Why we keep the boat here
Lines in the water sooner
A charter day is only as long as you paid for, and a surprising amount of that time can disappear before you ever fish. Running out of a busy port, idling through no-wake zones, waiting on bridges — none of it is fishing, and all of it is on your clock.
Leaving from Pompano Beach avoids most of that. The inlet is close, the run out is short, and the reef edge and blue water start almost immediately beyond it. On a half day trip that difference is not cosmetic — it is a meaningful share of the time you actually spend with baits in the water.

Being the home port has one practical advantage: we are on this water most days. Call (954) 648-7042 and ask what came over the rail yesterday, not just what the calendar says.

Pompano Beach charter FAQ
Where exactly is the boat docked in Pompano Beach?
At 2880 NE 19th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33062, on the Intracoastal side. Park and walk down to the slip — there is no office to check in at.
Can I come and look at the boat before I book?
Yes, and we would rather you did. Call first so Captain Scott is at the dock rather than out on a trip, then come down and see The Bite for yourself.
Do you take last-minute or same-week bookings?
Often, yes — particularly midweek and outside the winter sailfish season. Call rather than filling in the form if you are looking at the next day or two.
Which inlet do you run out of?
Hillsboro Inlet, a short run from the slip. It puts us on the reef edge and into blue water quickly, which is a large part of why we keep the boat here.
What time should I get to the dock?
Aim to arrive about fifteen minutes before your trip time so we can load up and leave promptly. If it is your first charter with us, come a few minutes earlier still.
What does a Pompano Beach charter cost, and what is included?
A half day is $700 and a 3/4 day is $850, for up to 6 passengers. Fishing licenses, bait, tackle, rods, ice and a cooler are included, and we clean and bag your catch.
