Off-Shore Fishing Trips for Sailfish, Dolphin, Tuna and Snapper:  When you arrive at the dock in the morning fresh coffee will be waiting for you.  As your party boards the Marlin My Darlin, you notice the coolers are filled with the beverages and food that you requested in your All-Inclusive package when you booked the trip.  The engines are warm and ready to go.  As we head out to the fishing grounds, our experienced crew gets everyone acquainted with the boat her features and safety.  Once everyone is knowledgeable where everything is, we then educate the crew as to the fishing program for the day.  The entire crew will know the basics of what we are doing and what their role is in successfully putting fish in the cooler.  No one is left out, and no one is too big of a novice.  We are patient with our clients and rather rude and impolite with the fish!

When the trip is concluded, we clean your catch for you. Make sure you take photos and send them to us for possible inclusion in our site’s Photo Gallery.  If your schedule allows it, throw some of that fresh fish on the ‘barbie’ the moment you arrive back at the dock, or we can direct you to a restaurant that can do it for you.  So, what are you waiting for?  Fishing in Ft. Lauderdale is fun! Let’s go fishin’.

Federal law mandates that a swordfish must have a 47 inch fork length to be taken. Our Highly Migratory Species Permit allows us to keep one legal size swordfish per angler per charter. This measurement is from the fork of the swordfish's tail to the tip of its lower jaw. Undersize swordfish will not be gaffed or taken. If you wish to keep your swordfish for eating, it will be dressed out upon returning to the dock. If you prefer catch and release, we respect your decision.

Taxidermy is available for your swordfish if you choose to do so. The swordfish is one of the most imposing and beautiful game fish available in deep sea fishing. Stocky, muscular and neon blue to purple in color with a long flat bill approaching 1/3 of their overall length, they are an impressive and capable adversary.
