Fishing trips may be taking a back seat to fine restaurants and pulsing nightlife, but Miami fishing charter boat captains are still enjoying steady business. With the Gulf Stream so close, anglers can enjoy a fishing expedition catching grouper, tuna, dolphins, kingfish and more.
So, if you’re planning a Miami deep-sea fishing experience, try checking out the area’s top four marinas - the Crandon Park Marina, Haulover Beach Marina, Miami Beach Marina and the Bayside Marketplace. Each offers something a little different and a wide range of captains and ships to choose from.
Miami Crandon Park Marina
The Crandon Park Marina is home to some of the best charter boat captains and fishing guides in the area. The marina has an international reputation for Miami fishing charter boat companies that offer high quality service and guaranteed catches. It’s located at 4000 Crandon Blvd, and charters typically cost around $700 for a full day or $500 for a half day.

Haulover Beach Park
Head down Collins Avenue in Miami Beach and you’ll find the Haulover Beach Park Marina just steps away from the infamous Haulover Beach nudist beach section. Perhaps its the area’s proximity to the Gulf Stream, but the Haulover Marina is home to the largest drift and charter fleet in South Florida. You can also call ahead at 305-947-3525 for recommendations and fishing updates.
Haulover Beach Marina is busy, with numerous boats to choose from, but recommended charters include the Helen C, Haulover Charter Company and the Kelley Fleet.
The Miami Beach Marina
The majority of boats docked at the Miami Beach Marina are private vessels, but there are a number of private fishing charters. Recommended captains and fleets include Miami Beach Charters, the Reward Fleet and the Sissy Bay.
To find the Miami Beach Marina, just take a stroll down the MacArthur Causeway or call them at (305) 673-6000.
Bayside Marketplace
The Bayside Marketplace is known for its relaxed vibe and hidden treasures. If you’re tired of the high rates and competition at nearby Haulover Beach and Crandon Park, Bayside Marketplace is the place to go to find new captains, great deals and a friendly experience.
Average Costs
Typically, a small Miami fishing charter boat will cost between $450 and $500 for a half-day tour, providing you with everything except your food and drinks.
However, if you’re on more of a budget, you can book passage on a group boat for about $30. Many of these boats also offer a 50-50 plan, where you can sell or take half your catch, while they sell or take the other half.
