Miami is easily among the most popular sports fishing destinations in the world, where anglers catch the most spectacular and sought-after big game fish in existence. The number of species swimming in the Atlantic Ocean is the highest on the planet and we can take you to catch them on our Miami Fishing Charters. The biggest advantage is the amount of fish that migrate on the Gulf Stream current which passes extremely close to shore. This means that many of these monsters can be caught a few miles from the coast - leaving anglers with more time to catch them from our luxury fishing boats in Miami.

There is no shortage of phenomenal fish to catch in the Atlantic Ocean. Sailfish, swordfish, blue marlin, white marlin, tuna, grouper, snapper, shark, mahi-mahi and wahoo are among our customer’s favorites. Fishing is so popular in Miami because these fish present anglers with an enormous challenge and when they are hooked on your lines then exhilaration is guaranteed. Many of the fish that we catch are edible and can be taken home for dinner. This makes catching them even more rewarding. Miami locals highly recommend experiencing this adventure firsthand.

Our Miami Fishing Charters are private and can be customized to create the perfect fishing trip for you. You can target any fish and you can use the tournament grade equipment already onboard all our fishing yachts – which are clean, comfortable, fast and extremely safe. Specialized techniques are required to catch some of these fish and our captains and crews all specialize in the necessary methods. They will help you to catch the biggest fish of your fishing career by sharing their knowledge with all onboard.

Calle Ocho Festival and Carnaval Miami are major attractions for tourists and they are annual events. The city has many entertainment venues, theme parks, museums, theatres and performing arts centres. Visitors to the area have so many activities to keep them entertained. Whatever your mood, you will find something to match it in Miami. The tropical climate gets people outdoors enjoying adventure sports, diving, sailing, snorkelling, skiing or having leisurely strolls around town. You can shop at various boutiques, galleries and shopping malls. You can relax and pamper yourself at any of the spas in the city. There is no limit to the things on offer and you can experience it all.

There are occasionally days when a particular fish may not be biting, in which case our Palm Beach Fishing Charters may suggest targeting a different fish instead. Fishing is never dull with us because there are always a number of species biting every day. Climb aboard our luxury fishing boats in Miami and discover the meaning of true adventure out on the ocean.

Call us to book your Miami Fishing Charter and revel in the excitement that these monster fish promise.

Type Center Console
Length 35 feet (10.7 m)
Manufacturer Sea Hunter
Max Passengers 6 (4 recommended)
Air Conditioning No
Bathroom No
Kid Friendly Yes
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.
