DONT LOOK ANY FURTHER!!! First off this boat is incredible, clean and set up to catch anything! We had Pete at the wheel and Hunter as 1st Mate. These guys were extremely informative, hard working and just flat out know how to catch fish! They also worked great together. We started trolling and hammered 3 at once catching a couple Bonita and a Black fin Tuna. Once we had some fish in the boat we switched up to the big gear and bait. Hunter knew exactly about how long it would take and Pete got us exactly where we needed to be. At darncloseto exactly the hour mark...Boom here we go hooking up 2 Hammerhead Sharks! We will never forget this experience and will definitely be back! If youre looking for a charter, this is the one!
Words truly cannot express how incredible our fishing charter was with Chasin Finz! It was an experience our family will never forget. Everything was top notch with life long memories, pictures hardly do it justice, just amazing. Captain Pete and the fishing master Hunter were both unbelievable. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this charter!
As a Hollywood Beach Concierge, I love working with Captain Josh and his crew. They always show my guests a great time. They are professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The last couple I booked on Chasing Finz a couple days ago caught a six-foot hammerhead shark. They were thrilled, especially since this was their first fishing trip ever!! Kudos 🙌
Amazing experience and would definitely do again! Captin Tony and Ryan were very polite and knowledgeable. They guided my boyfriend and me while reeling in fish while the other tackle was still in the water. They had multiple lines in at all times using different tactics to lure in the fish. Our favorite part, we caught a shark! 🦈 Highly recommend these guys for a great time!
A truly talented captain with an amazing crew! Capt. Josh and mates, Mason and Justin, put us right on the fish, shared a wealth of knowledge, and went out of their way to make sure we had an unforgettable experience! I will definitely be back and highly recommend Chasin Finz sport fishing charters. Hooked up with 4 sailfish, landed 3 of them. The fishing trip of a life time!!
More like chasin tips. Despite us not catching a single fish, captain hunter practically begged for a 40% tip on top of what we were already paying. A 40% tip and we didn’t even touch a rod for the four hours we were out there. I’ve been on plenty of fishing trips so I understand it’s not uncommon to come up empty handed, but it was incredibly unprofessional to demand we tip more than the standard gratuity for that kind of experience. And in the future don’t mention tips every 5 minutes. We’re out there to fish and have a good time, we’ll worry about your tip later. It’s also not pleasant when he’s cursing out his deckhand the entire time as well. Wouldn’t book again.
Josh and his shipmate Justin were great! They were friendly and informative and answered all questions that we had about anything that I could think of. The boat was incredibly clean and my wife was happy to use the restroom which I know is a concern for a lot of people. We recommend them to anyone that wants an enjoyable day On the ocean!Ask about jigging a ship wreck... badass!
My girlfriends and I booked a last minute charter with Chasin Finz and we were so happy we did! Capt Josh and his crew offered excellent customer service, super polite, extremely accommodating especially after one of my girlfriends got seasick (weak stomach) an hour into the trip. We caught a bunch of fish, got tipsy, no one fell overboard and got back to the marina safely. It was an incredible experience, we will be back!! Dont hesitate to book your charter with Chasin Fins! Totally worth it, you cant put a price tag on quality service and everlasting memories!
Amazing trip!!! Captain Josh and his mate were super friendly and accommodating to my friends and I. And thankfully the weather was beautiful. To top it off the interior is very clean and updated and we just had a great time. Can’t wait for our next trip! Thank you!
The captain Josh was great! We were able to book same day due to a cancellation. Caught five tuna within 20 minuets after we dropping lines in. Boat was nice and clean. Had a great time. Will use Josh from now on because of the great experience!
Captain Josh was able to accommodate a short notice trip for me and it turned into a very memorable afternoon. Went out and caught several black fin tuna and a large wahoo. Was a great trip and the captain and crew are very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend taking a trip!
Had a last minute chance to spend some time on the water with a group of 6 and called Chasin Finz. Captain Josh had same day availability and we were able to get a 4hr slot. After a short time of having lines in we were able to start getting some fish in the boat. Very professional and clean boat. Would highly recommend and we will be using him again.
Captain Josh and first mate Justin were excellent. We called the night before, got quickly booked and had a fantastic time on the water. It’s a big 62 ft boat, well equipped and handled the waves well. We caught 10 fish (Bonita, king fish, and a barracuda) and barely missed a gigantic barracuda that bit the line. All in about 2.5 hrs (takes about 35 min to clear the bridges on the intercoastal). It was a great time and have already recommended them to other friends. We have already talked about when we are coming back for a longer trip. Oh, and Josh cleaned all our fish on the dock and gave great recommendations where we could get the fish cooked in town. It was delicious!
Big boat good. Fishing for 2 hours instead of paid 4 not so good. 1 hour of actual fishing. Out to the Ocean then reverse back to harbor. Expected at least them to at least try a little. Deep sea Ocean in our dreams. No bites no fish just makes it horrible. But then only two then one pole was casted. Waste of money. Yes the sea was not calm, but smaller boats stayed fishing. While ours was trying the harbor waters out. I paid $300 for me and my wife. First it was was a lower 145 per person price when I booked the trip. When we showed up price changed. I dont feel like we deserved this on our vacation!
