😠 I booked a shared fishing charter and had a great morning with lots of catches. However, at the end of the trip Captain Bob did not want to give me any fish due to “finances”. I tipped 15% of the total price but maybe that was not enough? This was my first time charter fishing. He ended up giving me... People often mention Captain, fish, fishing, caught, charter, trip,

    I booked a shared fishing charter and had a great morning with lots of catches. However, at the end of the trip Captain Bob did not want to give me any fish due to “finances”. I tipped 15% of the total price but maybe that was not enough? This was my first time charter fishing. He ended up giving me less than half of what I caught. Also, Captain Bob spent most of the trip yelling at the mate and being rude to other customers. If you decide to book with is Company and Bob is your Capital, I suggest to just walk off the boat and demand a refund!

    Went out fishing with captain Don and his first mate. Some guy named “captain guy” did the scheduling for the trip even though he was in the hospital. Don stated he wasn’t all there in the head and screwed up our departing time. We were scheueled to meet them at the dock at noon. We ended up leaving the dock at 12:15 and we originally paid for a three hour charter but we were back to the dock at 2:15 cause he said he had another charter right after even though we only got 2 hours of fishin in instead of 3. Didn’t get to keep any of our fish we caught like it was advertised on the website. Neither of the guys talked at all the whole trip unless we asked them questions. I would suggest going with a different charter company instead of this one. These guys are more about making as much money as possible instead of customer satisfaction. Half star rating

    First, they worked very hard all day, especially the helper, Steve. Captain Bob wants you to catch fish. What really ruined the day for us was Captain Bob’s constant berating of Steve, it gets old, and at times, that berating was directed at us. We lost over an hour when Bob decided to go kite fishing in high winds. Instead of recognizing poor conditions, he just kept yelling at Steve while we were NOT fishing. He finally abandoned that and we did something else. There is no seating in the fishing area, so I stood for most of the time. We caught one tuna, one yellow tail snapper. Steve was great, very friendly and clearly enjoys fishing. However, after being belittled for an hour he was not in the best mood and snapped at us several times. I do not go on these trips to be talked down to. The other piece you should know, and this is not a criticism, is that this boat will run the whole time. We stopped and dropped lines once, but other than that it’s very heavy tackle in rod holders. The smell of diesel got to us after a while. Ive caught tuna before, standing, holding a rod, and it’s a blast. Cranking one in where the only thing you can feel is the weight of the fish, not the fight, because the tackle is so heavy is not my preference. I’ve never fished like that, so it was a good lesson for me on what to avoid going forward. Again, they did work hard and I appreciate that.

    This was awesome! Found through Groupon and will book these guys again for a future trip. Guy was so nice over the phone and the Captain and mate aboard were just as cool. I believe their names were Captain Bill and John, either way they were friendly, helpful and we caught some fish! Thank you for doing the cleaning and providing us with a fun Sunday. We did a shared ride and lucked out with people from back in our hometown. Relaxing and fun, will definitely return.

    What a fun trip. I found this guy, Captain Guy, FISH Lauderdale, on a Fort Lauderdale Groupon. On a call direct to him, he gave discount rate and guaranteed we would go out on the day we calendared. What a blessing. ... I do believe that God provides guidance day to day. If I had done Groupon, I’d be holding an unused ticket because the others for our day dropped out. We had a private charter with Capt Guy and First Mate Brandon. He recommended South Port Raw Bar for getting our fresh king mackerel filets cooked. (Brandon went extra mile and removed skin! We tipped him, that’s for sure.) Since we came to meet the boat with a Lyft, Captain Guy graciously offered to take us in his boat to the dock of the restaurant! (The Restaurant was excellent. Jennifer was our wonderful waitress.) We caught 2 eating size king mackerel, a 13-Lb king mackerel and a little tunny. This is the way to go fishing! No more than 6 customers. What good memories this trip provided. Highly recommend.

    The brothers that run this, Chris & Brennen are the best of the best. This has been a lifelong dream of my husbands, we happy to say 1 sail fish & 14 other fish & we have 1 thing checked off our bucket list. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We loved it!

    My son and I took a half day charter on THE MONSTER. Captain Bob and First Mate Brandon were very knowledgeable and experienced in offshore navigation and fishing. We caught mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna and bonita. I highly recommend this charter! And yes, we enjoyed blackfin tuna sushi later that afternoon.

    Absolutely spectacular experience. 😍👍😊It was so much fun with Captain Brendon and John aboard! My son caught a 70 lbs over 7fl sail fish - he was the happiest kid on the planet😁. The crew is extremely knowledgeable , experienced, personable and helpful. They are very down to earth and make you feel right at home. We felt very safe and comfortable on the boat. The guys went above and beyond and expanded my son’s priceless experience Beyond his wildest dreams as well as smoked the fish for us!!!! The whole experience was amazing and we will definitely do it again with Fish Lauderdale!!! Love these guys ❤️❤️❤️

    Captain Bob is a grumpy old man, he uses Groupon as bait to fish customers pocket and will give you a bad day

    I went out fishing today with the friend of mine and my parents and we had a great time. The crew was very professional and they were very good. It was a fairly rough day but the captain made it a comfortable ride and we caught vanitas as well as a king fish a wahoo and 3 mahi. I will go again thanks again crew
