Half Day Kids Fishing Trip

I don’t have words to express how amazing Capt. Ozzy and Yari were. We felt like we were going fishing with friends, they took care of use, prepared everything for the kids, were super knowledgeable about fishing. My twins told us that this was their best Birthday present ever. Thanks again Yari and Osvaldo, keep up the amazong job!.

Rochester, Michigan

3 Hour Bay Trip with Captain Ozzy

Took my high school daughters and nephew. Their first time to go fishing other than a small pond. They loved it. Next time in Miami we will definitely do an 8-hour reef trip with Captain Ozzy.

Kids Bay Fishing

We had a great time with captain Ozzy and his crew. They were great with my son and got us on plenty of fish. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trip with their kids!

Florissant, CO

We will definitely do this again and you should too!

Capt. Ozzy and Yari were amazing hosts and guides. They made Michelle and I totally comfortable fishing even though we have very different skill levels! We caught 9 different species using both live bait and lures. The action was non-stop and they even helped guide us to an amazing lunch after the trip. We WILL be back to fish with them again soon.

Rochester, NY

Great trip in every way!

We had the best morning boat trip. It was raining here we started but captain Ozzy used his radar to go around the small storm and gave us extra time. They are the nicest couple and so kind and down to earth. We saw so many sights and caught several fish. We brought some home to cook up. I highly recommend them! Great experience in every way!

Bedford, NH

Kids Fishing Trip with Captain Ozzy

My family had an amazing fishing trip with captain Ozzy and his first mate Yari. Not only did we catch many fish species, but we also saw multiple other creatures including manatees, an iguana, and a tortoise on the way to the bay. Other highlights were the dolphins in the bay and the dive bombing pelicans. This family friendly trip is easy to recommend to anyone.

3 Hour Kid Friendly Trip

It was my son’s first boat trip so I figured 3 hours was enough. Next time I know to choose the longer trip! Captain Ozzy and his wife Yari were both amazing and very patient. They were just as excited as my son and made it comfortable for us! If you have kids this would be a great option! Even if you're looking for an adult trip! We will be back soon!!

Bay Fishing Trip

We had a wonderful time with Captain Ozzy and his wife! It was more than we expected. Both of them were amazing and patient with us and our kids. Everything was supplied and they were very knowledgeable on all the types of fish we caught. My husband and I are already talking about booking our next trip to Miami and making sure it includes another ride with Captain Ozzy!!

Tampa, Florida

Great Fishing Experience for Kids

I wanted to take my 7-year old nephew out for his first fishing trip in Miami. Capt Ozzy and his wife Yari were absolutely the best - they handled all the equipment for us, taught my nephew how to fish, and had us both laughing the whole time. I highly recommend booking your next fishing trip with them, especially if you have little ones that you’d like to create a memorable experience for.

New York, NY

Kids fishing trip with Capt. Ozzie

Our family had an amazing time fishing with Capt. Ozzy! Strongly recommend it. He’s very knowledgeable, helpful and nice. Knew the right spots to go to and we caught so many different species. The kids (and parents) really enjoyed it. Will book again.

Wonderful 1st Time Fishing with Kids

My friend and I took our 8 and 6 year olds on their first fishing trip and had such a blast! Ozzy and Yari and not only experienced fishermen, they are great hosts and so good with kids - showed and explained everything, made the kids feel like they were in charge, and at the end we had at least 4 meals (for family of 4) worth of yellowtail snappers. I highly recommend them for fishing, they are sweet and genuine people, the boat is clean and sturdy.

Boynton Beach, Florida

Great Fishing, Great People, Great Times

Captain Ozzy and his wife took my Dad and I for a day of fishing we will never forget. They are the nicest, most down to earth crew, making everything fun and relaxing, and we could tell that they just cared so much that we caught fish and had a great time. We caught over 10 different species in just a few hours. Absolutely awesome experience that I will be back for again. If you’re looking for a great fishing trip around Miami - Ozzy is your MAN!

Stamford, CT

March Fishing Trip

My mother and I always go on a fishing charter when visiting new places. Finding a good captain and crew can be a challenge, but you don’t have to look any further than Captain Ozzy! Not only did we catch a ton of fish, they made the experience fun with their great sense of humor & easy going attitudes. If I could hire them to be our guides in every city, I would hands down! You’ve chosen wrong if you don’t choose Captain Ozzy

Kellogg, MN

Half Day Total Blast

Went on a reef fishing trip with my 2 kids (11-6) and it was an amazing time! Ozzy and his wife were all around great hosts and extremely knowledgeable about everything.

Miami, Florida

Union City, NJ

Great Experience!

We had a half day trip with a late start, weather was decent, captain is very knowledgeable about the area and where the hot spots are. We had a great time, we’ve been on a few larger charters with not the same level of attention and definitely not catching anywhere near the same amount of fish. We highly recommend Captain Ozzy and we will definitely look him up the next time we want to go fishing!

Colorado Springs, CO

Amazing Fishing Day!!!

