Great experience. First mate, Joe was super helpful and very pleasant to talk to. Very satisfied with our evening fish, we opted out of the afternoon fish because it was just too crowded. Sonny tried his best to get us on the fish, we had a great time even though it was a slow catch.

Great fun! My friends had a blast w/crew members who are truly enjoy fish themselves. Plans for return sooner than later!“Pirate Thor”, a befitting nickname, is hilarious & equally experienced fisherman.

What an experience. This was our first time doing this. My son and I did get sick in the beginning so I would highly recommend (per the suggestion of the first mate)taking dramamine the night before and the morning of your trip. They kept checking on us and we finally snapped out of it. Im so glad we did because my son loves fishing and he got to reel in a Mahi Mahi and that is what he is really going to remember from this. The captain and first mate were top notch. Cant wait to come back out and try this again.

They do have a short trip out to fishing spot. The boat only had like 15 people on it . Fished for 3 hrs or so and managed to catch 2 fish in our group of 6. Only people that caught fish to keep were people that had their own rods and got to get first spots on the boat rest of us were put in the middle of the boat.First the guys on the front caught fish the whole time. Then at the end only the guys at the back caught fish .rest of us in the middle watched . Never did the mate or captain switch the gear or baits up to try to give aisle excitement. Fished the same spot over and over never moved us to any place else. Asked for different gear or moving and pretty much shrugged us off. So my point is a boat ride is what you will get . Certain people get top spots to fish and the rest get to stand and watch. My opinion is to make efforts for others and not cater to just a few.

Beautiful morning, great views… overall ended terribly. Crew mate was fighting with women and even pushed and shoved her many times.. took her phone and watch- both of them were struggling to gain control of the items.. They were yelling at each other… most unprofessional and uncomfortable situation I have ever been in. DIDNT catch a single fish in 4 hours - instead had the privilege of listening to arguing.

The beginning : Miss Rebecca answered the phone and books the trip. She was always sweet, professional and always followed through.The experience: The famously famous Captain Sunny - he’s knowledgeable, funny and considering we went hone with a cooler full of fresh caught fish, the man knows the manic spots to hit, no disappointments there!First mate: ANTHONY!!!! This man is an inspiration to anyone that is searching for their passion and happiness in life and knows it’s never too late! He was funny, entertaining, extremely knowledgeable and hard working.We went on the best night fishing trip we have ever been on and not just because we went home with a cooler full of fish, but we genuinely feel like we meet the most genuine and kindest people, we can’t wait to go back!!!

I had a great time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. People that gave bad reviews probably dont realize that just because your out on a boat doesnt mean your always going to catch fish. If I ever come back again I will go back out with them. I would also like to send a shout out to the deck hands on the boat. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. There were a few kids on the boat and they did a great job of making sure they were having fun. Awesome time!!!!

Review №14

The trip was awesome! My kids loved it. The only issue I had, which wasnt a big deal was that with the amount of people on the trip our lines were constantly tangled which took out of fishing time. It would have been nice to have a few less people who we could have spread out more. Other than that, Ryan was an amazing and super helpful guide.

Review №15

One of the worst fishing trips I’ve been on. Boat was small and not nice looking. Captain was drunk. They cram everybody next to each other and it’s so tight you can barely straighten out to be able to reel the fish in. 4 hours the whole boat maybe caught 5 fish. Not a great experience.

I have been on tons of boats and let me first start of by saying Joe is hands down the best mate their is. Matthew is great putting us on top of fish and his mother Rebecca works the phones / manages the captains, fishing reports and is a sweetheart.Josh is another mate who is amazing and truly knows what hes doing.Captain Tommy will definitely put you on fish too.

I paid for a 4 Hour boat ride. We caught nothing but Triggerfish all day and like 3 Vermillion snappers. The mate has a really bad attitude problem and offered me some advice when I didnt immediately change what I was doing and take his advice he called me a know-it-all. And proceeded to ask me how many days I fish a year and that he fishes six days a week. By that I believe he mean baits other peoples hooks. As a captain and mate your job is to put fish in the box and make sure your customers have a good time which they failed to do.

