About Fishing Headquarters
Fishing Headquarters runs Fort Lauderdale's best-known party fishing boat from the docks on Seabreeze Boulevard, minutes from the ocean inlet. The flagship vessel is the largest and fastest drift boat in the city — and the only air-conditioned one — which matters more than it sounds on a South Florida afternoon when the sun is pounding the deck.
Drift fishing trips leave three times a day, morning, afternoon, and night, working the reef edge a mile or two offshore for snapper, grouper, kingfish, and whatever else the Gulf Stream pushes through. Rod, reel, bait, and tackle are included, and the mates bait hooks, untangle lines, and clean the catch, so complete beginners can step aboard with nothing and fish alongside regulars. For groups chasing bigger game, private sportfishing charters target sailfish, mahi, wahoo, and tuna in the deep water that starts remarkably close to the beach here.
The per-person format keeps the price of getting on the ocean lower than any private charter, which makes it a favorite for families, cruise passengers with a free day, and anglers who want to fish every day of a vacation without sinking the budget. Few operations put this many people on fish this consistently.
