Capt. Jay's Deep Sea Fishing Miami

Truly amazingWe flew from Toronto Ontario Canada to Miami for a quick 30 hour boys vacation only to go fishing. Captain Ralph did not disappoint- he truly understands how to satisfy his clients. Even If we didn’t catch a one fish - it would have been worth the trip to spend time with captain Pete and first mate Sheldon. We are truly blessed for such an amazing experience. Luckily we did catch 5 Mahi-mahi’s ( lost one at the last min- hey that’s fishing)These guys are professional, Friendly, thoughtful and willing to go that extra mile for us. Wow what an amazing experience. We are truly blessed ! Thank you again captain Ralph- I’m already trying to planning the next trip to visit you ! This is my first review and anyone reading this please listen - they are the best price private charter without any up-selling gimmicks - zero pressure whatsoever. There only goal is for you to enjoy your time !!!!! Don’t think twice. It’s a no-brainer. Trip October 28th 2019 Sam and Rob. Thank you! More...

I had a fabulous time! The captain and first mate did a great job of putting us on the fish , and doing the work, to ensure a good fishing Adventure. Everyone was very helpful , and attentive to our needs. My companion got a little seasick , but she can't stop talking about what a great time she had ! Even the owner of the fleet Rafael came out to greet us and congratulate us when we got back to the slip. He really wanted to make sure we had a great time. We definitely had a 5-star experience! I recommend sea cross very highly! You will not be disappointed! More...

I was putting on a bachelor party for my guys and we had a group of ten of us. We had a hard time finding a boat that could take all of us together . Then fortunately I found Capt. Jay's Deep sea fishing. They are allowed the larger groups . We had a great time. We all got the opportunity to catch two fish each. We caught Tuna and Kingfish and the big catch of the day was a 7 foot Shark. Boat and crew were amazing... best time ever! More...

Just a great experience... We used their online booking service, and were booked and confirmed in minutes. Two weeks later we were in Miami on our vacation and ready for our fishing trip. The fishing was really exiting, the boat was great and the crew could not have been nicer or more informative. We highly recommend a fishing charter the spellbound , and cant wait to do it again.

We are a family of seven and chartered the Spellbound for a morning 1/2 day trip. I have been on a few fishing trips throughout my life and knowing what you can do in a half day my expectations were low. Well, I was wrong... We had a terrific fishing trip. Capt. Manny and Billy the mate were just amazing. Manny offered great information and Billy was a lot of fun. The boat was big and comfortable and more than you could have asked for.The fishing was full of action right from the start. We caught a few king fish to start the day. Then we were attacked by Little Tunny (Tunny Tuna). We hooked into four at one time, and landed all of them. Later in the trip we stopped on a wreck and put out a few live baits. We waited for a while then hooked into a Big Mutton Snapper. Then just a few minutes later we hooked into and landed a Barracuda. My 10 year old son caught the Barracuda and it was a few inches larger than my son!That evening we made sushi from the Little Tunny and it was such a treat. Cant say enough great things about our fishing trip and would give them 8 stars if it was allowed. More...

I chartered the Spellbound to take my 6 and 11 year old grandsons on their first fishing trip. And what a great trip we had, We started out trolling for the big game sport fish and we hit a home run. We caught a 40+ pound Wahoo. What a truly great experience. We also caught a few Tuna around 8 to 15 pounds. The trolling fish were a bit challenging for the 6 year old so Capt. Jay suggested we do a little light tackle bottom fishing. We were using 8 pound spin gear and wound up catching 10 lane snappers and a Yellow Tail snapper. tons of fun on the light rod.The boat was big and comfortable and the A/C in the cabin was super cool. That was great because it was 94 degrees that day. Capt. Jay and Mike were just terrific and great with the boys. I highly recommend taking a 1/2 day with the Spellbound and crew. We made memories that will last a lifetime! More...

My family traveled to Miami Beach to visit with relatives and take a short summer vacation. We decided to try a fishing trip and looked to book a boat for the same day. We called the Spellbound and spoke with Kim the booking agent. She was just great. She answered all of my questions and reserved the boat for us at 1pm the same day.The fishing excursion was such a great idea. We all caught at least two fish and my 12 year old son caught a 7 foot Hammer Head Shark, so cool !!It quickly became our favorite experience of our vacation. The crew were just great to be around and the boat was big truly amazing.We cant wait until next year when we come back to see family... We will defiantly go fishing with the Spellbound and crew again! More...