Absolutely amazing experience. I have done charter after charter and none of them gave me the experience that the Flamingo did. Helpful, and knowledgeable deck hand and captain. I will definitely be returning. We had a lot of bites last night but for the people leaving bad reviews THE CREW CANT CONTROL THE WATER CONDITIONS OR THE FISH BITE. Maybe if you get sea sick so easily dont go on a DRIFT charter? In other words, Deckhand Scott definitely deserves the most recognition. Very high energy and knowledgeable. Kept everyone entertained even when the bite was slow early on. Highly Highly Recommend checking out this charter. Well worth the money.

Review №29

A wonderful day out for families! My family and I went out deep sea fishing on a Thursday. The weather was beautiful, so even though the fish werent biting much (the 20 folks on the boat caught 4 fish altogether), we had a blast enjoying the beautiful Ft. Lauderdale ocean and the sun. Our host Joe gave great instruction about what to expect should we get a bite, and helped provide guidance for reeling in the fish. Although Im sure Joe & the Captain are excellent fishermen, they were even better at making all the guests feel at home and comfortable. Although there are plenty of options for fishing charters, I would not hesitate to return to Flamingo Fishing on any future trip! The boat was big enough that our sea-sick prone members didnt feel too icky, the bathrooms were clean and served their purpose, and we had the option to BYOB or buy beer on board.

Went on an AM trip with Captain Tom and First Mate Ryan. The weather was rainy and choppy but we decided to go out anyway. Tom and Ryan made what could have been an unpleasant trip, because of the weather only, into an extremely fun time. They were courteous and professional and very outgoing and funny. Everyone had a great time and they made it so we felt like we were fishing with long time friends and not 20 strangers. I go out on many headboats but the Flamingos staff was hands down the best. I cant leave out Becky and her rescued injuredbaby iguana in the office. So welcoming and polite. They made a few customers for life that day!!

We all had a nice day our on the water and enjoyed learning how to fish. Casual atmosphere aboard the ship with an approachable and knowledgable crew. The boat is not new but it ran well. Chad kept things moving safely and smoothly. We sailed with our infant and other small children and it was no problem. It was easy to book the outing, competitive pricing, no charge for the really small kids unlike other places.

Review №40

The crew were very friendly no issues booking in advance. Despite the fact that very few fish were caught on our trip, the captain was clearly trying as he went to several points to try to drop to find fish. I have been on some charters that only hit 2-3 spots, we hit 6 in our 4 hour trip with Flamingo. Our deckhand was knowledgeable, entertained questions, was good with the kids who came aboard. Theres never a guarantee youll catch anything when you go fishing, what matters more is the character of your crew. And this crew has character.

I’ve been going fishing on this boat for years I love the constancy of the customer service on the boat and the captain really tries to put you on the fish. Great for the family very clean vessel. I recommend the morning trip for families & night trips for the avid fisherman.

Review №42

I made the mistake no reading the reviews before booking this trip... we arrived 30 minutes early as for any fishing charter we’ve fished on... customer service is horrible... I shouldn’t even call him the captain of the boat... so we’ll call him the ignorant grumpy fisherman asked “where our poles were.” And has told us “that’s okay you can use ours” I didn’t know we could bring our own tackle..? F bombs and the worse customer service I’ve ever experienced on a fishing charter.... Once we got out on the water... the ignorant grumpy fisherman caught 2 fish and got tangled into another fisherman’s line... I thought if you’re the “captain” you payed attention to the fish finder and let us know where the fish were.. but I didn’t read on the website where the ignorant grumpy fisherman driving the boat was allowed to fish too and catch more fish. The list goes on but I wanna let everyone know...SAVE YOUR MONEY.SPEND IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.HORRIBLE SERVICE.

Our trip was awesome! We took six kids and ended up with five fish. The boat ride was fun enough for our kids and the fishing was a bonus.

We are out here on a late vacation and decided to give the Flamingo a try even with reading some of the negative reviews. Total of 5 in my group including 3 children.

