We love what we do and fish at a tournament style pace during every single trip. We run the boat hard, fish hard, and work hard. Our reputation means everything and we are dedicated to showing every group how exciting sport fishing can really be. There are less expensive charters out there but these business models place an emphasis on saving fuel, bait, and getting back to the dock.
Our approach is just the opposite. We punch it to where we need to go and use whatever techniques necessary to put you on the fish. Depending on the conditions and time of year, we kite fish, wreck fish, troll, sight fish, deep drop, and more. We have fine tuned every technique and mixed top of the line equipment with an experienced crew. This allows us to to catch fish by doing what's necessary, not convenient. We push our crew and boats to the limit, all while maintaining a positive atmosphere and teaching you along the way.
Sportfishing is always met with different variables. Winds, currents, and weather patterns are constantly changing. Our charters take these variables into account while simultaneously considering customer preference. We target every species in Miami including tarpon, sailfish, snapper, sharks, mahi-mahi, swordfish, snook, kingfish, tuna, and marlin to name a few.

Reviews
Capt Ryan and Dylan made our first time deep sea fishing and my 30th birthday perfect. Everything was wonderful and we will be back. They don't have a 5.0 for no reason. We all felt satisfied with our day and they can clean a fish QUICK. Dylan is the goat and you should 1000% request him.
Me and my son had a blast with captain Chris and Dillon! The “Double Threat” was a great boat that was well maintained! They put us on the fish immediately as we caught a large sailfish and a 42 lb wahoo! We caught about 30 fish in total and many different species! Captain Chris and Dillon were patient with us and I would give a 10 star review if I could!
Great and amazing experience. We did an inshore trip with Captain John and caught a 9ft shark. He took us to many great spots and everyone on the trip had a great time, caught huge fish and will be back. Highly recommended.
Been on my fair share of charters hunting for the right trophy, and Captain Ryan absolutely delivered!!! First mate worked his tail off, and Double Threat Charters delivered one of the most amazing fishing experiences of my life! Tip these boys well regardless, they deserve it for the work they put in every day...but Captain Ryan got it done even on a slow day where others gave up. DO NOT book anywhere until you try Double Threat...p.s. Asked the Cptn to fillet, and where he'd go...believe him and go to Monty's, the blackened and fried with beer on side is an experience everyone needs to have.
Great Boat, Great Crew, Great Time!
A group of friends and I recently went out on a full-day offshore charter with Captain Nick and his first mate Kristjan. It was a blast! The recently renovated boat is clean, comfortable, and smooth riding. Nick put us on the fish immediately and Kristjan had us hooked up within minutes. We had close to 10 Mahi in the boat within the first 15 minutes of fishing. Even on a day when there was a lot of competition on the water, Nick and Kristjan put us in great spots for landing quality fish. They worked hard all day long to find fish and get us hooked up. It was a great trip, and I recommend them to anyone who is wanting to catch some fish in the Miami area!
Professional charter boats and tournament fishing teams place great emphasis on the quality of their bait fish. Success often depends on it. Fresh and lively bait can mean the difference between catching that “personal best” or going home empty handed. Here are a few ways that you can mirror the most successful boats, and some things ...

Our Captains
We will put you on the fish.
Captain Nick Gonzalez
As the son of a pilot, Captain Nick Gonzalez grew up traveling and fished in various locations from the Outer Banks to Hawaii. Nick has caught nearly every species in the Atlantic and has a wealth of knowledge about the sportfishing industry. He has a young face but has spent over 15 years fishing in Miami's waters as a recreational angler, professional mate, and captain. Nick captained the Blue Yonder (his first boat) during many tournaments and managed plenty of first place finishes. He takes a tournament style approach to every charter with intentions of out-fishing the fleet every day. His passion is contagious and he enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. Over the years, Double Threat Charters has been featured in Marlin Magazine, InTheBite Magazine, Florida Sportfishing Magazine, Coastal Angler Magazine, and more. During 2018, Captain Nick received the distinguished honor of Top Release Captain for Atlantic Sailfish as well as Top Release Captain out of all the Charter Boats in South Florida. At just 25, he was the youngest captain to ever receive these awards. During 2019 he repeated this honor by tagging the most sailfish out of anyone in the Atlantic. When Nick isn't fishing, he is usually writing for different magazines or doing freelance marketing.
Captain Kristjan Must
Kristjan grew up in New Jersey spending his weekends chasing striped bass, blue fish, flounder, and just about any cold water fish he could get his hands on. He always knew that there was more in the world than cold weather and crappy fishing so after graduating from college with a degree in nuclear engineering (he's way over qualified for this job), Kris joined the navy. He spent 6 years on tour while traveling through Asia and the Middle East in a nuclear submarine. After serving his country Kris made a big move to sunny South Florida where he could pursue his lifelong passion of fishing in a tropical climate. He settled down in Miami Beach where he began chasing tarpon, snook, and sharks from his kayak (yes, a kayak). He built a very strong local presence while targeting these exotic species on a small boat with light tackle. Before long he dove head first into the charter fishing scene where he began working with some of the best captains in the industry. Kristjan is a well rounded individual and capable of tackling just about any obstacle when it comes to boat work, photography, graphic design, and more. He's great with people, witty, and it's always nice to have a mechanic onboard.
Captain John Prahl
Captain John Prahl is a fourth generation Miami native. He has over 20
years of experience fishing in the backcountry of Miami, Florida. He grew
up fishing the waters of Miami’s Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys, Dry
Tortugas, Flamingo in Everglades National Park, the Gulf of Mexico, Florida
Bay and Whitewater Bay, as well as in the canals and urban waterways. South Florida provides one of the most diverse and challenging, but also one of
the most prolific recreational inshore fisheries in the world. John has the experience to put his anglers on fish during any time of year regardless of the conditions.
Captain Ryan Peters
Captain Ryan is a Miami native with over 20 years of experience fishing off of South Florida. To say he lives and breathes fishing would be an understatement. To this day, he is still one of the only members of our crew you will catch fishing on his days off. Ryan loves the challenge of sportfishing because it always provides new opportunities to learn and challenge himself. He has caught just about every species that swims and prides himself in always having a trick up his sleeve on slower days. Some of his notable catches include mako sharks to 500 lbs, swordfish to 450 lbs, goliath grouper to 600 lbs, as well as sharks, marlin, and more. Ryan has phenomenal eye sight and is definitely a threat in the tower while sight fishing. Don’t let his mellow temperament fool you. Ryan has a competitive attitude and the grit to out fish any captain off South Florida on a given day.
