Miami Half Day Deep Sea Fishing Tour from Bayside Marketplace
Description
Welcome to The Reward Fleet, Miami’s Premier fishing attraction! Our vessels are US Coast Guard-inspected to safely conduct offshore voyages with large groups of passengers. Our 70-foot vessel "Another Reward" has an air-conditioned cabin, men's and women's restrooms, with full outdoor seating and walk around deck for your comfort. Enjoy seeing Miami from a different perspective as we head out to sea in search of a variety of species – snappers and groupers, amberjack and kingfish, with sailfish, tuna, and shark are a possibility. At times we’ll anchor and chum, sometimes we’ll drift while live-baiting, using dead bait, or jigging. We are the ONLY party fishing vessel that offers live bait, when available, at an additional charge of $20 per person, one per group. Of course, we cannot guarantee great catching. However, our crew will happily teach you how to use the equipment, untangle your lines, bait your hooks, and answer any questions you may have in Spanish and English.

Such a wonderful experience! I have no experience with fishing, and honestly, was very intimidated to do so. But the guides were very patient and helpful with easing into the experience! Would definitely book again.
Thank you for your review. It supports our mission of providing a special experience for our customers. We cannot make fish bite, but we can put smiles on faces! We will share it with our crew who will be delighted
While on board, the crew began heavily cleaning the boat and explicitly instructed passengers to move out of the way to the other side of the vessel so they could continue scrubbing. Doing routine maintenance and cleaning while clients are actively enjoying a paid experience felt disrespectful and disrupted the entire trip. Cleaning should take place after passengers disembark, not while we are still on board. Given that this significantly impacted the quality of our excursion I will make sure to leave a google review about that
I see your point of view. Cleaning the vessel while returning to port is standard practice, and before doing so asking the passengers to relocate for a few moments is what we have found to be acceptable for our customers. I am more than curious if just this item was worthy of a poor review for the whole experience? Was the crew friendly and attentive to all passengers? Was the boat acceptable? Did you enjoy the ride out and back? In fairness, when you leave your Google review it would be nice to show you can appreciate positive aspects as well as negative ones. Some people just love to be only negative! Captain Wayne Owner Reward Fleet
The ride was good, for the cost-benefit ratio. Fishing is not guaranteed but we did well.
Thank you for the fair review, I'm glad you had a good experience with us!
It’s an all around great experience, staff it’s friendly and service oriented, always helping and ensuring enjoyment and fishing success.
Thank you for the wonderful review! Our staff will be thrilled to hear your support and that their efforts are appreciated! Captain Wayne Owner, Reward Fleet
We came to Miami from Houston TX. I bought my 2 adult sons half day fishing trip. They both live fishing and loved the experience. They didn't catch big fish, but just the atmosphere, the staff, and the experience is something the will remember forever. Thank yall for giving them great memories of Miami.
Wow. Our crew will be delighted to see your review of their efforts. What more could we ask than to make great memories? How to see you again!
Our family had an incredible experience on the half-day deep sea fishing trip with Captain Bernardo! From the moment we left the dock, Captain Bernardo and his two first mates made everyone feel welcome. The crew was professional, friendly, and worked hard from start to finish. They were hands-on the entire trip helping bait hooks, untangle lines, remove fish, offer fishing tips, and make sure everyone had the best opportunity to catch something. Their positive attitudes and attention to everyone on board really stood out. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well organized, and the scenery out on the open water was beautiful. At the end of the trip, the crew even filleted and cleaned our catch, making it easy to take fresh fish home and enjoy. That extra level of service was greatly appreciated and really completed the experience. Our only complaint is that the trip ended too soon we genuinely wished it had been longer because we were having such a great time. It was absolutely worth every penny, and we would 100% book another trip with Captain Bernardo and his crew. If you’re looking for a professional, hardworking crew that goes above and beyond to make your fishing trip memorable, we highly recommend this charter!
What a wonderful review! I just screenshot your review to share with the crew! They will be delighted that their services were complimented and appreciated so much. Thanks again, Captain Wayne
Awesome experience—I highly recommend it! Even as a first-time fisherman, I had no issues at all. The staff was incredibly helpful and made sure everyone had a great time. The only downside was that the trip ended too soon! I was so excited to catch another fish when I realized it was already over. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Your review is greatly appreciated! I'm happy that your introduction to fishing was a positive experience for you. I'll share this with the crew who will be delighted and inspired to continue their excellent service Captain Wayne, Owner, Reward Fleet
My sister and I have used the reward fleet many times in the last 10 years. It is always a great experience even if we never catch anything. I have gone on day/night/weekend/soso weather/beautiful weather it is always a fun experience. It is also nice to see familiar faces throughout the years. The team is helpful at getting the fish on boat and rebaited up. “No bait no bite”
Thank you for your wonderful review! It's especially pleasing that you've been a customer for many years. I will share your compliments with the crew, who will be delighted! Captain Wayne
Trip never left dock because they cancelled the night before and I still have not received refund from Viator. Do not recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. We take reviews seriously to improve our customer experience. We have clear policies for short-notice trip cancellations and postponements. Please check your messages and emails as these are our options to inform the customer of changes. We had a mechanical issue that couldn't be resolved soon enough for your trip. I also assure you that Reward Fleet and Viator will expedite your refund. Captain Wayne
Nobody caught anything they could keep but the crew was nice...even tried live bait for $20 extra and not a single bite
Thank you for the honest review. Your impression is important to us as well as future customers. The good thing you mention is that the crew were nice! As far as the catching goes, its unfortunately not under our control. Sometimes they just aren't hungry, more or less like people. Mentioning you even tried the live bait and STILL had no action confirms that. Thanks again for a fair review Captain Wayne OWNER
