A fishing charter from Fort Lauderdale is a two hour drive away: straight south to the reef edge and underwater mountains of the sportfishing capital of the world. You are on the water by 7 am and home with a cooler of fillets.

Coming from Broward, go big. Give yourself time on the humps with a full day, or turn it into a weekend with the overnight swordfish trip, the fleet's signature. That is how the drive pays off. The dock is at mile marker 84, with places to eat and stay close by.

Two-day formula

Day one: drive down easy, then a sunset cruise or shark trip in the evening. Day two: the 7 am deep sea trip, fish cleaned at the dock, home for dinner. It feels like a vacation twice as long.
