Shared Sportfishing Charter
The Fort Lauderdale reefs and shipwrecks are home to some of the most sought after game fish in the world. On this sport fishing trip, you “go with the pros” to fish for sailfish, bull dolphin, tuna, wahoo, grouper, cobia, amberjacks and more. This trip begins with a 10 minute ride along the Intracoastal Waterway, where you’ll see some of Fort Lauderdale’s multi-million dollar homes. After that you’ll spend a few minutes catching some live bait, as this gets everyone in the fishing mood and familiarizes you with the boat’s equipment. The boat you have chartered is a 48’ Ray Davis Fisherman. It is fully equipped with an air conditioned cabin for those warm Florida days and a huge fishing cockpit with lots of room for everyone to fish. There are two fighting chairs, for when you hook the “big-one,” a fish-finder and an array of electronics, and a clean restroom. Usually this trip is comprised of only 3 or 4 people, never more than 6, so the experience is 1 on 1 with the crew. Highlights Head off Fort Lauderdale’s coast on this four-hour shared sportfishing charter. Maximum group size of six means the boat won’t be overcrowded. Fish for wahoo, tuna, sailfish and more from the comfort of a fully-equipped Ray Davis Fisherman boat. Charter departs daily at 8am and 1pm.
