Ahoy, adventure seekers! 🚤🎣 If you’re looking for an EPIC day on the water, look no further Captain Christian is your guy! We rolled up to the dock at 6:15, and Captain C was already there with a smile, ready to kick off the fun. Loaded up our snacks and drinks, settled in, and by 6:30 we were OFF! Leaving the marina? GORGEOUS. Glassy water, PERFECT weather, a sweet little breeze, and that scenic view behind us? Chef’s kiss. The ride to the fishing grounds was smooth and fast, and then the…

Miami Fishing Charters
We never stop looking for the next bite.
The best fishing days are unforgettable, but they’re rarely the result of luck alone. Every trip is a series of decisions, adjustments, and calculated moves. That’s where experience matters.
If one technique isn’t producing, we adapt. We may troll, kite fish, bottom fish, sight fish, or move to entirely different water until we find what’s working. Conditions change by the hour, and so do we.
No captain can promise fish. What we can promise is preparation, persistence, and a crew that refuses to coast once the lines are in the water. Whether it’s a banner day or a tougher bite, you’ll know we gave you every opportunity to succeed.

Deep Sea, Inshore, and Night Fishing
Our crew has fished together for years, with low turnover and good people who are genuinely obsessive about the fishing and about whether you had a good day doing it. When we started in 2011, we ran both inshore and offshore trips, and we have never stopped.
We believe that variety is what makes fishing worthwhile, because you never know what a given day will hand you. With access to multiple boats across our deep sea, inshore, and night trips, and a crew that knows South Florida thoroughly, we can make almost any fish in Miami a target depending on the season and the trip you book.
Deep Sea Fishing Charters
Departing Coconut Grove, we fish off Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, and down toward Key Largo aboard our 43′ Hatteras. We target sailfish, mahi, tuna, swordfish, and more depending on the season.
Explore →Calmer Water Bay Fishing
We fish the flats and backcountry in the heart of Biscayne Bay, for anglers who want action close to shore. We target tarpon, permit, bonefish, and more.
Explore →Tarpon & Snook After Dark
We run night fishing for tarpon and snook near the inlets and beaches. Watch the sunset and wait for the bite to turn on in the city lights.

One Standard on Every Trip
We understand that our clients don’t get to fish every day like we do. We don’t take our jobs for granted, and we try to make every trip a special one for our guests. Whether it’s a half day with first-time anglers or a full day with a seasoned crew, we put forth maximum effort. We fish at a tournament-style pace and hold our crew to a high standard, so your day of fishing is a memorable one.
No Experience Needed
Experience is not required on our boat. We regularly take out clients who have never held a rod and put them on quality fish. The crew handles the difficult part, so your only job is to show up ready to have a good time. Most of our fishing is on light tackle, which makes our fishery more approachable than most.

Booking Made Simple
Our online booking system has real time availability and allows you to book with just a few clicks. You’ll receive a confirmation email after booking as well as a pre-trip reminder so you always know exactly where to be and when.
One of the questions we hear most is what time of day to book, and our honest answer is to pick whatever slot fits your schedule and let us worry about the fishing. If your question is about a specific species or the best time of year to target it, take a look at our Miami Fishing Calendar or contact us for more details. From the moment you book to the run back to the dock, we’ll handle the logistics so you can relax and enjoy the fishing.

What Sets Us Apart
We are not on the water staring at the clock or worrying about burning fuel. Our focus is putting you on fish with the time we have available. Live bait is sourced ahead of every trip and kept in bait pens near the boat. On deep sea trips we have close to forty rods rigged and always ready for kite fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, deep dropping, and more, so time isn’t wasted re-tying when the conditions change. We have an experienced crew that knows how to set a spread in minutes. We always leave the dock excited and ready for anything.
Our boat sees heavy use, but it is maintained with an open checkbook, which is why it remains one of the best-kept charter boats in Miami. Our crew takes pride in their maintenance and attention to detail, which helps minimize last-minute boat issues. When you book with us, you can be confident we’ll make sure you’re on the water as long as the weather holds.

We Stand Behind Every Trip
We are in this business to make a living by giving people enjoyable days on the water, and the ocean does not always cooperate. Seas get rough, people get seasick, and some days the fishing is tough. We will not pretend we can control all these variables. What we do control is how we respond to them. If you are unhappy with your experience and believe it was something within our control, we encourage open communication and suggest you contact us. Not every trip is perfect, but we can guarantee that your feedback gets heard and acted on.

What’s Included
Our charters are all-inclusive, so there are no surprises at the dock. Every trip comes with:
- Quality rods, reels, and tackle, rigged and ready
- Live and fresh bait sourced ahead of your trip
- Ice for your catch and bottled water on board
- All required fishing licenses
- Filleting and bagging of any fish you keep
- A licensed and insured boat with a professional crew
Just bring food, preferred drinks, and sunscreen. We will handle the rest.


