Private Sportfishing Charters - Groups of 7-15 people

Often we would get a group of 7 or more people in a group that wanted to do a private sportfishing charter. Unfortunately, most charter boats in Fort Lauderdale are only licensed to take a maximum of 6 people. Because both of our drift fishing boats are licensed to take more than 6 people, we have converted the Mary B III over to run sportfishing trips. We stocked the boat with kite fishing equipment, heavy tackle for shark and marlin fishing, reinforced rod holders, live bait tanks, and trolling lures. She is fully rigged and ready for sportfishing charters and we’ve been running charters on her for about a year now.

The Mary B III, although originally set up to be a drift fishing boat, can take out groups of 7-15 people sportfishing. Everything is the same as the regular sport fishing charter boats, except she can hold more people. Kite fishing on this boat is actually easier and better because rather than fishing in only the small cockpit area you will on most charter boats, you will be fishing along the side of the boat. This means you will have a lot more room to work around in, and you can put out more baits.

For trolling, we are loaded with all the best lures and jigs available and our drift boat captains know the reef better than anyone because they fish the reef every single day. I hate to say it, but even if you don’t have more than 6 people you might want to charter this boat instead of a sportfishing charter boat. Sportfishing boats have one advantage and that is they have an easier time catching live baits. That’s why with the Mary B III charters, if live baiting is in the plan, I recommend pre-reserving some live baits. We can pick them up on the way out and $80 worth is plenty for the whole day. Other than that, the Mary B III is a great boat to charter for a private Fort Lauderdale sportfishing charter with your group of 7 or more people.

The following are prices for chartering the Mary B III for a private sportfishing charter:

15 people is the general number where rather than sportfishing, we will switch to drift fishing. It’s difficult to sportfish with more than 15 people on the boat but a drift fishing charter would be perfect with more than 15. This is a perfect fishing trip for birthday parties, bachelor parties, company get-togethers, team building activities, Fort Lauderdale spring break events, and large family vacations.
