Fort Lauderdale Party Boat Fishing - Competitive Rates, Online Booking

If you're looking for a great fishing destination, look no further than Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Located on the southeast coast of the state, Fort Lauderdale is known for its world-class fishing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced fisherman, there's something for everyone in this beautiful city by the sea.

If you are visiting from out of town, you may not have poles or gear with you, or a Florida fishing license for that matter. Fear not! There are still opportunities to enjoy the amazing fishing that this area has to offer.

A private fishing charter would be the best way to learn the local waterways, as well as pick up some tips and techniques to get fish in the boat, but availability can be extremely limited, especially on short notice. This is where Fort Lauderdale party boat fishing comes in.

What is a party boat?

A party boat is typically a larger vessel that accommodates a large number of anglers. There are many benefits to fishing on a party boat. First and foremost, the boats are much more accessible than private charters. They are typically docked in a central location, making them easy to find. They also offer lower prices than private charters, making them an affordable option for budget-minded anglers.

But the best part of fishing on a party boat is the opportunity to catch new species of fish! Fort Lauderdale party boats typically head out to local reefs that are home to a number of species including amberjack, barracuda, and a variety of snapper and grouper.

Fort Lauderdale Shared Fishing Charters

Another affordable option to do some fishing Fort Lauderdale is via a "shared" charter. This is a typical charter boat that allows anglers to buy individual spots.

Similar to a party boat, you will be fishing with individuals or groups outside of your own, but these boats typically accommodate up to six anglers, making for a more personalized experience. You'll also have more time to speak directly with the captain, who can provide some valuable knowledge on techniques and the local area.

Although priced a bit higher than a party boat ticket, shared trips are still more affordable than a private charter if you're just a single rider, or a group of 2-3. They do not typically have the same level of availability party boats do, and may not be available on very short notice. Check out Fort Lauderdale shared charters here.

Whether you decide to fish on a party boat, a shared trip, or a private charter, one thing is for sure; there's no wrong way to experience the amazing fishing that this area has to offer!