Going on the flamingo is just part of growing up in South Florida. Gets you out to where the big ones are. If you are visiting the rods provided are adequate. May help to bring your own kingfish jigs and a few ballyhoo if you want to catch a larger fish. Caught a nice little blackfin tuna on a 1/2oz feather white/red kingfish jig and ballyhoo this last trip.Just make sure to arrive on time and listen to the captain and mate, this is a fishing boat!

Review №52

The worst experience in my life.It not my first time on the boat,but its was so rough sea,that no one could stay in one place and do fishing like we supposed too.Half of the ship was sea sick,trow up in very dirty and smelly which made things even worst because it wasnt safe to to that outside.No one came even to offer help or any pill for sickness and I almost pass out.And no one on the boat catch the fish in 4 hours.They cared only to take money and get rid of us,which I dont think is fer and they should refund our money for that awful experience.Highly recommend to stay out of this tour

Ive gone out on several trips with the Flamingo, and every one of them has been great. This is the cleanest head boat Ive ever been on. The mates and captains are all very professional and friendly. The owners are some of the nicest people Ive ever met. And the fish cant hide from the Flamingo! Cant wait for my next opportunity to go out with this crew!

We had a great time! The crew and some of the regulars helped us out with tips for rigging and fishing techniques. Fish were biting that day (Wed August 30,17), although the fish are not to be considered reliable or willing participants. It was a great time and I recommend it to anyone experienced or new at this.

Review №56

First off the crew is very friendly deck hand Garrett is very friendly and good with kids, that being said I’ve gone on this charter two times now and each time I have yet to catch a single fish, both times the charter had about 20+people and combined I would say only 2-3 fish were caught. As for the captain not only did he show up late during both trips out and since he was late we were shorted on our time(this was a morning trip and the captain was 20-30 minutes late both times) but did not seem to care where we actually went during the 4 hour trip we stayed in roughly the same location for the entire duration of the trip, i understand you can’t control the fish and how they bite but if they are not biting in one location move somewhere different. I was very disappointed in this charter and will not be going back again.

Review №57

We had a great time on our evening fishing trip. We were there early and got to hear some of the deck hands stories. This all added to the excitement of going out fishing. We did not catch any of the big tarpon that these young men were talking about. They were catching these off of a pier earlier that week. That was OK though we did catch a lot of fish. Nothing huge but i was lucky enough to win the pool with a nice blue fish. Cory and his friend Geronimo were great to fish with and listen to their stories. Would recommend this group to anyone!

We had a fantastic time aboard the Flamingo for there night trip this past Saturday. Captain Smiley put us right on the Snappers. His mate Ryan was very helpful bringing our rods onboard for us and was very attentive to helping us bring in our fish. Between the 4 of us we caught enough fish to feed 10 people the next day at a dinner party. When I called to book our trip the woman on the phone was super nice and directed me to the best time to catch the fish I was looking for. The ride in and out was fantastic we were very lucky it was slick calm and cool on our ride in and out I was happy that I had my light jacket:-) They had snacks and drinks for sale on board.We would definitely come back thank you!

What a great day we had. A great captain and crew took out our party and were so helpful to both the experienced and inexperienced fisherman in our group. Garrett and captain Tom along with the new mate. We all caught multiple fish and even missed a few more. They filet em up for us and recommended a place to get them cooked or ways we could cook them. We caught kingfish, Bonita and trigger fish. The guy next to us caught a tuna. Thanks again.Gary turner

Went on 2/21 PM trip with a friend, Charles Dollar. Met Will, a regular on the boat who we became immediate friends with. Jay, the 1st Mate and the Capt were fantastic. Caught a triggerfish and an orange colored snapper. The BIG excitement came with 10 minutes left in the trip when a fare hooked into a HUGE sailfish. Man, it almost emptied the reel spool. Captain had to back down on it! Got it to the boat. Jay the 1st Mate estimated 6-7. And then, one swipe of its mighty bill severed the line and off he went into the deep.Would definitely recommend the Flamingo. When I get back there in February 2018, I will be right back on the Flamingo!!

