Three Trip Types · One 32 Ft Contender
Our Fishing Charters
Inshore for snook and tarpon. Offshore for mahi and sailfish. Bottom for snapper and grouper. We run all three out of our Cox Landing.
Cool Runnings Sportfishing runs three distinct fishing charters out of Fort Lauderdale, all aboard the same 32 ft Contender with twin Yamaha 300 outboards. The boat is rigged for everything from a quiet morning of Fort Lauderdale inshore fishing with kids on the rail to a hard offshore run for tournament-caliber sailfish on the Gulf Stream edge.
We pick the right trip for the day based on weather, season, what is biting, and the experience level of your group. First-time anglers usually do best on inshore or bottom trips where the action stays steady. Anglers chasing trophies head straight to the offshore Gulf Stream charter. Families who want a cooler full of fillets pick bottom fishing on the reefs. Pick the trip that fits and call to lock in a date.

Three Ways to Fish
Offshore Fishing
Run the Gulf Stream off Fort Lauderdale for sailfish, mahi, tuna, wahoo, and the occasional marlin. Half, three-quarter, and full days on a 32-foot Contender.
Inshore Fishing
Sight fish the flats and work the Intracoastal channels for snook, tarpon, redfish, and seatrout. Quiet trolling motor on a 32 Contender means no spooked fish.
Bottom Fishing
Drop baits over reefs and wrecks off Fort Lauderdale for snapper, grouper, amberjack, triggerfish, and more. Steady action, dinner-quality fish, half or full days.
The Full Package
