Great experience Jb and Mikey were the best
Awesome experience, caught a bunch of tuna and had a great time. Will and Zach were great
Thank you so much for fishing with us! I really appreciate the 5-stars and kind words. I'm so glad Zach and I were able to put you on some tunas, and even happier it was a great experience for you. Zach and I really hope to have you back out with us again soon. Please call us anytime! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399
Book NOW! I have been on half a dozen fishing charters in the past decade and this has been my favorite by far. Will and the crew provided the ultimate charter experience and made it memorable for me and my sons. The fishing was excellent, and they worked extremely fast to get our lines back in the water once a fish was caught. We absolutely will be booking "Don't Tell Mom" the next time we are in Fort Lauderdale!
Thanks so much, Tom! That really means a lot coming from someone who’s been on a bunch of charters. We had a great time fishing with you and your boys—nothing better than making memories out there together. Glad we could keep the action going and put you on some fish! That’s always the goal. We appreciate you choosing Don’t Tell Mom, and we’ll be ready to do it all over again next time you’re back in Fort Lauderdale—just give us a call! 🎣 Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399
Fantastic experience, got a monster barracuda a bunch of black fin tuna. Highly recommend.
Brendan, thank you so much for the great review! It was an absolute pleasure fishing with you. That was certainly an awesome trip—always a good day when we get a monster barracuda and load up on some blackfin tuna. Really glad you had a great time with us. Give us a shout next time you’re in town; we’d love to have you back out! 🎣 Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399
My sons and I booked a 4 hour private charter with Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing and we had a fantastic time. From the moment we met Captain Will and Mate Zack at the dock they were friendly and helpful. We were novices to ocean fishing but that rdidn’t matter at all because Will and Zack answered all our questions and really worked to involve us and make it our own experience. Their knowledge of both the sport and the local waters was extensive and they used multiple fishing techniques to ensure the fish were biting. While we had multiple catches, the highlight for us was really the kite fishing we did which resulted in exciting catches of 2 trophy sized King Mackerel. We really appreciated the great customer focus provided by Don’t Tell Mom in creating a very memorable day for us and particular thanks to Zack for helping us land those giants. We highly recommend Don’t Tell Mom if you want a great sportfishing experience!
Stephen, Thank you so much for the amazing review! It was a pleasure having you and your sons out on the water with us. We’re glad to hear that you felt comfortable and involved throughout the trip — that’s exactly the experience we aim to provide, especially for guests who are new to ocean fishing. Kite fishing is always a crowd favorite, and those trophy King Mackerel were an awesome way to cap off the day! Zack and I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. We’d love to have you back aboard anytime for another memorable day! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399
Booked this trip on short notice on a holiday weekend and Will made sure everything was set up on the day and time we wanted to work with. The crew Super Dave the captain and Zac the first mate made us all feel comfortable and had great knowledge of the waters and fishing in the area. We caught some King fish and a couple of Bonitas but the prize fish was the Mahi Mahi we caught using the captains chair to reel it in. A great time was had by all we took the Mahi Mahi home and cooked it that night. It was delicious. Looking forward to booking again.
Louis- I want to thank you so much for booking with us. I'm so glad to hear you had a great time fishing with Dave and Zach. They told me it was an absolute pleasure fishing with you and your daughters. I'm happy to hear you were able to catch a bunch of King Mackerel and Bonita. Landing that Mahi from the fighting chair and cooking it up at home must have been quite satisfying as well; there's nothing like fresh fish! We also want to thank you for taking the time to review our business. It really helps us out a lot and for that we are truly grateful! We really look forward to having you back out again soon. Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399
Fabulous day of fishing! My husband and I were almost detoured because of the rain and I’m so glad we went! We caught tons of fish and a shark! I will be booking with Don’t Tell Mom again next time - and take it from me it’s great fun for moms too!
Thank you so much for fishing with us! I'm so glad you and your husband decided to come out despite the rain. It was such a good time having you on the boat. You two were such a good crew despite the rain and rough seas. I'm so glad you guys were able to catch a bunch of fish and you first shark! Thank you so much for leaving us 5 stars and a wonderful review! We are very grateful for your recommendation and we can't wait to have you back onboard again soon! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399
