Best fishing experience of my life!

5.00Book NOW! I have been on half a dozen fishing charters in the past decade and this has been my favorite by far. Will and the crew provided the ultimate charter experience and made it memorable for me and my sons. The fishing was excellent, and they worked extremely fast to get our lines back in the water once a fish was caught. We absolutely will be booking "Don't Tell Mom" the next time we are in Fort Lauderdale!
Great experience

5.00My sons and I booked a 4 hour private charter with Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing and we had a fantastic time. From the moment we met Captain Will and Mate Zack at the dock they were friendly and helpful. We were novices to ocean fishing but that rdidn’t matter at all because Will and Zack answered all our questions and really worked to involve us and make it our own experience. Their knowledge of both the sport and the local waters was extensive and they used multiple fishing techniques to ensure the fish were biting. While we had multiple catches, the highlight for us was really the kite fishing we did which resulted in exciting catches of 2 trophy sized King Mackerel. We really appreciated the great customer focus provided by Don’t Tell Mom in creating a very memorable day for us and particular thanks to Zack for helping us land those giants. We highly recommend Don’t Tell Mom if you want a great sportfishing experience!
Great Adventure

5.00Booked this trip on short notice on a holiday weekend and Will made sure everything was set up on the day and time we wanted to work with. The crew Super Dave the captain and Zac the first mate made us all feel comfortable and had great knowledge of the waters and fishing in the area. We caught some King fish and a couple of Bonitas but the prize fish was the Mahi Mahi we caught using the captains chair to reel it in. A great time was had by all we took the Mahi Mahi home and cooked it that night. It was delicious. Looking forward to booking again.
Fishing trip for two was such a fun date for my husband and I