Ozzy and Yari where amazing with our kids , they are so kind and loving This was the first time our kids went fishing and we couldn’t have picked a better crew to go with ! Ozzy and Yari were amazing teaching them with love and patience we had the best day! We catch many different species of fish and we took one home that the kids enjoyed at dinner ! Ozzy was so kind that he even clean it for us to take home! We are definitely going back on a fishing trip with them and I recommend 100% to anyone specially with kids Thank you so much again Ozzy and Yari !!!

Diego De La Puente

Captain Ozzy and Yari were the BEST fishing guides we could have possibly found! They were very knowledgeable and attentive to every aspect of our trip.

They made sure my 13 year old boy had the time of his life. They took us out on the bay to catch a huge variety of fish. We caught about 9 different varieties of fish of which some were released and some we kept for dinner that evening.

We only brought sunscreen and some snacks, Captain Ozzy provided everything else from licenses to music and a cooler of ice for our catch.

Captain Ozzy made sure to teach us how to cook them and even filleted them at the dock. My son caught a beautiful lion fish, which of course we couldn’t keep since we learned how invasive that fish is to the reef ecosystem, but just the incredible amount of information we learned about lion fish and all the others from Captain Ozzy and Yadi was amazing!!

We enjoyed learning all about the scenery and buildings in the marina as we made our way out to the bay. We also appreciated both Ozzy and Yadi setting our hooks so that we didn’t feed too many shrimp to the hungry fish below.

This was our first trip to Miami as a family and I won’t hesitate to book Captain and Yadi the next time we visit. We look forward to returning the favor by teaching Ozzy and Yadi all about Ice fishing on the frozen lakes of Minnesota!

What an Experience!

Couldn’t ask for better hosts or fishermen! Captain Ozzy and Yari were not only extremely personable, but they knew where to find fish. Even on what they considered a slow day, we had non stop action for hours. An absolute tremendous experience for my 3 boys and I. Caught enough Yellowtail and Mutton Snapper for multi meals which by the way was fantastic! We choose the 3/4 day reef fishing excursion. I highly recommend it if you’re interested in catching a wide array of fish. I think we ended up catching 10+ species that day. The next time we’re in Florida you can bet we’ll be booking another trip with these two!

Roseville, CA

Half Day Trip with Captain Ozzy

Captain Ozzy and His first mate Yari were absolutely the best!!! My girlfriend and I are total beginners and she was afraid of getting seasick. He catered the trip to make sure we were well. We caught a lot of yellow tail snappers along with a variety of other fish. We even caught a huge shark which was too big for the boat. Captain Ozzy and Yari are knowledgeable fisher people and the boat was kept amazingly clean during are trip. 100% you can’t go wrong booking with them.

Syracuse, NY

Reef Trip 4 Hours

This trip was so fun and worth it! The meet location was easy to find. The trip from the where the boat is docked to the ocean is such a nice ride through the city! Captain Ozzy & partner Yari are the nicest people with great vibes! They are both local to Miami and had plenty to educate us about! We saw dolphins, a manatee and we’re SO blessed to see a sea turtle. Yari was nice enough to take pictures, capturing some great moments of us, then air dropped them all to me at the end!! Captain Ozzy took us to some of his favorite spots with views of Miami & Miami Beach. Ozzy and Yari both took their time to provide education to less experienced members on board. We caught yellowtail, snapper and some others. It was relaxing and thrilling to be aboard their boat! After, Capt Oz filet our catch and recommended a local restaurant where we could it eat it! It was an awesome way to end an extraordinary day. I highly recommend these guys! Anyone can take you out on their boat, but these people truly have a passion for fishing and that really shines in their work.

Christopher K

Englewood, co.

It was a Blast!

It was a great pleasure to meet Captain Ozzy and his wife (first mate). They just know what they are doing and make you feel comfortable from the start. The guidance and support throughout the trip was outstanding. The equipment on the boat is top notch. I highly recommend this booking to anyone. Next time I am in Miami, I will definitely come back to them. Thanks again for the great service. I hope you were able to warm up quickly after the winter temperatures. :-P And last but not least, I was able to catch a total of 16 fish.

All the best to you. You are really a great couple that provides super service!

Fishing in Miami

Miami’s sportfishing potential is often overshadowed by a myriad of other famous attractions and activities. It shouldn’t be. This is one of those sublime fisheries you probably didn’t know you’ve been missing in your angling portfolio.

