Our Pompano Beach sportfish is considered by most locals to be the best charter operation in Pompano Beach. At 53 feet, this Hatteras is about 10 feet larger than most other sportfishing charter boats in Pompano Beach. This may not sound like much, but the extra 10 feet creates additional area for fishing and makes the boat more comfortable at sea.

A center console charter is a unique experience since these types of boats are quicker and more agile than a typical sportfish. Another advantage of this boat is that it offers 360 degree fishability so you won't lose fish under the boat. You'll feel "closer" to the water, which is great if you don't mind getting splashed, but not great for those who are prone to seasickness.
