Fishing in Miami, Florida

Miami is a world-class fishing destination where the Gulf Stream runs closer to shore than almost anywhere else on the U.S. mainland. The deep blue water begins just a mile or two off Miami Beach, making it one of the quickest rides to big-game action in the country. Biscayne Bay and the flats to the south provide outstanding sight-fishing for bonefish, tarpon, and permit.

Fishing Charter FAQ for Miami

What fish can I catch in Miami?
Miami is famous for its sailfish fleet, with kite fishing producing consistent catches from November to March. Year-round offshore species include mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, kingfish, and swordfish. Biscayne Bay offers tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, and redfish on the flats. Reef and wreck fishing produces mutton snapper, grouper, and yellowtail snapper.
When is the best time to go fishing in Miami?
Miami fishes well all year. Winter (November-March) is prime sailfish season and excellent for swordfish. Spring (April-June) brings the tarpon migration and dolphin runs. Summer offers great mahi-mahi, snapper, and shark fishing. Fall is a transitional period with a mix of everything as sailfish begin returning.
Do I need a fishing license for a charter in Miami, FL?
No. Florida does not require passengers on a licensed charter boat to carry individual fishing licenses. Your captain's charter license covers everyone on board, whether you're fishing in Biscayne Bay, the reef, or offshore in the Gulf Stream.
