Cool Runnings Sportfishing Charters operates out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offering a range of guided fishing experiences on a fast, 32-ft Contender. The company runs offshore, inshore, and bottom fishing charters tailored to anglers seeking everything from billfish encounters to relaxed family trips.
Offshore Fishing Charters run just minutes offshore and target sailfish, mahi, tuna, and marlin; trips include expert guidance and all gear, with quick travel to prime fishing grounds. Inshore Fishing Charters navigate Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Waterway for snook, tarpon, redfish, and seatrout, using a stealthy trolling motor, light tackle, and local knowledge to create close encounters with resident species. Bottom Fishing Charters head to nearby reefs and wrecks to pursue snapper, grouper, and amberjack year-round, delivering big fights and the opportunity to leave with a cooler full of fresh fillets; these trips are suitable for all skill levels.
Captains and crew focus on efficient time on the water, minimizing transit to productive spots so anglers spend more time fishing. Vessels and tackle are equipped to handle a variety of species and conditions around Fort Lauderdale. Reservations accommodate individual anglers, families, and small groups, with trip lengths configurable to match angler goals. Safety equipment and basic cold storage are maintained on board. Booking information, availability, and pricing are provided on request to help anglers plan trips effectively. Weather influences trip planning.