If i could give more than 5 stars i would. We went out with captain Jay and Manny, With first mate Mike. This trip was incredible. We went out and because the trolling at midday was slow, our captain and first mate decided to switch up the fishing. we targeted snapper, then used live bait to catch huge barracuda. on the way back, we trolled and caught multiple bonita and kingfish. The crew were incredibly nice and had our best interests at heart. Incredible trip overall. I will definitely be coming back for more fishing. More...

Booked the Spellbound for my bachelor party. I had a blast, capt Manny got us on fish within 30 min and billy kept us laughing on deck. Ended up cutting the trip short due to the lack of sea legs and stomach contents of my groomsmen, but still highlight of the trip. The Spellbound has everything you need and more (A/C). Boat was well taken care of and clean. If I'm ever back in the area I'll definitely give these guys a call. If there for a trip, I'd advise using thumbtack to get a personal chef to cook your catch.

We chartered Capt. Jay's deep sea fishing Miami and went out on their 57' Spellbound. We fished with Capt. Manny and the boats mate Mike. We had a great time. We caught fish from the time we put lines in and lasted almost 2 hours of action. The captain suggested we try our luck and target something bigger... Man was that a great idea. We ended the trip catching a 10' Hammer Head Shark. We chose a fishing trip as an after thought to our family trip to Miami, and it turned out to be the hi light of our trip. Big Thanks to the Spellbound and the crew! More...

I went fishing with Capt. Manny and Mike the mate on the Spellbound. Capt Manny could not have been nicer and a true pleasure to be with for four hours. He was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We booked them for a four hour half day trip of deep sea fishing. It was truly amazing and the best part was that the water gets so deep so close to shore. We were in 700 feet of water and could not have been out more than 3 miles. The amazing part was all of our fish were caught closer in !Capt. Manny had us on fish just a mile off shore. and we were never more than 3 miles out. We caught Tuna, Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda and a Big and I mean BIG Amberjack.Let me tell you how great it is to not have to run far offshore and spend your day hunting around instead of catching fish. The boat was first class . Kim was the first person we spoke with. She was great answered all of our questions and got us booked quickly.Over all the experience could not have been better... Thanks for the great adventure and memories ! More...

I do a good amount of Bass fishing back home and had never been deep sea fishing, and was always on my bucket list. I chose the Spellbound after reading some reviews, looking at pictures on the website and speaking with Capt. Jay. Let me just say that we were not disappointed... We had a great day. We caught a bunch of medium sized Tuna and a 7 foot Shark. Although the highlight of the day was catching a 25 pound Sea Bass (Grouper). Now my largest Bass was caught off Miami Beach on the Spellbound. A big thanks to Capt. Jay and Mike the mate, you guys made my trip !! More...

We chose Capt. Jay's Spellbound for our family because they were USCG licensed and we liked the idea that there boat goes through inspections and regulations from the Coast Guard. The boat and crew were just awesome. Capt. Many and his mate Mike were great with our kids and we had just a ton of fun. We chose bottom fishing so the kids could get a lot of action, and we were not disappointed . We caught snappers, Jacks, Trigger fish and even a cool spotted Grouper.

We Hired Capt. Jay's Deep Sea Fishing Miami to do our corporate event on their 57' Spellbound. We had arranged to have 16 people on our tour. Although on the day of the trip two more of our people wanted to join the group. We arrived at the boat and explained to Capt. Manny that we wanted to add two more people and to our relief he said "no problem" and welcomed our entire group on board. The boat was just great and the crew was even better. We caught a bunch of fish and enjoyed just being out on the ocean. The boat was very comfortable for 18 people.

I had the unfortunate experience of another captain double booking my recent fishing trip. With my dad and brother in law having flown in from out of town, it was extremely disappointing to show up at 7am only to be told we were not going fishing. Frantically, I searched google for other captains, although I knew my chances of finding an available charter on a Saturday morning were slim. But by the grace of God, I was able to get a hold of Captain Ralph!! He was still in bed with no plans of taking a charter that day, but after hearing my story, dropped everything to take us out —by himself even without his first mate!!! We caught several fish but most of all had a memorable day on the water we will always cherish!! Can’t reccomend Captain Ralph enough and will forever remember and be grateful for his act of kindness!! Will be using him for all future charters here in Miami and Bahamas!! Cheers, captain Ralph!
