“If you are looking for the best family fishing charter in Pompano Beach, Florida, stop searching and book with Captain Shawn. From the moment we left the dock, Captain Shawn and first mate RoRo made the entire experience fun, welcoming and stress-free. They worked hard to put us on fish and kept everyone entertained the entire time.”

“Our trip with Gradyful Fishing Charters was absolutely incredible. As first-time offshore anglers, we were not sure what to expect, but Captain Shawn and the crew walked us through everything.”

“Captain Shawn and the Gradyful crew were top notch. We have fished all over the Americas, north and south, so once the crew saw that we were experienced and safe, they let us have at it. I would not even consider another charter if I am going to fish in that area.”

“We did a four hour trip and landed multiple mahi, including my personal best 41 inch mahi, two barracuda and some bonitas. The seas were pretty rough the day we went out but the boat handled the waves great.”

“Started out promptly at 7:00 and the lines were in within minutes of being out in the water. The captain went above and beyond and even changed plans and route when he got intel of fish biting in a different area, and helped my 3 year old get in on the action.”
