Private Fort Lauderdale Inshore Fishing Charters
Overview
Experience Fort Lauderdale from the water on a private inshore fishing charter through the city's famous Intracoastal Waterway and backwater canals. Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale offers a unique urban fishing experience where productive waterways, waterfront homes, yachts, bridges, and South Florida scenery come together just minutes from downtown.
Depending on the season and conditions, target snook, tarpon, snapper, jack crevalle, mackerel, ladyfish, bluefish, and other inshore species. Your licensed local captain will customize the trip around tides, weather and current fish activity.
What makes this charter different is the opportunity to experience Fort Lauderdale's iconic waterways while actively fishing them. With rods, reels, tackle, and necessary safety equipment provided, this private adventure is ideal for families, beginners, and experienced anglers looking to discover a side of Fort Lauderdale that can't be experienced from the beach.