The moment everyone’s favorite migratory pelagics make these waters their own early in the spring, Miami fishing charters can easily rival any of the hottest Caribbean big game counterparts. Come fall, and all an angler needs to do is slightly adjust their tackle, as the city transitions into one of the best reef and bottom fishing destinations in all of Florida. Oh, and there’s also some spectacular fly fishing to be done during the spring and summer months. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

1/2 Day Trip

This trip is fishing for monsters. The targeted species are Cubera Snapper, Goliath Grouper and Sharks. This is the ultimate big game trip next to Sword fishing which I offer as a day trip. This trip is about focussing on catching huge fish hanging around ship wrecks. The bait consists of whole fish with the average bait weighing around 5 pounds. The gear used are big game set ups, butt rods, 50 or 80 Penn International 2 speeds spooled with 100 lb braided line, followed by 600 lb test leader to 400 lb wire leader, ending with two giant 18/0 hooks. The trip is aboard, Posiedon, my new 36’ Yellowfin center console. This boat is the ultimate in offshore, big game boats. Powered with triple 275 hp Mercury Verados, it is very fast and handles like a Lamborgini. Yellowfin is hands down the sexiest center console ever made and they haven’t changed the hull design in over a decade. The sexy hull design pushes water away from the boat making it very dry as water rarely ever comes over the rail. The hull design also provides a stable base for handling the roughest Seas. The tricked out lighting includes 6 blue underwater lights making it epic for night fishing. The brand new computer systems consists of 2 completely independent systems. The first is a 12” Garmin chart plotter with radar, GPS and a fish finder that will tell you what type of fish it is at 2000’ deep! The second system is a 12” Raymarine chart plotter with 4’ open array radar, GPS, adaptive autopilot and fish finder with side scan sonar. The Fusion BT sound system will keep the tunes and good times going. There is a head on the boat for girls and emergencies. Captain BrYan has thousands of marked fishing spots on the computers and is offshore at night about 3-5 times a week. His extensive knowledge of the Ocean, Haulover Inlet and the Intercostal Water Ways will keep you safe in any situation. The Miami Beach skyline is epic at night from a boat. There aren’t too many places in the World where you can deep Sea fish a couple miles from shore and see such a beautiful city scene. Fishing for monsters, offshore, at night in the open Ocean while enjoying the beautiful view of Miami is something all fisher persons must experience. Captain BrYan has everything you need, just bring your food and drinks, beer and glass bottles are perfectly fine too! There will be bottled waters in a cooler with ice for you on the boat. Usually Sharks are catch and release with the average fish weighing over 300 lbs. If you want to harvest a Shark that is legal, then please let Captain BrYan know prior to the day of the trip. Shark cleaning fees start at $50 and go up depending on size. Goliath Grouper is catch and release only, unless you have won a tag from FWC in the annual drawing. If you have one of these tags, please let Captain BrYan know when you book the trip. Cubera Snapper are delicious and can be harvested. Complimentary cleaning for Cuberas under 20lbs, fish over 20 lbs are $25 each to be cleaned. Vacuum packing service is provided for an additional fee to be determined depending on size of catch. This trip is for everyone, especially children and beginners! Read More

Night Monster Fishing Trip-Cubera/Goliath Grouper/Shark

Deep Dropping is definitely the method of choice if you are looking to put some delicious table fare in the box! Deep dropping is a newer style of fishing and the fishing grounds are still pristine, this is b/c deep water locations are usually way offshore and difficult to get to in most place, not Miami though! The beauty of Miami's offshore waters is that they are so close to the shore. A mere 30 min boat ride and you floating of hundreds of feet of water. With Captain Bryan to help rig you up, you'll drop cut baits down hundreds of feet to hook into some delicious bottom fish like Black belly Rose fish (your main target), Tilefish, Warsaw Grouper, and others! The other mysterious thing about Deep Dropping is that you never know what you'll pull up from the bottom of the deep blue! Captain Bryan provides all the fishing gear you could possibly need for a successful day's deep dropping including cut bait, tackle, and fishing licenses. All he recommends that you bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, and a desire to haul some tasty fish up from the deep blue! The price includes Captain, boat, fuel, live bait, dead bait, fishing licenses, all necessary tackle, bottled waters and ice. Feel free to bring any food or drinks you want.

Whether that's chasing Swords, kite fishing for Sails, deep dropping for Tilefish, jigging, or bottom fishing!

So if all else fails, which is rarely the case, Captain Christopher will make sure you get back to the dock with a cooler full of fish! Captain Christophers' brand new Dusky Center Console is 29 feet from propellor to bow. The whole front of the boat is a padded lounge area, making this charter great for families and avid fishermen alike! Not to mention, she comes loaded with everything you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water from rods, reels, and tackle, to fishing licenses, ice, soft drinks and water! All you need to bring are some snacks and your shades, Captain Christopher will take care of the rest! One note is that you will get bait after meeting at the dock. You and Captain Chris can try and go out and catch the bait yourselves but it is also available for purchase. Captain Chris likes to tell his clients: "If time is of the essence, rather than burn time messing around catching bait, there are plenty of guys selling bait as we leave the dock and the 20-40$ is often well-spent cash head straight out to the bigger fish." But like everything else with Captain Chris, the decision is up to you! Read More

I am an avid angler and outdoorsman. I grew up fishing for anything that swims but really cut my teeth fishing for trout, chain pickerel, bass, and bullheads in my teenage years. Since then, I've lived across the country and have really taken that passion for fishing to a new level.
