I dont have but great things to say about this amazing crew. Ray was extremely helpful from the beginning when we made our reservation to the end of our trip. He gave us a lot of recommendations to make our day even more special and productive Captain Danny and Matt where Incredible, so friendly and very patient about finding the right spot for a good fishing day. They tried so hard to bring us some amazing fish like Mahi, barracudas and mackerel. My friends really enjoyed everything, a great experience to them while being their first time they meet with the ocean. A memorable day!
I went through Miami Charters LLC to try to make my 16 year old special needs sons dream of going deep sea fishing with me come true. Ray and all of his guys were outstanding and patient with my son. We caught plenty of fish and had a great time. We actually limited out on yellow tail snapper on our half day trip. On our full day trip we caught barracuda, Bonita, tuna, as well as some Mahi. I have been on a lot of excellent charters over the years but these guys really impressed me. Thank to all the guys at Miami fishing charters LLC and look forward to fishing with you next year.
Had an amazing charter with Miss Britt! The customer service began the day before with tips for sea sickness, parking and expectations! When we got to the boat, the team was so courteous and nice! Teaching, showing my younger son what was going on, and just being genuine! We caught some, not a ton, but it was an amazing day! Thanks Rob, Chino and crew!
Fished with my two kids (9 and 7) on the Miss Britt and had a blast. Captain Jason kept us on the fish all day and the two mates were great. They were also all great with the kids which was awesome. We will definitely fish with them again!
We had a great experience with Captain Jason and first mate Danny aboard the Miss Britt. There were 6 of us on the boat and all really enjoyed the experience. Caught quite a few black fin tuna. I can’t wait to go again! Highly recommend this fishing experience.
Capt. Ryan and Danny did a great job on a 1/2 day charter with my two boys (Ages 6 and 8). We all had a blast and will be out with them again. Thank you!
Great experience from beginning to end. Communication is active and clear. Top quality customer service and care throughout our deep sea fishing experience. Definitely a must!!!
Outstanding!!!When you go out fishing with The Marauder and its crew you are definitely in for an enjoyable experience! These guys are for real and they know what they are doing and how to keep it fun and exciting!I had never done this type of fishing before so I was totally relying on the confidence of Captain Todd and First Mate Carlos to show me how it was done, and that is exactly what they did! They did not overwhelm me with a lot of unnecessary information but were quick to answer any questions I had and their coaching throughout the trip was outstanding.After coaching me through a long fight with a huge sailfish, Carlos and Todd got him in the boat for a quick round of pictures. I was very impressed with the care that was taken to quickly return and revive the catch. These guys are truly professionals!Thanks again Captain Todd for a great experience, can’t wait for the next time!
3 of us went out for 3/4 Day on Miss Cheyenne with the young guns Captain Brian and his crewman Pete. They really worked hard to put us on fish! Charmaine was excellent to schedule the trip with and when the weather went bad the day of the trip Ray made it work for us the next day. Great experience and highly recommend! Capt Brian knows his stuff and made it a great day.
If anyone is looking for a charter these guys are the way to go. Setting up the trip was completely painless and very exciting! These guys knew exactly what they were doing and had us on fish all day. We had so much fun the entire time and would do this every day with these guys if we could! Definitely looking forward to the day we can join them again and do it all over.
Awesome time out with these guys caught Cobia and had plenty of food to take home! Knowledgeable Capt and crew.
Best fishing trip Ive been on. My buddy and I made a last minute decision to go Deep Sea fishing and we were fortunate to find Charlies charter company. They were very accommodating and willing to work within our schedule. In a few hours, we caught some really cool fish. We were really impressed with them and will definitely be back. Thanks again for making our trip so memorable.
Great trip, went with a party of 4, myself included. Steve drove the boat and Pedro helped us fish. Very knowledgeable, we caught four 40lbs Abacore in an hour! After, we got to bring the fish we caught to Mikes and eat it.They know what theyre doing and they went above and beyond to make our day great. Will be stopping by next time Im in Miami.
Earlier this week, my son an I had a truly great experience with Charlie Ellis and his team! Weve been on quite a few fishing charters between South Florida and Long Island and I must say, no one comes close to the level of service, the friendly approach to working with a young angler, and their efforts to maximize the catch for the day. David, all of ten years old, caught his first sailfish--an experience that will last him a lifetime. Charlie and his crew work in concert to ensure Davids success with the catch and in so doing help provide a wonderful -- indeed a once in a lifetime--experience. If youre looking for a great day on the water in South Florida, look no further, Charlie and his team will provide the best day for you!
Awesome Experience! Owner Ray made the trip transaction smooth and Capt Todd was the BEST! Guy found the fish in no time, super nice and very down to earth. If your in Miami, give em the call!
For my nephews high school graduation gift, my brothers and I chartered a boat for 2 full days with Capt. Jason and First Mate Steven. We had a great time and I would highly recommend Jason and Steven to anyone. Not only are they great guys but they did everything they could to make sure we had a good time and caught fish. We caught a Swordfish, Sailfish, several Amberjacks and multiple other fish.We had a blast!
