Hands-down this is the best fishing charter I’ve ever experienced in South Florida. Capt. Doug is so much fun to hang out with and knows how to get the job done. We ended up catching several blackfin, snapper, and more. Thanks for the great times!

Although this isn't the cheapest charter, it is absolutely worth it!
The captain was outstanding with our three kids (all teenagers). He worked tirelessly to make sure that everyone had a great experience and kept us engaged all day. If you’re going to be out all day, we recommend that you bring food and appropriate clothing. Doug took care of everything else for the most part!

Outstanding fishing experience! 🎣 I wish I could give this charter 100 stars. We doubled up on Wahoo and landed both within 45 minutes of leaving the dock. We also caught Tuna and sailfish. This was the best charter ever!

Stellar day overall. We began the day trolling and ended up catching tuna and wahoo. After that, we went deep-dropping and caught several tilefish. This was a really cool experience as we had never caught anything like that before. Can’t wait to fish with you again Captain Doug!

Best fishing charter in Pompano Beach. We booked the six hour trip and Captain Doug put us on the fish almost immediately. I would leave six stars if I could 😀

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to after fishing with American made charters. This is my second time fishing with Captain Doug. Both times he exceeded my expectations. We caught two wahoo, a barracuda and snapper. Capt. Doug cares about his clients and wants to share his passion for fishing with others. You will not be disappointed.

Our captain knew exactly where to go and exactly what to do. I swear this guy has some kind of fish whispering superpower. He put us right on the fish within minutes. Incredible day of fishing.

Despite getting seasick, I still managed to have the time of my life. Captain Doug somehow distracted me from the nausea enough to land several fish on my own. Although I may not go offshore again I would definitely recommend this charter to anybody in the Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach area.

My family booked last minute fishing charter with Captain Doug and it was a day that we all won't soon forget. My sister has been petrified of fish since she was young and Doug got her to hold the tuna that she caught 😂. One of the best moments for me and my family to watch.

Booked a fishing charter for my 35th birthday with Captain Doug. We ended up catching three sailfish which I was absolutely thrilled about. The captain was professional and kept his boat comfortable and clean throughout the day. Highly recommend this charter if you’re looking to fish in Pompano Beach, Florida.
