Flat Bottom Fishing Charters
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
1784 SE 15th Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33316
Welcome to Flat Bottom Fishing Charters, where big fish are always in season!
If you are in the Fort Lauderdale area and are looking for the fight of a lifetime look no further! We will be targeting GIANT Tarpon and Snook on relatively light tackle, hooking into fish in the 100lb+ range. These big Tarpon put on quite a show, jumping 6+ feet out of the water, pulling a TON of drag, breaking a lot of gear and a lot of hearts. But if you have the determination and with a little bit of luck you just might land the fish of a lifetime. Come out and test your skills against the most prized inshore fish in the world, The Silver King, Tarpon!
Captain Dennis offers half-day charters for groups of up to four anglers and provides all the necessary bait and tackle. You’ll be fishing in calm inshore waters, so there’s no need to worry about seasickness. Being a family-friendly charter, we welcome anglers of all levels.
Our scheduling is flexible, so feel free to contact the captain to arrange a time that suits you best. Fishing licenses are included, so book your trip with Flat Bottom Fishing Charters now and get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure.

I’ve been dreaming of catching a tarpon for the last two years. The last time I went out with a charter I couldn’t even get one to bite. But captain dennis has us hooked up within two hours of being on the water. Thanks for making my fishing dreams come true Capt!

Captain Dennis was a great guide to fish with. He respected the fish while enjoying the sport. He gave us pointers along the way and was very patient with our group throughout the entirety of the day.

Went fishing in the evening and caught four tarpon. Two were over 90 pounds! My heart is still racing. Captain Dennis is an amazing captain who is easy to talk to. We recommend him any day.

Crazy night of fishing with Captain Dennis! Flat Bottom Charters is where it’s at. Lost a few tarpon - one that wasn’t absolute giant - and landed a good size Snook . Looking forward to fishing with Dennis in the future. He is professional and good at what he does!

Capt. Dennis is an excellent fisherman. We’ve known Dennis for several years now and he is always consistent when he takes us on the water. I would not hesitate to book with him if are were looking for a great charter experience in the FLL region.

Captain Dennis was committed to making it happen for us. He did everything he could to help me and my boyfriend land a Snook, which we did! He even stayed out later than what we paid for. Great customer service.

Landed a Shark and some nice Jacks. So much adrenaline pumping through my veins reeling in that shark. We booked our next trip with Captain Dennis already.. and for good reason.