HORRIBLE BOAT TRIP!!!! It is VERY SAD that you go deep sea fishing and the Captain cannot have any of us on board catch a single fish!!! 4 Hours of WASTED TIME just to drift in the Ocean!!! Only one of their workers caught a fish with their own special rod! The other 60 People were BORED TO DEATH with NO FISH!!!! I wouldnt even call him a Captain but rather a Pathetic Boat Driver just collecting our money and wasting our time!!! Time to RETIRE THIS CAPTAIN AND BOAT!!!! Dont waste your time on the Flamingo Boat, find a REAL FISHING BOAT AND A REAL CAPTAIN!!!!!

Review №64

Catching or no catching, it wouldn’t bother me. When I pay for any services, I expect great customer service. The day we boarded, it seems like half of the crew were regulars and knew the captain and Joshua (the guy that instructed us how to fish). I think he got too comfortable and lacked customer service. It started to rain and he said he don’t fish in the rain so he went inside and layed on the bench to play with his phone. He wouldn’t make room for a customer to sit so the customer had to stand up. A customer made a joke about the captain and he got an attitude. I think he was more out there for himself and the money than to help others out. A good business delivers good service but this one, very unprofessional. They need a better fishing guide.

Brought my 9 year old daughter on the afternoon of 3/11 as a birthday present. Joe, the first mate, was fantastic. He immediately made her feel special and made sure that everything that we needed was taken care of before we had to ask. We did catch 4 fish, 3 were keepers that day. We went out again with Joe on the Flamingo the following morning. The exact same treatment and just as enjoyable an experience, despite some rain and wind and leaving without a fish that day. This was, without question, the best fishing experience we could have asked for. I am certain that well be back when back in town.

Stay away unless you want to spend your time snagging and untangling lines instead of catching fish! Very bad experience and didn’t catch more than a few small fish. Nice people and good price but don’t expect to catch many fish. There were 40+ people on the boat and there is no way to give attention to the customers with one mate. Will never use them again or recommend them to anyone. Really very disappointed.

Walking around on holidays and decided to go fishing for the first time. And boy o boy am i glad my friend and i walked away from this one. Everything looked to be good, walked up to the ticket booth and was greeted with, god f**king damnit, not again! Literally turned heel and stepped away. Instead enjoyed an amazing afternoon with Catch My Drift!! The mates exuded southern hospitality, very helpful and full of info; and it was only a 10 min walk away from these Flamingo clowns.

A friend of mine bought 4 tickets on groupon and when we called to reserve, we were told that those were not valid when it was clearly stated on the groupon before purchasing that they were valid tickets through December 6th for 4 tickets.

Today 7/24/15 Me and my family tried this charter. Not really a good day for fish and not a lot of fish caught but I tell you what. If I am in Fort Lauderdale again I will book another trip we these guys. They went out of there way to ensure my wife and girls had fun. The captain was fishing next to my wife and got a good fish on his pole. He gave her the pole with his fish and helped her reel it in. In my book he did not have to do that but that was the only fish she caught. Big Plus. Second there was a drunks on board and was very loud around my girls. The Captain did not know that he was that loud until the boat docked and his help told him. I was not going to complain but the Captain came out to our car to say sorry for the drunk and if he would have known sooner him would have taken care of the problem. Second Plus. These guys are good people working hard so your family have a good time. Book with them.

Review №75

Ive never written a one star review before, ever, so this says a lot. Stay away! I dont understand how this shows up as a 4 star place given all the negative reviews. The captain was straight up rude and the mate was slightly less rude, as he liked to remind you constantly that he works for tip before even explaining anything. They also had the gall to fish themselves, of course with a better rod and trailing behind the boat when it was driving, and then tell everyone, see, theres lots of fish (lets be clear, your rods obviously are not as good, you are drifting vs. running your line with the boat on, and using dead bait). Did I mention that despite having made reservations via the phone, the desk person didnt even have it. And on top of that couldnt add so it took literally 10 full minutes to explain why 36+36 = 72 (group rate) and no, we werent short changing him. We just know how to add. I hate leaving bad reviews but I have never ever seen such terrible service across the board. Its shocking they are in business. But it seems, it totally depends on your captain and mate.

