Tournament-Style 3/4 Day Miami Fishing Charter Aboard the Double Threat
Step aboard the Double Threat for a tournament-pace 6-hour charter off Miami. Target sailfish, mahi mahi, and wreck species with a full crew, live bait, and techniques like kite and sight fishing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Take motion-sickness prevention
Sea conditions can change quickly; take anti-nausea meds before boarding and choose a mid-ship seat to reduce roll.
Bring layered sun protection
High sun and reflective water make sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and UV-protective clothing essential even on cloudy days.
Pack non-perishable snacks and drinks
Bottled water is provided but bring your preferred food and beverages—no alcohol rules vary by operator.
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Non-marking deck shoes or sneakers reduce slip risk while moving on a wet, working deck.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Try sight fishing near structure during early morning light for solitary mahi that feed on surface schools
- •Ask the crew about nearby historic wrecks—these offer close encounters with snapper and grouper that aren’t obvious from shore charts
Wildlife
- •Atlantic sailfish
- •Mahi mahi (dolphin)
Conservation Note
Keep releases quick and use circle hooks when targeting billfish; many charters follow best practices for handling and releasing protected species.
Miami’s offshore fishing scene grew alongside sport-fishing tournaments in the 20th century; the Gulf Stream’s proximity turned local marinas into tournament hubs.
