Cool Runnings Sportfishing Charters has been putting anglers on fish in Fort Lauderdale and Miami for over a decade. We're not here to sell you a story or promise the impossible. We show up, we fish hard, and we make sure you leave with a good experience. Our crew knows South Florida's waters because we've spent years learning them—fishing the flats when the tide was wrong, running offshore in rough seas, and anchoring over reefs that didn't produce. Those lessons taught us what works and what doesn't, and now we use that knowledge to give you the best shot at catching fish, whether you're new to fishing or you've been doing it for years.

Meet Captain Jason Robinson

Captain Jason Robinson is a South Florida native with a lifetime of fishing experience both inshore and offshore. Growing up in the Miami area has given Jason the opportunity to fish for everything from tarpon in the bay to billfish on the edge. The passion and love he has for fishing shows from the second you step on board.

In the last 8 years, he has competed, placed, and won several world renowned tournaments. Captain Jason has been featured on multiple fishing television shows including "Bass2billfish" with Peter Miller. He also has knowledge fishing all over the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

A day with Jason can range from giving children or beginners their first South Florida experience to challenging even the most experienced anglers. He's willing to go the extra mile to make your next fishing experience a memory that will last a lifetime.

Our Experience on South Florida Waters

With more than 10 years in the sport fishing business, we've built our reputation on results, not hype. We've guided beginners through their first catch, helped seasoned anglers land personal bests, and taken families out for days they still talk about. Every trip adds to our understanding of these waters, and we bring that experience to your charter.

• Over 10 Years of Guiding: We've logged thousands of hours on the water between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, learning the patterns that matter.
• Local Knowledge: We know where fish hold during different seasons, tides, and weather conditions, so you're always fishing the right spots.
• Proven Track Record: Our repeat customers and referrals speak to the quality of our trips and the fish we put our clients on.
• Adaptable Approach: Conditions change, and so do we. We adjust tactics, locations, and techniques to keep you catching throughout the day.
• Safety First: Our boat is maintained to Coast Guard standards, and we never push into unsafe conditions just to keep a booking.

The Boat

Cool Runnings is a state of the art Contender 32 ST powered by twin Yamaha 300 horsepower outboards. The boat is equipped with top-tier electronics as well as a Rhodan trolling motor. Contender is well known for their fishability and ride, and this boat is no different. It's right at home on the ocean whether it's calm or a bit choppy.

• Contender 32 ST: Built for serious fishing with the space, stability, and performance to handle any conditions.
• Twin Yamaha 300 HP Outboards: Reliable power that gets you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely.
• Advanced Electronics: GPS, fishfinder, and radar keep us on the fish and aware of changing conditions.
• Rhodan Trolling Motor: Quiet, precise positioning for inshore flats fishing and stealthy approaches.
• Smooth Ride: The Contender hull cuts through chop and delivers a comfortable ride, even in rough seas.

Who We Fish With

We've guided everyone from first-timers who've never held a rod to experienced anglers chasing specific species. Families, corporate groups, solo travelers, and locals all fish with us. We limit trips to four guests for safety and comfort, with two to three people being ideal for a more personal experience. This keeps the deck clear, the attention focused, and the day enjoyable for everyone on board.

• Beginners Welcome: We teach you the basics and coach you through every step, so you feel confident and catch fish.
• Experienced Anglers: We adjust tactics and target specific species based on your skill level and what you want to catch.
• Families: Kids and adults fish together in a safe, relaxed environment with plenty of action to keep everyone engaged.
• Groups: Whether it's a bachelor party, corporate outing, or friends' trip, we make sure everyone has a great time.
• Locals & Visitors: We fish with people from Miami, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, Aventura, Hallandale, Hollywood, Dania Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, as well as visitors from around the country.

We don't rush you through the trip or treat you like just another booking. Your time on the water belongs to you, and we make sure it's spent fishing, not waiting around. From the moment you step on the boat to the time we tie up at the dock, the focus stays on putting you on fish and making sure you enjoy the experience. Our approach is simple: show up prepared, fish the right spots, and adjust as needed. We don't overcomplicate things or make promises we can't keep. We just fish hard and make sure you get the most out of your day. That's what keeps people coming back and telling their friends about us.