YOU WILL NOT CATCH FISH ON THIS CHARTER!!! I Consider this more like a boat tour. You can drink beer and listen to music on the water. It was nice but if you have intentions of catching fish to take home, this is not the charter to take.

They informed everyone (after we paid) that we picked the wrong day to go out because the the night before was a full moon. Two days before and two days after a full moon are not good days to go fishing. However the captains family/friends caught fish using different bait and fishing at a different depth than the paying customers. Also dont fish in the middle fish from the front or back of the boat.

I would give them 0 stars if I could. The captain & his crew mate were drunk. Couldnt understand what they were saying due to them slurring their words!!! Didnt catch a dam thing. He took is out we drop the lines the lines would get all tangled up with each other. Didnt know how to position the boat with the waves. He would move us tell us to drop the lines than not even 3 min later tell us to pull them up we were moving did that a few times then said we were leaving period. The other people on the boat were disappointed as well. Waste of $$$$$

Horrible fishing trip, the crew hustle you for more money for a pool which is impossible to win. also the crew has live bait but only for themselves. You would think they would give us live bait but no... they hooked our lines with old sardines. did not enjoy at all dont not spend your money here. The only great thing about the fishing trip are the homes along the cost.

I booked a trip and got cancelled twice with no notification. I had booked it with over a week in advance. The first time was because not enough people showed up, and I asked why I wasnt notified and was told it was because people cancel last minute. So I was allowed to reschedule, which I did. When I showed up the next time I was told they had a private charter so I would have to reschedule again. I gave up on them.

I brought my family to Fort Lauderdale on vacation. One week is not enough time to see everything this city has to offer. One excursion you must take your family on is Flamingo Fishing. I took my two children (5 & 8) and had the best time. Joe and his crew did everything they could to make this experience as enjoyable as possible. He spent a ton of time with my son showing him how to fish properly and made the entire lesson fun. We pulled plenty of fish out in the short trip. After looking at the pictures of the trip, my wife was jealous she didnt go.This was the highlight of our trip.

Had a great time of the Flamingo today (June 27,2016). The boat was clean and the captain and deck hand were friendly and accommodating. The weather changed on us and caused some problems on the drifts and some lines got tangled, but thats fishing. I hooked onto a big king mackerel, but lost it at the boat, disappointing, but again, THATS FISHING. I recommend this charter without any hesitation or reservation.Bryon E. from Modesto, CA

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE WITH THESE RUDE, SELFISH, NASTY, CARELESS PEOPLE. WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD . ANYWHERE. PERIOD. I booked a reservation with them this pass Friday for my husband birthday . Everything is going according to plan I called, scheduled, they accepted my voucher and our 4hr fishing trip was booked. WELL, heres Friday and my husband and I show up ready to board (mind you Im surprising my husband for his bday so hes clueless) . This guy looks at me and sayswhat do u need?, were bot going out tonight and walks away from me. I said exscuse me? He says too many ppl canceled so we decided not to go . WTH IM HERE !?!? long story short they forgot to call me and tell me they canceled, didnt Express any apology, couldnt care less,didnt offer to give me my money back I had to stalk groupon like it was my damn fault, basically laughed in my face. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER DONT MAKE THIS MISTAKE, THERE ARE PLENTY OTHER PLACES TO GO.

My husband and I went on the the 21st of Feb, we thoroughly enjoyed it. I caught 4 fish before I got horribly seasick unfortunately. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. I want to do it again, only I will use Dramamine nxt time.

Flamingo Deep Sea fishing company is top notch. My wife and I travel with a small dog every where we vacation, Flamingo Deep Sea fishing charter was the ONLY fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale FL, that allowed us to bring him on board. The lady at the front counter went above and beyond to help us and make our trip enjoyable. The boat alone is awesome we got to see how the 1% of wealthly people lavish. Joe the mate was very helpful to everyone and friendly everyone loved him. The kids on board our charter got to catch some barracudas which was very exciting for everyone. This was the best deep-sea fishing trip we highly recommend taking if youre with a pet and in Fort Lauderdale Florida. The captain took us to 3 different fishing locations where there was sunken ships and fishing was plentiful. Overall it turned out to be an amazing deep Sea fishing trip.
