Florida is world-renowned for its fishing, and Miami is one of the best places to experience it firsthand. With dozens of licensed fishing charters operating out of our city, you and the family can hit the open water for anywhere from a few hours to a full-day adventure. Most charters provide all equipment, bait, and fishing licenses, making it an easy, hassle-free experience, even for beginners.
Depending on the season, you may be able to reel in marlin, tuna, mahi-mahi, grouper, snapper, amberjack, and even sailfish, the fastest fish in the ocean. For the truly adventurous, some Miami fishing charters also offer shark fishing, targeting species such as tiger sharks, hammerheads, and blacktips. Keep in mind that early morning departures often offer calmer seas and the best bite times.
