For sure coming back.Posted on Anthony FMay 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have to thank captain Mitch and mate Mike. They were definitely working to put us on the fish. Started a little slow that day but they kept working and it ended with fish in the box. Very enjoyable to be on the boat with both. Great day on the water. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience with Don’t Tell Mom Boat! The captain and first mate were fantastic, knowledgeable, fun, and made the entire trip exciting from start to finish. We had the adrenaline rush of catching and releasing a beautiful sailfish, which was absolutely unforgettable. The crew made everything smooth, professional, and enjoyable while still keeping the trip relaxed and fun. If you’re looking for a great fishing adventure with an awesome crew and incredible memories, I highly recommend booking with them!

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!

Thank you to Captain Will and also to Zack and Mike! We booked the 4 hour shared trip at 8 am for my birthday and it was so much fun! Everyone was so knowledgeable, kind, and funny. I ended up catching a rainbow runner, a mahi mahi, a lizardfish, and a bar jack. The other people with us also caught some nice, bigger fish! We all had so much fun and great time! I hope to plan on booking again. They filleted the fish for us that we were able to keep and will eat it tonight for dinner! I highly recommend this fishing guide if you plan on going on one near Fort Lauderdale!! Thanks so much again for giving me the best birthday ever! :)
