We did a 4 hour charter on our vacation to Florida and they did a great job taking care of us. We had great success, getting both a Mahi for dinner and a Sailfish! Will and Zach also were great at teaching our boys techniques and educating us on the different kinds of fish. Highly recommended!!

Lauren, Thank you so much for fishing with us! We’re incredibly grateful that you left us 5-stars and took the time to share such kind words about your experience.

Those are exactly the kinds of experiences we work hard to create for all of our guests. We really hope to have you back on the boat again soon! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399 P.S.

Desiree, Thank you very much for the five stars and your kind words. We truly appreciate you choosing to fish with us and your for your recommendation. We really hope to have you back onboard again soon. Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience was excellent. We caught a substantial number of fish and even used smaller catches as bait for larger ones. I had been skeptical about choosing the right charter, but Captain Will and his mate, Zach, clearly knew what they were doing and exactly where to go. We had an amazing time, and the entire trip was overwhelmingly positive. We will certainly be booking with them again.

Ben,Thank you so much for choosing to fish with us and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful 5 star review. It was an absolute pleasure fishing with you! Catching all those fish was truly amazing and not easy to do but that's exactly why we work so hard for all of our clients. We truly appreciate you and really hope to fish with you again soon.Tight lines,Capt. Will954-522-9399Verified Big Hammerhed I have been fortunate as I have been on many fishing charters in my life. California, Mexico, the Gulf , Keys, Alaska and the Caribbean. I have yet to meet a captain I did not like as they all try their best to get you some fish. All trying different techniques,baits, rigging and so forth until you start catching fish. Then when you start catching fish they stay with whatever you doing to keep the customer satisfied until the end of your trip. My day with Will on Don’t Tell Mom Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing was a very successful day and we were catching all kinds of fish and I would have been more than satisfied with our day of fishing. But Will did not just sit back and finish out the day like that. He then put kites out which is a lot of extra work to do to make an already successful trip even better. That certainly paid off as I then caught a 500 pound Hammerhead. As I said all captains are good and try to catch fish to keep you satisfied but Will did that and more. Give him a call first but if he is booked call someone else because they are all very good. Bob Williams

Thank you so much for the kind words, Bob—I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.It was a pleasure having you aboard, and I’m glad the day was already shaping up to be a great one before we decided to put the kites out. That extra effort definitely paid off, and landing a hammerhead of that size is something special. Experiences like that are exactly why I love doing what I do.Your perspective, having fished so many great places with so many captains, really means a lot. I’m grateful for the trust you put in me and for the generous recommendation.Hope to have you back on the water with us again someday. Tight lines!Tight Lines,Capt. WillDon’t Tell Mom Sportfishing - 954-522-9399Verified 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

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.

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. Will954-522-9399Verified Perfect day of Deep Sea Fishing Captain Will and Christina were awesome! It was my son’s 13th birthday and they went out of their way to make the day perfect. The normal plan is for them to do everything and the guests just reel in the catch, but because my son loves fishing they let him help with everything. Took the time to teach him about what they were doing and as he picked things up they continuously complimented and reinforced how well he was doing. The boat is great, the equipment is top notch, but their team is what makes for a great day!

Thanks for fishing with us Talan! Congrats again on that GIANT AJ. Watching you reel that fish in from the deep was a thrill! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review and we really hope to fish with you again soon!Tight lines,Capt. Will954-522-9399Verified Great Adventure Booked 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.

Louis-I want to thank you so much for booking with us. I'm so glad to hear you had a great time fishing with Dave and Zach. They told me it was an absolute pleasure fishing with you and your daughters. I'm happy to hear you were able to catch a bunch of King Mackerel and Bonita. Landing that Mahi from the fighting chair and cooking it up at home must have been quite satisfying as well; there's nothing like fresh fish!We also want to thank you for taking the time to review our business. It really helps us out a lot and for that we are truly grateful! We really look forward to having you back out again soon.Tight lines,Capt.

Thank you so much for fishing with us! I'm so glad you and your husband decided to come out despite the rain. It was such a good time having you on the boat.

I'm so glad you guys were able to catch a bunch of fish and you first shark!Thank you so much for leaving us 5 stars and a wonderful review! We are very grateful for your recommendation and we can't wait to have you back onboard again soon!Tight lines,Capt. Will954-522-9399Verified Last minute trip! Amazing! Where do I begin…the entire crew at “Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing” is amazing!! This was the first deep sea charter for both my Daughter and myself.Every interaction from the initial phone conversation to docking after the trip was extremely professional. Both Captain Will and his crew (First Mate Zach) constantly went out of their way to communicate everything to us. They kept us in the loop and well informed so that we were entertained but also, learned about the fish that we were catching as well as the ocean environment that they live in. These guys went above and beyond to ensure that my Daughter and I caught a variety of fish (Even a big Nurse Shark) and had a great all around experience!We loved the boat too! Very clean and comfortable and the crew was well equipped and had everything loaded onboard for a very safe and enjoyable experience!So happy that we found these guys and truly appreciate their honesty, hard work, expertise, patience and good sense of humor too! We truly look forward to the next adventure with these guys!!
