Fishing Headquarters: Your Gateway to the Best Fishing in Fort Lauderdale

Why You Should Go

Let’s go fishing! Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler, Fishing Headquarters in Fort Lauderdale offers exciting daily fishing charters for everyone. From family-friendly reef fishing to thrilling offshore sportfishing, these trips combine breathtaking ocean views with the thrill of the catch.

Drift Fishing Tours

For just $65 per adult and $40 per child (12 and under), you can join the drift fishing tour. These trips head to the reefs just offshore, where you’ll reel in snapper, grouper, and other reef fish. Best part? You can even take your catch to a local restaurant where it’ll be cooked into your next delicious meal.

Sportfishing Trips

If chasing big game is more your style, hop aboard the 46-foot sportfishing boat. With half-day or full-day options (or book the whole boat), you’ll have a chance at mahi-mahi, sailfish, wahoo, tuna, and even sharks. Shared charters are $199 per person, or rent the boat privately for your group.

Inshore Fishing

Prefer calm waters closer to shore? The private inshore charters target tarpon, snook, barracuda, snapper, and grouper. Prices start at $875 for 4 hours, with longer options available.