Corporate, Travel, & Custom Trips
Not every trip fits a standard half-day or full-day slot. We regularly put together multi-boat outings for larger groups, including friendly tournaments, corporate trips, bachelor parties, and more. If you want to fish competitively, we are also available for charter in local tournaments.
For repeat clients, we can arrange multi-day runs to the Bahamas and the Keys. If you are after something we do not run ourselves, we are well-connected across the South Florida fishing community and will point you toward the right person rather than sell you the wrong trip. Contact us if you have any questions.

What Our Guests Say
Capt Ryan & Double Threat are one of the best Miami charters I’ve been on. Been chartering guides in South Florida for 25 years, and by far they were one of the best with clear communication, positive attitude, fishing expertise and empowering people to become better anglers. A fun time as always, for any type of fishing in Miami. Will be going again soon.
The Double Threat crew is the best. Organized, professional, courteous, and amazing fishermen. Always a smooth and enjoyable experience, and we always catch fish! Thanks guys!
Absolutely unreal experience with Double Threat Charters. All three of us caught sailfish, plus a barracuda, tuna, and cobia — and we even had a kingfish jump off the line. Action the entire trip. Chris, Ryan, and Gordon were next-level. Super knowledgeable, dialed-in, and genuinely wanted us to have a blast. The boat was spotless, had plenty of room, drinks provided, a cooler loaded with ice, and even a refrigerator so we could bring our own food. Zero stress, all fun, and top-tier fishing…
Had a spectacular day chasing fish offshore. These guys know their stuff and we hooked up to a giant swordfish at 1600 feet. Took over an hour to get a first look and it was a monster. The crew used a harpoon, a tail rope with a pulley, 2 gaffs and all hands on deck to drag it over the transom. Also caught mahi and escolar. I highly recommend Double Threat Charters and will book with them again.
We had a birthday fishing trip and had so much fun! Nick and Chris are both amazing, they thought us a lot about fishing, had a lot of advanced fishing equipment, helped us catch a few sail fish and were really good company! The ride to the fishing spot is beautiful, turquoise water, very peaceful, and we caught a gorgeous sunset on the way back. The boat is perfect to fish or you can just relax and enjoy the sun. Inside has AC and is fully equipped with everything you need. Thanks for a…
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring?
Bring food, preferred drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, and dress for the weather. We provide the captain, crew, fishing gear, bait, licenses, and bottled water.
Do I need experience?
Not at all. Many of our guests are not seasoned anglers. We are happy to take first-timers and veteran anglers alike.
Are kids and beginners welcome?
Absolutely. We regularly take families and first-timers, and our crew is patient with anyone learning. Children and older guests are always accommodated.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If conditions are unsafe, we will work with you to reschedule. We would rather move your trip than send you out into a day you will not enjoy. If we are unable to reschedule, we will refund the deposit.
How does booking and the deposit work?
You can book online in a few minutes. A deposit holds your date, with the balance due after the trip. You will receive automated confirmation and reminder emails so nothing slips through the cracks.
Can we keep and eat what we catch?
Yes, as long as the fish meet the legal limit and are in season. We clean and bag your catch at the dock. You can take it home or we can point you to a local restaurant that will cook it for you.
What about seasickness?
This is one thing we cannot fully control. If you are prone to seasickness or unsure, consider taking medication the night before and the morning of. Calmer inshore trips are also a good option if open water concerns you.
How long is a trip?
We offer everything from half-day and night trips to extended full days. Just book a trip that works for your schedule and preference.

Fishing Out of Coconut Grove, Miami
All of our boats run out of Coconut Grove, one of the premier boating locations in Miami-Dade County. We are located at 3400 Pan American Drive, roughly twenty minutes and seven miles from Miami International Airport. Coconut Grove sits centrally to most of the areas our guests stay in:
This central location means you can stay directly in Coconut Grove or choose a hotel anywhere in Miami, knowing you should be less than thirty minutes from the dock.
Meet the Crew

Double Threat Charters was founded by Captain Nick in 2011. Captain John runs our inshore trips, a working relationship that goes back to our founding. Captain Kris joined in 2017 and manages the day-to-day operation, and Captain Ryan has been aboard since 2019. Our newest mate, Gordon, came on in 2024. A crew this stable is almost unheard of in this business, and guests who fish with us over the years keep seeing the same familiar faces. Our repeat clients are the ones who notice it most.
Captain Nick Gonzalez
Owner and operator of Double Threat since 2011, Nick is a two-time Top Release Captain for Atlantic Sailfish and has been featured in Marlin, InTheBite, Florida Sport Fishing, and Sport Fishing Magazine.
Captain Kris Must
A former Navy submarine engineer who traded the service for full-time fishing, Kris has run with us since 2017. He brings the same precision and discipline to the deck that he did underwater, and there is no one calmer when a trip gets busy.
Captain Ryan Peters
Ryan has two decades on the water, the big-fish résumé to back it up, and a genuine gift in the tower. If there is a fish to be sight-cast, he is the one you want up top.
Captain John Prahl
A fourth-generation Miami native with more than thirty years in the backcountry, John has run our inshore trips since day one. Nobody knows the flats and finger channels of Biscayne Bay better.