Our 4 hr charter was only 2hrs of fishing, 3 of 5 of us caught fish, and the guy actually chased me down to say I didnt tip enough. Your tip was based on your service. I have been on several charters before, and I do know exactly how it works. I have never left a negative review before. Not a great experience. Will never give our business again. ***Update, captains private response:The bad reviews that I do have are from shared trips that think they can show up to the boat without having reservations. Anyway good luck on your next charter seen to be that you find a problem with all of them. Seems to me you are just a miserable person and looks like your family think so as well ***What a class act. Family, including my wife was all dissapointed, and they were tipped $100.00.
Josh and Ariel were great! Ariel kept the lines clear of seaweed to make sure we caught some good ones. We caught some great fish, the captain walked us to the restaurant next door where they prepared our fish for a great dinner, thanks guys!!
Terrible customer service. Called to book a full-day fishing charter and was told I would receive a text with details of where to meet, what to bring, where to park, etc. Never received a text. Called back to verify that we were booked, no answer. With absolutely no confirmation or contact with the company after our initial conversation we were forced to go with another charter and they decided to charge us anyway. After calling back to speak with whoever dropped the ball on this one, I got hung up on and now they refuse to answer my calls. Boat looks nice, but whoever is managing the bookings is wildly unprofessional and incompetent. If its your first time in the area and are looking to book a trip I recommend looking elsewhere.....(response to owners rebuttal below) defending yourself over a Google review rather than dealing with a customer complaint in person is indicative of your communication skills. I never received a text on where to meet. You didnt return my phone call when I followed up with you later the same day I booked. I must have mistaken your call the next morning for the captain that actually gave me directions on where to meet. The attached photo is a screenshot from the only communication I had with this company after I gave my payment information. Note the time at 8:34am for an 8am charter. Also note he doesnt even identify himself in the text.
First time deep sea fishing and it was great and they were very nice friendly funny and helpful I’d 100% go again if I could
We went once on the boat and had a wonderful time. We have since bought a groupon to go again and have tried calling to schedule a trip for 2 months. Every time told Josh would call back and he never does. He has now blocked our calls. I will never give him my business again.
Gave us a great day on the water for a good price and even filet the fish for you, highly recommend booking a trip with them.
Charter that was booked month in advance and was not honored credit card was given to hold the charter, showed up to location of boat no one was there captain would not answer calls after hours of trying. Left us with no boat to go on for a bachelor group paid for fuel to get there and a motel for this charter. Its 3:40pm and still no word from the captain or anyone and the boat was supposed to be leaving at 8am. What a waste of time and money for nothing... very dissatisfied with the way this was handled very unprofessional.
The captain Josh showed us a great time on the charter. And the crew was excellent (Justin). We had our two girls, 6 & 8 and Justin was very interactive and kept them included and they had the time of their life! We cought huge fish and Josh cleans a fillets them for you when departing. Excellent experience!
Josh and his first made gave us a wonderful experience. We had a ton of fun and caught some good fish. If you’re in the Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale area, go see captain Josh!Luke & Family
Josh and Justin put on some fish quickly. It was a good day of fishing and they were very accommodating. Would go again the next time I am in the Miami area.
Josh and his mate provided our group with an amazing experience and fun catches, we had the fish we caught for dinner that evening, which Josh cut up for us👍😊
Great experience. Big boat that handles waves very well. Capt and first mate were chill and super helpful. They did everything they could to get you bites. Walked away with 6 kingfish after only 1/2 day of fishing! High recommend Chasin finz.
Josh is a young hard working captain. He cares about his business and his clients. Works hard to put fish In the boat even when they are not trying to bite. His boat and gear are top of the line. Very comfortable and luxurious . Do not think twice about choosing another boat to fish on.
Booked this charter a month in advance for a bachelor party. Drove 2 hours over, hotel, the whole bit and all for a no show. Wouldnt answer the phone, after a few calls he turned his phone off. Wish I could leave a zero star review.
The captain and mate are in their early 20s and run the business like as such. Im sure they are more focused during the week. No more fishing with them on Sundays after they had a late night on Saturday.
Called and tried to book. Once I said I have groupon I was hung up on. I called back numerous times with no answer! Dont waste your time!
Captain Josh and Ariel were Rockstars, caught really nice King Fish! Thanks Guys :)
The fishing trip was awesome I couldnt ask for better time I highly recommend booking a trip with him! His crew is professional and he will get you on the fish! Great experience!
Didnt show up and wont answer phone.
The captain Josh and Ariel were great worked hard to get us some nice fish!!!Would use them again for sure!
Great fishermen great time and would recommend to anyone
Poor customer service. Arrange trips and then cut off communication just to charge you later. This is not how I planned to spend my vacation.
First time deep sea fishing and will definitely be coming back. Laid back awesome experience.
Captain Josh is very experienced and his crew is awesome. They have always got us on the fish.
Was out with Josh this morning. The gear was well kept, the fish were biting and we had a great time. The guy knows what he is doing.
Josh really new what he was doing and got us on fish really quick and the fish kept biting. We had a really enjoyable time and would recommend using Chasin Finz next time we go to florida.
I caught many fish, such as a killer whale
It was amazing, that’s all I can say
Captain doesnt care about customers. Goes out even though conditions are bad. Check forecast for yourself and decide if its worth the day.
We booked a charter for this morning, and no one showed up. They didnt answer their phones, and never called back.
Terrible customer service.
Save urself
