Our Miami fishing charters run at a tournament-style pace on every single trip. We run the boat hard, fish hard, and work hard. Our reputation means everything, and we're dedicated to showing every group how exciting sport fishing in Miami can really be. There are less expensive Miami fishing charters out there, but those 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. Our crew has fine-tuned every technique and mixed top of the line equipment with experienced captains. This allows us to catch fish by doing what's necessary, not convenient. Whether you're booking a full-day deep sea fishing charter or a half-day inshore charter, you can expect maximum effort from our crew. 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. Keep reading or book now and you'll understand why "No Fish is Safe!"
Deep Sea Fishing Charters in Miami
We offer deep sea fishing trips for pelagic and bottom species — sailfish, mahi, swordfish, tuna, snapper and more. All-inclusive for up to 6 anglers aboard our 43' Hatteras.
With a custom rigged 43' Hatteras for Deep Sea Fishing and a 21' Bay Boat to conquer the flats, we are ready for anything. Don't let our tournament style approach intimidate you, we predominantly fish light tackle and make the most elusive gamefish a reasonable target for even the most inexperienced anglers. Your safety, comfort, and enjoyment are our only priorities from the moment you contact us. Unlike most multiple boat operations, we are owner operated and take our reputation very seriously. There are less expensive charters online but you won't find a more experienced crew, well kept boats, or positive atmosphere.
Reviews from Our Guests
Great Captain & Crew,
Captain Ryan & Mate Chris worked tirelessly to put us on fish and everyone in our family of 5 caught a sailfish by 11 am on a beautiful day in March 2026. Chris is a master at keeping 2 Kites and 6 lines working at once.
The team will put you on FISH!!!
Great Day out and even better fishing! Chris and Ryan took good care of us and everyone caught their first Sailfish!
Great crew, spot, and boat. super fun day and lots of fish.
What a great crew. I took my wife out on her first ocean fishing trip and we had a blast. A bag of snapper. A beautiful big eye tuna. And a fantastic sailfish that I was able to brig to the boat. These guys worked hard fir us and it us greatly appreciated.
The absolute best crew! I came from Oklahoma, I will choose them hands down anytime I come back. Clean boat, hard working crew and do their best to help you achieve your fishing goals. If you don't choose this crew you're messing up!
A typical day on the Double Threat isn't just about what's in the cooler at the end of the trip. Between the bites, we see plenty of wildlife working alongside the fish. Many of these species actually help us find fish in addition to putting on a show.

Why Winter Fishing in Miami Is Special
While the winter months in much of the United States mean bundling up and waiting for spring, south Florida’s subtropical climate keeps saltwater fishing productive and exciting. From Biscayne Bay’s shallow flats to the deep blue waters of the Gulf Stream just offshore, winter in Miami (December through February) offers a ...
Fall in Miami generally stretches from late September through early December. The brutal summer heat begins to break, and water temperatures slowly fall from the upper 80s into the 70s. This subtle change creates a surge of marine activity. Schools of mullet, pilchards, and sardines migrate along the coast, providing a buffet for a variety of predators. The annual mullet ...
What sets us apart from other Miami fishing charters is our tournament style approach and encouraging atmosphere.

Our Captains
We will put you on the fish.
Captain Nick Gonzalez
Captain Nick Gonzalez is a Miami native with over 20 years on the water in South Florida — as a recreational angler, professional mate, and captain. He grew up traveling and has fished from the Outer Banks to Hawaii, catching nearly every species in the Atlantic along the way. Nick captained the Blue Yonder (his first boat) through countless tournaments with plenty of first-place finishes. He takes a tournament-style approach to every charter and goes out every day with one intention: out-fishing the fleet. His passion is contagious, and he loves sharing his knowledge with guests. Under Nick's leadership, Double Threat Charters has been featured in Marlin Magazine, InTheBite, Florida Sportfishing Magazine, Coastal Angler Magazine, and more. In 2018, he earned the distinguished honor of Top Release Captain for Atlantic Sailfish — and Top Release Captain out of every charter boat in South Florida. At just 25, Nick was the youngest captain to ever receive these awards. He repeated the honor in 2019 by tagging more sailfish than anyone in the Atlantic.
Captain Kristjan Must
Kristjan grew up in New Jersey, spending his weekends chasing striped bass, bluefish, flounder, and just about any cold-water fish he could get his hands on. He always knew there was more out there than cold weather and crappy fishing, so after graduating from college with a degree in nuclear engineering (yes, he's way overqualified for this job), Kris joined the Navy. He spent 6 years on tour traveling through Asia and the Middle East aboard a nuclear submarine. After serving his country, Kris made the move to sunny South Florida to pursue his lifelong passion of fishing in a tropical climate. He settled in Miami Beach, where he began chasing tarpon, snook, and sharks from his kayak — yes, a kayak. He built a strong local reputation targeting these exotic species on a small boat with light tackle, then dove head-first into the charter fishing scene, working alongside some of the best captains in the industry. Kristjan is a well-rounded operator — capable of tackling just about any obstacle whether it's boat work, photography, or graphic design. He's great with people, sharp-witted, and let's be honest: it's always nice to have an engineer onboard.
Captain John Prahl
Captain John Prahl is a fourth-generation Miami native with over 30 years of experience fishing the backcountry of South Florida. He grew up on the waters of Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys, Dry Tortugas, Flamingo in Everglades National Park, Florida Bay, Whitewater Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and Miami's urban canals. South Florida offers one of the most diverse, challenging, and productive inshore fisheries in the world. John has the experience to put anglers on fish 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 — he's still one of the only members of our crew you'll catch fishing on his days off. Ryan loves the challenge of sportfishing because it always provides new opportunities to learn. He's caught just about every species that swims and prides himself on having a trick up his sleeve on slower days. Notable catches include mako sharks to 500 lbs, swordfish to 450 lbs, goliath grouper to 600 lbs, plus marlin, sailfish, and more. Ryan has phenomenal eyesight and is a real threat in the tower while sight fishing. Don't let his mellow temperament fool you — he has the competitive attitude and grit to out-fish any captain off South Florida on a given day.
Target Species
With such a wide variety of species off the east and west coasts of South Florida, you never know what you're going to catch. Below is a detailed species list of the many game fish you may encounter during an outing with Double Threat Fishing Charters.