Capt Gill was awesome. My husband and I went to Miami for our honeymoon and he made our first time deep sea fishing a great experience! My husband cought 3 red snappers and one grouper. Capt Gill even filleted them for us. So much fun and a beautiful boat to hang out on!
Had the absolute BEST day out at sea fishing with Capt. Todd and Capt. Charlie!! It was my first time ever going fishing and I wasnt sure what to expect - but WOW, they FAR exceeded all expectations I had! Naturally as a newbie, I had SO many questions and they answered every single one with such care and depth, its so clear to see how passionate they truly are about what they do. They coached and guided my friends and I every step of the way and showed us a variety of techniques, depths, and fish! I caught a huge Amber Jack for my first fish and they coached me the entire time - what a rush it was! We also caught multiple Sailfish, a bunch of Mahi, and a grouper. I honestly cant even say enough amazing things about this fishing charter or these two Captains - they are the best of the BEST, and I highly recommend them to everyone!
Charlies the man. Had a perfect trip. He wouldnt give up until we hooked a couple beauties. Perfect way to spend a day. Could not recommend more.
Hands down best fishing charter boat in Miami! Todd, Charlie and Carlos will put you on the fish. Went out last weekend looking to land my first sailfish and they delivered. Went 2 for 2 and had the fight of my life! Not only is this crew extremely knowledgeable, but they are great guys to spend the day with and learn how to fish offshore. Im looking to book another trip ASAP and would recommend these guys to anyone. You will have a great time, learn a lot and most importantly land some trophy fish you will never forget.
Hands Down the BEST fishing trip I have ever been on!!! Everyone needs to take a charter aboard the Marauder!! Capt. Todd & Capt. Charlie know exactly what they are doing & where they are going out on the open sea..Our day began with a HUGE Amber Jack catch & we proceeded to a couple different spots to catch a ton of dolphin, grouper & my DREAM CATCH, a SAILFISH!!! I have always wanted to fight and catch a sailfish, and Capt. Todd & Capt. Charlie made my dream into a reality! It was about a 30 minute fight & they coached me along every second of the fight..It was tough but they did not let me give up! It was a total rush & an item I was able to scratch off of my bucket list that afternoon! If you are ready to embark on the open waters for some amazing off-shore fishing, then please give Capt. Todd & Capt. Charlie a call & let them give you the experience of a lifetime! Thanks again Guys!
I am not much of a fisherman but my fiance loves to fish and always goes with captain danny we caught a bunch of fish and had a great time!
I booked a half day trip on my vacation in Miami, b/c it was a short half day trip I wasnt expected all to much but Captain Todd & Charlie blew me away! I had a blast kite fishing for sails. Non stop fun all day, I learned alot and had even more fun! I will return as soon as I can make it back to Miami. If you have a chance to fish with these guys dont pass it up! They are very knowledgeable and very personable guys.
I had the time of my life!!! Caught a MASSIVE sailfish. I couldnt have done it without the help of the crew, Charlie Ellis, Tod Malicoat, and Carlos. They are awesome and really cool, nice, knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely go back to Miami just for the fishing with the Marauder. They are awesome and I highly recommend them.
I went out on the Marauder with Captain Charlie and Captain Todd over the MLK holiday weekend. I had never been offshore fishing before this trip. I had a fantastic time! Charlie and Todd made a point to allow me to experience every aspect of what it takes to fish offshore from catching bait to casting a line to catching a fish. I would highly recommend Miami Fishing Charters to anyone who is interested in experiencing offshore fishing! Charlie and Todd are not only friendly and welcoming but also extremely knowledgeable.
Ive been on a few charters with Miami Fishing Charters and they are the best! Nicest most professional guys down here in Miami and youll always come back with the experience youve asked for. Last time I was on the Marauder I had a blast and we met our limit on mahi-mahi!!!!
So this guy Charlie is a real professional. My buddy Ryan and I went out for a half day not knowing what to expect and we ended up having a blast. Charlie worked really hard to get everything set up for us to catch fish and we did!! Four Sailfish one weighing in at an estimated 50LBS and Two Dolphin (Mahi Mahi). After catching our bait he looked for the current and luckily that day the wind picked up so he could fly the kites. Never been kite fishing before but it was awesome. Charlie was fired up every time a fish grabbed the bait. Very knowledgeable and worked hard to give us more opportunities to catch fish in between the fights we were having with the ones on the hook. When we visit Miami the next time we will spend a day with Charlie. Have fun - Jesse
Dealt firsthand with Ray and could not be more pleased. I would highly recommend this fishing charter.
Great boat, great equipment, hard working captain and mate. Caught sailfish, Tuna, Mahi and King Macs all within view of Miami Skyline. Great value.
We went with Miss Britt for my boyfriends birthday. The guys had a blast and caught some huge fish. Will do this again, thanks.
Had an amazing time with these guys! Very professional! And Honest very Honest!
