Fort Lauderdale Fishing Charter: Mahi, Sailfish & Deep Water

Fish the weed lines and deep water off Fort Lauderdale with tackle and bait ready to go.

A 6-hour fishing charter from Bahia Mar in Fort Lauderdale takes up to six anglers to shallow weed lines at 200 feet or deep offshore waters beyond 1400 feet to fish for mahi, sailfish, snapper, jacks, bonitos and sharks. The boat carries rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice and coolers. A fishing license is included. Moderate fitness is needed for the boat's motion and pace.

The experience

Fort Lauderdale Beachfront is where the boat launches from Bahia Mar Hotel, and the charter runs six hours total. The captain and crew rig tackle and know where the fish are holding. You can target the weed lines in shallower water at 200 feet, or push out beyond 1400 feet to fish deep. The boat carries everything: rods and reels, tackle, live bait, ice and coolers to keep your catch fresh. A fishing license is included in the price.

The fleet is built for speed, so you spend less time traveling and more time fishing. Up to six passengers board, and the crew handles the rigging and technique so you focus on the bite. Mahi, sailfish, snapper, jacks, bonitos and sharks are all in play depending on the season and where the captain reads the water. The coolers are yours to fill.

Is this one for you?The six-hour window is built for anglers who want a full day on the water without committing to a full-day trip. The fast boat gets you to productive water quickly, so more of those six hours are spent fishing rather than running.
