Captain Will and first mate Mike were fantastic! We did a six hour trip and caught 8 black fin tuna, 1 Mahi Mahi, and 1 red grouper. The bite was consistent all day and there attention to detail was paramount!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for fishing with us! I truly appreciate you choosing our charter and taking the time to leave a 5-star review. Mike and I had a fantastic time and are thrilled we could put you on so many good edible fish. Thanks for highlighting our attention to detail; it's something we work hard on because we know it makes a real difference. We hope to take you out again soon! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399

THE fishing trip you need to book, trust me.
Let me help you decide quicker. This is the fishing charter you want to book. Trust me! We had one of the best experiences of our lives fishing with Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing. Captain Will and his first mate Zack were absolutely incredible. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Will showed how much he genuinely cares about giving people a memorable experience. He put in so much effort, taught us everything we wanted to know and let us be as hands-on as we wanted to be. His knowledge, skill and passion for fishing are truly unmatched and impressive. We had an amazing day and caught 14 fish across 6 different species. We kept three beautiful blackfin tuna and Captain Will expertly prepped them for us on the boat. He even let us taste it fresh. It was the freshest and most delicious tuna we have ever had. Zack also went above and beyond by researching restaurants that could cook our fresh catch for us, which led us to one of the best meals we have ever eaten. This fishing trip was everything we hoped for and more. We cannot wait to come back and do it again with Captain Will. We highly recommend this charter to anyone. It truly exceeded every expectation
Response from the operator: Pierina, Thank you so much for your extremely kind remarks! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience fishing with us. We truly appreciate you choosing our charter for your deep-sea fishing trip, and we can’t thank you enough for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We do everything we can to provide an unforgettable experience for our guests, so it means a lot that you noticed and shared that in your feedback. Having you on the boat was an absolute pleasure, and watching you all reel in those fish was a true joy. I’m especially glad you were able to enjoy the tuna—there’s nothing quite like eating fresh fish you caught yourself! Thank you again for fishing with us, for the 5-star rating, the thoughtful review, and for recommending our charter to others. We can’t wait to have you back out on the water with us soon! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fort Lauderdale.
How much does Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale cost?
+
Prices start at $638 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fort Lauderdale usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fort Lauderdale is not rushed.
Is Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fort Lauderdale, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fort Lauderdale can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fort Lauderdale and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 6 Hour Deep Sea Sportfishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fort Lauderdale within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fort Lauderdale?
+
Fort Lauderdale sells canal and Millionaire's Row boat cruises, Everglades airboat trips, snorkel and dive charters on the reef, and Miami and Key West day trips. Boat size and reef conditions drive the quality of the water tours. On Outty we rank every Fort Lauderdale experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1-Hour Interactive Pirate Cruise (arrive 30 minutes early), Fort Lauderdale Segway Tour, Half-day Everglades National Park Tour and 1-Hour Air Boat Ride. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fort Lauderdale?
+
November to April, with warm water year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fort Lauderdale?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
