Thank you Brandon! We really appreciate you leaving us a great review. It was an absolute pleasure fishing with you. Hope to have you guys back out again soon! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son and I have been fishing in Fort Lauderdale for over ten years, now whenever I come the only person I’m calling is Captain Will. He is a true professional and made us feel at home on his clean boat. His first mate Zack another great fisherman was also very calm and let us help if we wanted to, instead of just sitting and watching. The highlight of this trip is Zack pulled out the largest real and bait for us to try fishing the bottom, well it paid off and we managed to catch a 7-8’ nurse shark. After getting it near the boat and a few pictures, he reversed the hook out of the sharks mouth without harming the big fish and we watched it swim away. We caught plenty of fish on this trip but that was by far the most fun to real in. Thanks again Captain Will and Zack, see you soon!

Thank you so much for the great review Carter! We had a great time fishing with you guys. Please come back again soon. Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!

We really try our hardest to make our guests feel as comfortable as possible and tailor each trip to their needs and preferences.

Safety is always our #1 priority and keeping the boat clean and organized is something we work very hard at. We're thrilled you had such a great time fishing with us! It was awesome watching you guys catch so many different species of fish including that giant Nurse shark, which was definitely the icing on the cake. It was an absolute pleasure having you and your daughter on the boat and we can't wait to have you back. Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic fishing trip. Caught a few bonitas and a barracuda, and then hauled in a monster of a scalloped hammerhead, about 8.5 feet long. the captain, will and the deckhand, jack were both really nice people, very funny and generally enjoyable people to be around. Cannot recommend enough
