We booked this fishing charter 6 months ago because our kids love to fish and we knew we’d be in Florida. This fishing trip did not disappoint! Captain Doug Perez hustled - and I mean hustled - to make sure we did everything possible to hook some fish. We have small kids, 10 and 6, but Captain Doug made it so easy for them to reel in some big fish. We know there are no guarantees when it comes to fishing, so while we don’t catch dozens of fish, we did catch ones that our kids were most excited about - blackfin tuna, mahi mahi, kingfish, Bonita, and a barracuda. This was a huge success. Fishing can be daunting if you’re impatient, but I highly recommend American Made Charters to anyone in the area - he knows where the fish are! I would 100% book a charter with Captain Doug if we’re ever in Fort Lauderdale again. He was so friendly, made it easy for our kids to reel the fish in themselves and just really loves fishing - which was awesome because my kids always ask a million questions. Thanks for the best fishing experience - the kids haven’t stopped talking about it!!!!!

If you want a captain that works hard to put you on fish and knows his way around the water this is the trip for you.  We came with hopes of catching tuna and going home with stories but the fishing was tough and slow.  Captain Doug worked his behind off and decided to take us deep dropping which was a dream come true for me.  We came home with fish while I watched other boats come back with nothing it was that tough of a day for fishing.  Even still we had a blast, enjoyed our time on the boat and gained some knowledge we will definitely book again.

Captain Doug is top shelf! Great guy, great energy, great attitude, really knows his boat, gear and area. He was was even more invested in us putting fish in the boat than we were. when we got back to shore Doug even did all the paper work and helped me get my mount lined up for my wall, which saved me a bunch of messing around.

Another Species off the check list and a great day on the water, I couldn’t have had a better experience!! Doug, we will see you again buddy!!
