Hit the High Seas on a Miami Fishing Charter!

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.

Have a Round of Golf with Dad in Miami

What better way to spend a day with dad than on the golf course? Miami has multiple courses to choose from, including both public and private options. At Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne, you can practise your swing while admiring the ocean views. The Miami Beach Golf Club offers a pristine course with 18 holes. Dating back to 1923, this golf club is a favorite among locals and visitors, and also has an excellent restaurant on-site for you to refuel after your activity.

For some fun for the whole family, swap your golf clubs for a putter and enjoy some mini-golf! Some golf courses, such as Palmetto, have mini-golf courses alongside their 18-hole courses. Otherwise, you can choose from one of many lively individual mini-golf courses in the city!
