Posted on Google Michele RAugust 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish everything was amazing! Will the owner was very easy to get a hold of and we needed to connect a lot to get everything and everyone scheduled as we had a big group. So easy to work with! Our trip was amazing! Everyone caught fish and my son was the big winner with a shark that was 79 inches! What a fight! 💯Go with a mom & pop fishing charter! A huge thank you to Will’s first mate Michael!

Will954-522-9399 Michael SAugust 1, 2026Verified BIG Fish & Great Time Best off shore trip I’ve ever done, hands down! Capt. Will and Mike were super enjoyable and pleasant to be around for myself wife, 11 year old son, and myself during our 5 hour fishing adventure. They put us on some Bonitas, then used the bait to reel in 51” and 48” Barracudas! We topped the amazing trip off with an 8 foot nurse shark. You read that correctly, 8 FOOT!!! An amazing experience reeling that beast in. We will definitely be back from Texas to fish with Don’t Tell Mom again. Thanks Capt. Will and Mike!!

Will954-522-9399 Christian WJune 18, 2026Verified Absolutely incredible first experience deep sea fishing with Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing Our deep sea fishing trip with Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing was absolutely incredible! Captain Will and First Mate Zach provided a top-notch experience from start to finish. As first-time deep sea fishermen, we couldn't have asked for better guides. They were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire trip both fun and memorable. The fishing exceeded all of our expectations. We landed an impressive variety of fish, including mackerel, barracuda, a mahi-mahi, bonito, blackfin tuna, blue runners, and plenty of yellowtail snapper. In total, we brought in 18 fish, not including the many others we caught and released throughout the day. The excitement of reeling in so many different species, combined with the expertise and great personalities of Captain Will and Zach, made this an unforgettable adventure. If you're looking for an outstanding deep sea fishing experience, I highly recommend Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing.

Thank you so much, Christian! Zach and I had a great time fishing with you and your crew. It was awesome watching first-time deep-sea fishermen jump right into the action and put together such an incredible catch. Landing 18 fish and checking off so many different species in a single trip is something you'll remember for a long time.I truly appreciate the kind words about Zach and our operation. Our goal is always to make the trip fun, educational, and productive, whether it's your first time offshore or your hundredth.

Will954-522-9399 Jesse PJune 1, 2026Verified Great crew and fishing trip We came out to Fort Lauderdale primarily to go on a fishing trip with the opportunity to catch some exciting fish and not have to travel too far offshore to do so. What a great experience. Captain Will and Mike were great as knowledgeable guides and fishermen, as well as being great guys. We did a mixture of trolling and bottom fishing and combined to catch around 20-25 fish including a 53" amber jack, an absolute tank of a barracuda, as well as a really nice king mackerel. We had plenty of bonito and some snapper to keep us busy too. It was nice to have an indoor area to go get out of the sun periodically and use the head as well. Overall, we had a great experience and would go out with this crew any time. Thanks guys for making our trip such a special one.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It was an absolute pleasure fishing with you and your family! We're so glad we could put together a productive day with a nice mix of trolling and bottom fishing, and that the amberjack, kingfish, barracuda, snapper, and plenty of bonito kept the rods bent throughout the trip.Mike and I truly appreciate the kind words. We work hard to create a fun, comfortable experience for our guests, whether they're seasoned anglers or just looking to enjoy a day on the water. We're happy you enjoyed the boat's amenities and that the short run offshore gave you more time fishing. We're certainly very lucky here in Fort Lauderdale to have deep water so close to shore!Thank you so much again for choosing us, and Mike and I certainly look forward to fishing with you again the next time you're in South Florida! 🎣🐟Tight lines,Capt.