My experience with Miami Fishing was enjoyable and rewarding. I wanted to catch fish and these guys were fully committed to that goal. For them, the trip was not a job; they loved being on the water and they loved fishing. Their enthusiasm was infectious.The boat was fully prepared and on time. It was well suited to all kinds of conditions, from flat water to chop to 5-6 foot rollers to the cross-currents of Government Cut. Charlie’s boat handling skills were superb, and were well matched by the superb fishing skills and teamwork of Todd and Carlos.In addition, they were affable, welcoming, and totally professional. Most importantly, they were relentless in their pursuit of fish. The payoff? A huge Cobia, a gorgeous sailfish and several beautiful mahi-mahi. Plus, a great memory!I highly recommend this team. I know I’ll be back.BrendanBoston, MA
Thanks for a great trip on the Hot Shot CaptSig and Tanner were the best at what they did we caught 4 sailfish and some mahi they were prompt and professional the boat was clean and spacious we highly recommend Capt Sig Hot Shot Charters
Fishing on the Marauder has been the best charter experience I have had so far! Captain Charlie and Todd are cool dudes, but most importantly they put us on the fish! Ive caught a boatload of mahi, a HUGE kingfish, and 30 lb blackfin on the three trips Ive made on the Marauder! These guys do it right, two thumbs up!
My buddy and I chartered a 1/2 day with Captain Charlie. It was my first time fishing in Miami and didnt know what to expect. When I say I was overwhelmed by the experience I am not giving it enough credit. Charlie was awesome, great personality and really knowledgeable about the area and fishing in general.Once we caught our bait we headed 2 miles out were we set up our kites (if you havent kite fished before you are in for a treat!!) By the time we got our fourth rig in the water, three of the four line had FISH ON!! The first couple hours we caught a bunch of 40 plus pound Sailfish and the currents must have changed because we were started landing Mahi Mahi left and right. Once we got back to the dock absolutely exhausted. Charlie sent us down the street were a restaurant called Montys cooked up our catch, blackened Mahi Mahi, Rice & Beans and a Pain Killer #3. Killer!!!. Best day of my Miami vacation by far. Next time I am doing a full day..Miami Fishing Charters hands down the best in the area.
March 27. 2015On the decided day we first bait fished and then we went out on the blue water. The weather and our mood were great, all that was missing was the fish and so. The kites were set and the fishing was going.After a short time we got our first bite and I started a fight with a big fish that went into the deep without showing it´s kind. Even Charlie was not sure of the fish, but no doubt it was huge. While I was fighting we got a bite on another rod and my wife was asked if she wanted to fight a beautiful Mahi Mahi. She had never tried fishing but was well guided by Todd and shortly after her first ever catch was landed.I continued a heavy fight and after about ¾ hour the fish finally came up to the boat. It was a huge Sailfish. After a few pictures of the fish still remaining in the water it was released. Charlie told me that the fish was too big and exhausted and probably would die if it came on board for a photo session. It seemed to me like a very respectful treatment of such a beautiful fish.The fishing continued with great enthusiasm and I managed to catch Mahi Mahi, Bonito and in a small pause also a Red Snapper before I had to fight another huge Sailfish. And this time there was no doubt. What a skydiver! It did several jumps and a marvelous tail dance. After another long fight the fish was finally released also without coming out of the water. I definitely agree it is better to spare the fish than to get a couple of pictures. Then the pictures onboard just have to wait for the next trip.Finally I caught a couple of huge Bonitos a large Barracuda before I ended the day with a Blackfin Tuna.Actually I thought we were done but no, Charlie had time for one last drive and we had not used all our bait. What enthusiasm!.Overall, I caught six different species, fought fish for probably more than 3 hours all guided by two highly competent and dedicated guys who were just as excited as I was.Finally, I can only quote Arnold Ill be backJoergen & Susan, Denmark
I have gone fishing with Capt. Charlie and Capt. Todd on several occasions and it has been nothing short of a phenomenal experience every time. We have caught sailfish, wahoo, mahi mahi, tarpon, kingfish, blackfin tuna, and a host of other species on these trips. These two Captains are passionate about fishing and will do everything in their power to make sure you catch fish and enjoy a beautiful day on the water. I have been fishing with other guides who count the minutes, focus solely on their costs, and demean clients new to the sport. These two are the complete opposite, as their genuine goal and focus is helping their clients catch a fish of a lifetime. The mate Carlos is also one of the best in Miami and it is amazing to watch him at work when the action gets going. Recommend the Marauder and its crew highly and will be fishing with them years into the future.
The Marauder is a Miami Florida sport fishing machine! This boat was built to do but one thing, and do it very well - FISH!!! I have fished with Captain Charlie Ellis and his talented mate Todd on multiple occasions and have always enjoyed a great time. I recently chartered the Marauder with my 11 year old son and Captain Charlie put my boy on a 45lb barracuda that was bigger than him!The boat, crew, and equipment are all top notch at Miami Fishing Charters and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a productive and fun offshore fishing trip in south Florida without breaking the bank. These guys get into Mahi-Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, Grouper, Kingfish and giant Swordfish with such regularity that they have truly earned the moniker Marauder of the Sea!Tight lines!
