Cool Runnings 32 ft Contender heading offshore for a Fort Lauderdale fishing charter

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.
