Questions about fishing charters and guides in Pompano Beach

How much does it cost to go deep sea fishing in Pompano Beach?

8 Pompano Beach charters publish a full day rate on their own site, and they run $850 to $1,695 for the whole boat, with the middle of the range at $1,495. That is the boat for the day, not a price per person — split between six anglers a $1,495 trip is about $250 each. Shorter trips cost less; ask the captain, because fewer of them publish those rates.

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 20 of the 101 boats here run both, so a blown-out morning can become a back-country or bay trip. 6 of them publish a weather or cancellation policy on their own site — read the one belonging to the boat you book.

Back-country or offshore — which trip should I book in Pompano Beach?

They are different days on different water. 35 charters here list offshore only, 7 list inshore only, and 20 list both. Offshore means a longer run and bigger fish; inshore means calmer water, shorter runs and sight-fishing. The month-by-month table above shows which fish the fleet says are around when you are coming.

How long is a trip out of Pompano Beach?

Four and six hours are the lengths Pompano Beach captains list most often. The clock starts at the dock rather than at the fishing grounds, so the run out and back comes out of your time on the fish.

Do I need to bring rods and tackle to Pompano Beach?

No. Rods, reels, bait and tackle come with the boat on every Pompano Beach charter that says so on its own site — fly anglers are the exception, and usually bring their own.

Do Pompano Beach charters clean your catch?

Most do, at the dock when you come in, and a good few say so plainly on their own sites. As Big Game Charters LLC puts it: “Complimentary cleaning and bagging of your catch at the dock.” Whether it costs anything is up to the boat, so ask when you book.

What should I bring on a Pompano Beach charter?

Sun protection and your own food and drink. Food, drinks, snacks and water come up most often on Pompano Beach charter sites. As Benny's Fishing Charters puts it: “With us, all you need to do is bring your favorite food and drink.”

Are there family-friendly fishing charters in Pompano Beach?

38 charters in Pompano Beach mention kids or families on their websites. Ask the captain about children's life jackets, trip length and whether there's a restroom on board.

How do I book a charter or guide in Pompano Beach?

Call the captain or use their website. CharterFishingBoat doesn't take bookings or payments, and there's no fee to use the directory.

What should I ask the captain?

Ask what the trip includes, how long it lasts, how many people can come, what you're likely to catch that time of year, and the cancellation policy if the weather turns.

Where do state waters end off Pompano Beach?

Florida state waters on the Atlantic run from shore to 3 miles out; beyond that is federal water. Federal seasons and limits apply beyond it, and for some fish they also apply to federally permitted charter boats inside state waters.

When is the water warmest near Pompano Beach?

January through December, when the nearest NOAA station averages 83–96°F. It's coolest in January, around 83°F.
