3. 4-hour shared deep sea fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale

Four hours aboard a 46' Hatteras Sportfish — a shared deep sea fishing experience targeting species like sailfish and mahi-mahi, with all gear and the crew included.

“Look no further for the ideal charter boat experience; Captain Will Daley and his crew at Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing are exceptional. They provide a fantastic outing on the water, whether for a shared or private charter, catering to both seasoned anglers and newcomers alike. I joined a half-day shared charter and quickly bonded with fellow anglers from the Midwest, enjoying laughter and good company. Captain Will took the time to listen to our group’s experiences and expectations, which allowed him to tailor our fishing plan to focus on the active species in the area. Throughout the trip, Will skillfully guided his crew, Zack and Mike, as well as us guests while we worked the rods and outriggers. First mate Zack and Mike, even on Mike's first day, worked together seamlessly and communicated effectively with everyone on board. They patiently instructed us on techniques but also allowed experienced anglers to enjoy their fishing without interference, providing support as needed. Though the day began slowly due to cooler weather, Captain Will's local knowledge and instincts led us to successfully catch various fish, including bonitos and trophy-sized barracudas—a personal first. It was a memorable day with an outstanding crew, and I won't be seeking other options for charters in Fort Lauderdale in the future. I've found my go-to captain for my annual vacations, and if my four older kids join me next year, a fishing adventure with Captain Will will be at the top of our family activities. I'm a lifelong customer!”— 101lipton
