We didn’t catch any but the experience was nice. The guides were very helpful and provided assistance and advices constantly. If you are a beginner fisherman or just wants to experience how is to fish in the ocean this is for you.

Know when to cancel

Kira_J, Apr 2024

I’m not prone to getting seasick but this was on a whole other level. It was very windy and choppy - might as well have thrown us in the ocean the way the water was crashing onto the boat. Then banged up being thrown into the metal ladder. Went inside to find more than half of us were vomiting instead of fishing. We begged for the captain to turn around early it was so bad which he did. I know they can’t control the weather and I didn’t expect a refund but at least offer a voucher BEFORE the trip because we should not have been out there in those conditions. My husband was one of the few that was able to catch anything but too small to keep. It’s an upgrade to a smaller group/bigger fish. Also, very crowded so if you’d like a seat arrive early.

PEACE BY THE BAY

Condy_G, Apr 2024

The view from the balcony was very nice. The apartment was nice and comfortable. The Publix grocery store was close by and many other things to go do.

Great day!

John_W, Mar 2024

Great to get out on the open water, with my son. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive. It was a fun memory!

Here fishy fishy

Corey_C, Mar 2024

Friendly and helpful crew. Unlucky day for most everyone on the boat, didn’t catch much. Still fun anyways

Fun, sun, fishing and a few yachts

Heather_W, Feb 2024

Staff was amazing both Josh and the captain are so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Lots of different fishing opportunities and sun and sights. Great time! I’d recommend it.

Great experience to learn fishing

Sabrina_J, Feb 2024

Great experience. I learned how to fish and enjoyed the peaceful ocean. Just suggest staff to wear gloves when they process fish, which can protect their hands.

Heidi_Z, Jan 2024

We decided to do a fishing trip and at the last minute Captain Will got us to upgrade to a private charter. What a great decision. The fishing was incredible and we caught tons of fish. The largest was a 47 inch amberjack. The meat and captain were very knowledgeable and made for an incredibly memorable experience. Would highly recommend to anyone beginner to advanced.

Just do it!

Kaja_P, Jan 2024

Will_H, Dec 2023

We had a great time! We had 13 people attending for a work trip, the location made parking very easy and safe, one of our attendees was about 10 minutes late to the take off and the crew was very understanding and accommodating. The trip was very fun and we were given everything we needed to succeed, bait, poles, everything. I also really liked interacting with the staff on the boat that assisted guests with any technical issues; the captain was very flexible and made sure we were going where the fish were biting if the guests as a whole stopped catching fish we would move. The cleaning process was also very quick and sanitary afterwards. Overall a great time that I would recommend to anyone looking for a relatively inexpensive fishing trip.

Do it you won’t regret it!

Alana_M, Aug 2023

It’s was awesome! Such a good time my boyfriend and I were able to catch 10+ fish and even got to take one home with us to eat! Jack was such a big help, he was awesome! would definitely recommend! 10/10

I’d do it again.

Jose_H, May 2023

While we didn’t take home any fish because what was caught didn’t meet the minimum size, the experience was great and the mates are helpful.

Outstanding experience

Ron_M, Apr 2023

Outstanding captain and deck hand. Both really went all out to make the 4 hour fishing trip a memorable one.

Rehab on the water

Leon_M, Jan 2023

This is the best drift boat fishing in my opinion. The crew are so fun and very helpful. I learned a lot from the crew plus had a awesome time fishing

Fun fishing experience

Juan_C, Dec 2022

It was such an amazing experience! All my girls caught a fish, my husband caught 5 fish! One of the crewman, Jeremiah was the funniest and very helpful, he definitely made our experience better.

Fun Night Fishing w/ Fishing Headquarter Ft. Lauderdale

Kimberly_H, Oct 2022

We picked the 8:30 PM to 12:30 AM fishing trip. Our first mate was Ryan, he was the only one and he was hilarious. He also, had great fishing stories. He did an awesome job handling all 13 customers with our fishing needs. We caught plenty fish many species from groupers, sharks, googled eyed, yellow tail lane, trigger, and more! Ryan had a vast knowledge of fish. I recommend the night fishing because we didn't catch much during the day trip and that may vary per the season. All in all my hubby and I had so much fun! Ryan cleaned our fish when we got back to the boat landing and it was really fun to watch him filet the fish in like 2 minutes. The company's name is Fishing Headquarters it is cheaper to go directly to them instead of using Viator. I found out at the venue.

It was a nice ride out...

Randell_T, Oct 2022

It was a nice ride out how ever I wish we were taken to better spots. And the boat rods weren’t so heavy. On the bright side the mate was very friendly and helpful.

Great but could be better

David_N, Aug 2022

Staff was friendly and willing to help but if you don't, then they'll mostly walk past. I don't blame them for having a fully loaded ship but I feel as though there should be less booking for the size.

👏👏👏🥰👍👍👏👏👏

Jozelia_O, Aug 2022

Me my son and my husband had a wonderful time there and crew is so enthusiastic and helpful, they really put 101% of effort to have us happy. The crew made sure every kid on the boat got a fish, I thought that was very kind and I caught a mangrove snapper. Overall great trip, My mom got sea sickness ,but it’s a great trip I would recommend it for others!
