Terrific Boat Charters is your ticket to the stunning waters of Miami Beach and the Florida Keys. Having logged many hours on these tides, CTerrific Boat Charters is your ticket to the stunning waters of Miami Beach and the Florida Keys. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Eric is prepared to put you on fish. If you’re in South Florida looking to find that one particular species, traffic charters knows where to find them.

These waters are known for Mangrove Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish, Black Grouper, Wahoo, Amberjack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Tarpon, Bull Shark, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there’s spearfishing.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 28’ Thunderbird center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). These trips are all in south Florida and may be in different locations. Please contact traffic charters if there’s any questions before booking and make sure you have a terrific trip.
