Enjoyable Sport Fishing Spots And Charters Around Fort Lauderdale
By Trevor Price
Planning a Fort Lauderdale sport expedition? The city and its surrounding areas offer anglers both deep sea saltwater and freshwater fishing. So, whether you want to go bottom or drift-boat or take a deep sea charter, the city and surrounding area has something for everyone.

Because sport is so popular in Fort Lauderdale, you won't have a hard time locating a charter boat or guide company. However, for the most current information on prices, quality companies and pier locations, try the resources below.

The IGFA (International Game Fish Association) - World Center

The World Center, run by the IGFA (International Game Fish Association) is an incredible 3-acre park, museum and library that's also home to a virtual reality sport simulator. Anglers can practice reeling in a computer-generated catch, browse the library resources or even find a list of recommended local guides and charter companies.

You can reach the IGFA headquarters at 1-954-927-2628 or contact the World Center directly at 1-954-922-4212 or online at igfa.org. The library and museum are open daily from 10 am to 6 pm.

The Hall of Fame Marina

The Hall of Fame Marina, on Seabreeze Boulevard, is full of captains and charter companies, all clamoring for your Fort Lauderdale sport business. Going down to take a look lets you inspect the boats in person, develop a rapport with local captains and often garner a better price.

Fort Lauderdale's Pier 66

Like the Hall of Fame Marina, the Pier 66 Marina is another hot spot for some of Fort Lauderdale's biggest

and best charter companies. The marina can be found on SE 17th Street or by phone at 954-525-6666. Again, ask your hotel concierge or the IGFA for a recommended boat and captain.

Hillsboro Inlet Charters

Trusted by Fodor's, Frommer's and Forbes Traveler, the Hillsboro Inlet Charter Fleet has built a strong reputation for high-quality charters that get results. The company has over 12 vessels, each specifically designed for pompano, sailfish, marlins and even shark. To make a reservation or an inquiry, contact them at (954) 943-8222.

What You Can Expect to Pay

For bottom fishing, most boats charge about $40 per person for a 4-hour trip and will typically include reel, rod and bait. For private charters, expect to pay around $350 for a six-person, half-day trip and about $600 for a full day adventure.

For the frugal fisher or those looking for a quieter Fort Lauderdale sport experience, pier may be the way to go. Places like Pompano Beach, Lauderdale by the Sea and Deerfield Beach all offer piers that range from free to $5 for a full day of use. Rod and reel rentals are also available.
