South Florida Overnight Fishing Charters

South Florida offers some of the world's premiere off-shore fishing. Because of the area's close proximity to Bimini and the Bahama Islands, many professional sport fishing guides offer overnight charters.

  1. Where to Go

    • Bimini Island in the Bahamas is 42 miles from Fort Lauderdale.

      The South Florida region boasts a wealth of overnight fishing charter operations extending from West Palm Beach, to Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Many fishing charters make runs to the island of Bimini in the Bahamas. Just 42 nautical miles off the coasts of Fort Lauderdale and Miami, these islands are the most popular destinations for overnight charter trips.

    What to Expect

    • Journey to your overnight fishing spot in an air conditioned cabin cruiser.

      Guests can expect air-conditioned cabins and fresh water showers on overnight charters. Each charter vessel offers different trip packages, which allow guests to select a meal plan if they wish. Packages also offer fishing tackle rental, although guests are free to bring along their own specialty rigs.

    When to Go

    • Dolphin, tuna and wahoo migrate through South Florida during spring and summer.

      South Florida's climate affords comfortable weather year round. The average annual temperature is 82 F, with an average low of 75 F in the winter and 89 F in the summer, which makes the climate optimal for optimal sport fishing year-round. The migrating patterns of many sport fishing species bring them into the South Florida region during the spring and summer months, so fish are especially abundant this time of year.
