short Captain Bill could done mothing more to snag more fish, and certainly the Wahoo on Friday was a heck of a highlight for us, as well as Scotty, the mate. I think he was more excited than we were. Though not a boatload of fish, still two great days with Captain Bill and team. Highlight for me in addition to a great couple of days with my grandsons, but I met John Schultz the owner of the boat, as well as the son of Herbie Schultz, the captain that took me on my first deep sea fishing trip 67 years ago on the original Southern Comfort. .

    best fishing charter ever

    Captain Bill & Porter — thank you both so much for an absolutely unforgettable day on the water! From start to finish, everything was perfect. You had us on fish in no time, kept the energy high, and made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. Celebrating my bachelorette with you guys couldn’t have been more special — truly the best time ever. Your knowledge, professionalism, and great vibes made the day beyond memorable for all of us. We’re still talking about it! If anyone is looking for an incredible fishing experience in South Florida, this is it. Can’t wait to come back and do it again. Thank you for making it so amazing!

    What an awesome trip!

    6 Hour Trip • 7 adults

    Captain Bill and his deckhand Drew delivered an absolutely outstanding fishing trip that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we left the dock, Captain Bill’s experience and calm confidence were obvious, putting everyone at ease and getting us on fish quickly. Drew was nonstop energy—knowledgeable, helpful, and great at coaching both beginners and experienced anglers throughout the day. The boat was well-run, organized, and safe, making the entire trip smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-tier fishing experience out of Florida, this is the crew you want on the water.

    Amazing trip!!!

    5 Hour Trip • 9 adults • 2 children

    The Captian and Porter were incredibly professional and helpful. We had a lot of first timers and everyone caught fish. We caught Mahi Mahi and lots of others. We eneded the day on the reef and caught tons of fish. The boat was very clean and big. Was nice for the little ones of our group to be able to go into the air conditioning! 100% will be back!!! Excited for fish tacos tonight!

    Great 4 hour trip!

    4 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 1 child

    Had a wonderful trip with captain Bill and Jonah. They helped teach us beginners and we got to go home with a ton of fish. They really made an effort to keep moving spots to make sure we were successful.
