Luxury Cruising on Pompano's 60' Bertram
Hey there, fellow sea lovers! Ready for a day of pure indulgence on the water? Our 60' Bertram yacht is waiting to whisk you away on a custom cruise you won't forget. This isn't your average boat ride – we're talking top-of-the-line comfort, serious fishing potential, and views that'll make your Instagram followers green with envy. Whether you're a local looking for a staycation or a visitor wanting to see the best of Pompano Beach, this cruise is the real deal.
What's the Deal with This Boat?
Let me tell you, this Bertram is a beauty. We're talking 60 feet of pure luxury, with enough space for you and five of your closest pals to spread out and soak up the sun. Below deck, there's a sweet setup for when you need a break from the rays – we're talking air conditioning, comfy seating, and even a spot to whip up some gourmet eats. And speaking of food, we've got you covered from breakfast to dinner. No need to pack snacks (unless you've got a favorite you can't live without). The best part? This cruise is all about what YOU want to do. Fancy a lazy day of sunbathing and champagne sipping? Done. Want to hit some prime fishing spots? We know just the places. It's your day, your way.
A Day on the Water
So here's how it usually goes down: We'll meet you at the dock in Pompano Beach, bright and early if you're keen on fishing, or a bit later if you're more about that relaxed vibe. Once everyone's aboard, we'll cruise out past the beautiful coastline. If fishing's on the agenda, we've got all the gear you need – from light tackle for inshore action to heavy-duty stuff for the big boys out in the deep. Not into fishing? No worries. We can find a nice calm spot to anchor, where you can jump in for a swim, do some snorkeling, or just chill on the deck with a cold one. As the day goes on, we can cruise to different spots, maybe check out some of the fancy houses along the Intracoastal, or head to a quiet cove for lunch. It's all up to you, captain!
Fish Tales and Chill Vibes
Now, if you're here for the fishing, boy, are you in for a treat. We use a mix of techniques depending on what we're after. For sailfish, we might do some kite fishing or slow trolling with live bait. It's a rush when you see that sail break the surface! For mahi-mahi, we'll look for floating debris or birds – that's where these colorful fighters like to hang out. And if we're after amberjack, get ready for a workout. We'll drop some jigs or live bait down deep and hold on tight. These guys don't give up easy! But remember, it's not all about fishing. If you just want to cruise, we can do that too. The boat's got plenty of comfy spots to kick back, and the crew knows all the best places to catch a killer sunset.
Species You Might Hook
Atlantic Sailfish: These guys are the stars of the show. They're fast, they're beautiful, and when they leap out of the water, it's like something out of a nature documentary. We usually see them more in the cooler months, from November to May. They average about 6-8 feet long and put up one heck of a fight. Most folks do catch and release with sailfish – it's all about the photo op and the thrill of the catch.
Mahi Mahi: Also called dorado or dolphinfish (but don't worry, they're not related to Flipper). These fish are like the supermodels of the sea – bright colors and they look great in pictures. They're also tasty as heck if you want to keep one for dinner. We find them year-round, but summer is prime time. They're fast growers and can hit 30 pounds or more.
Greater and Lesser Amberjack: We call these "reef donkeys" because they're stubborn fighters. The greater AJ can get huge, up to 100 pounds or more. Lessers are smaller but just as feisty. You'll find them hanging around wrecks and reefs. Be ready for a workout – these fish don't know when to quit!
Wahoo: If you want speed, wahoo's your fish. These sleek predators can hit 60 mph in the water. They're a bit elusive, but when you hook one, hold on tight! They're most common in the warmer months and make for some amazing eating if you're into sushi or fish tacos.
Time to Get Salty
Look, whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking for a fancy day out on the water, this Bertram cruise is the ticket. You've got the freedom to customize your day, a crew that knows these waters like the back of their hand, and a boat that's so comfy you might not want to get off. So why wait? The fish are biting, the sun's shining, and that cooler isn't going to fill itself with cold ones. Give us a shout and let's get your perfect day on the water locked in. Trust me, your future self will thank you for this one. See you on the boat!
Learn more about the species
Atlantic Sailfish
Known for their stunning sail-like dorsal fin and blazing speed, Atlantic sailfish are a prized catch off Pompano Beach. These beauties average 7-8 feet long and 50-80 pounds. You'll find them in the warm Gulf Stream waters, typically 100-200 feet deep. Spring and fall are peak seasons as they follow bait migrations. Sailfish put up an acrobatic fight, leaping and tail-walking across the surface. They're catch-and-release only, but make for amazing photos. To hook one, we'll troll rigged ballyhoo or live bait like goggle-eyes. The key is finding temperature breaks or weed lines where bait congregates. When a sail strikes, let it run before setting the hook - patience pays off with these lightning-fast fish. It's an unforgettable battle that'll test your skills and leave you grinning.
Greater Amberjack
Greater amberjack are hard-fighting reef dwellers that'll test your arms and your drag. These bruisers average 30-50 pounds but can top 100. We find them around deep wrecks and reefs in 150-300 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime seasons as they move to shallower structures. Jacks are prized for their powerful runs - they'll try to bust you off in the wreck, so heavy tackle is a must. While not the best eating, their fight more than makes up for it. To land one, we'll drop live bait or heavy jigs right into the structure. My go-to rig is a butterflied bonito on a stout circle hook. The key is getting them away from the wreck quickly. Once hooked, it's a tug-of-war that'll leave you sore but smiling. Just be ready to pump and wind - these fish don't give up easily.
Lesser Amberjack
Lesser amberjacks are the smaller cousins of the greater AJ, but they still pack a punch. These fish typically run 5-15 pounds and hang out in deeper water, usually 200-400 feet down. We find them around the edges of reefs and wrecks, often mixed in with other jacks. They're around year-round, but winter tends to be best as they school up. Lessers put up a scrappy fight on lighter tackle - it's like reeling in a bulldozer from the deep. They're not as sought-after as other species, but make for fun surprise catches when bottom fishing. To target them, we'll drop live bait or butterfly jigs to the bottom. My tip: use smaller hooks and baits than you would for greater AJs. These fish have smaller mouths but the same aggressive attitude. It's always exciting to see what comes up from those deep spots.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi mahi are one of our most popular gamefish here in Pompano Beach. These colorful fighters average 15-30 pounds but can top 50. Look for them near floating debris and weed lines in the Gulf Stream, usually within 30 miles of shore. They're most abundant from April through October when the water warms up. Mahi are known for their acrobatic jumps and hard runs. Anglers love 'em for the exciting visual strikes - you'll often see a pack of them chasing your bait. They're also excellent eating, with a mild, sweet flavor. To catch mahi, we'll troll small lures or rigged ballyhoo. My top tip: when you hook one, keep it in the water to attract others. You can often catch multiple fish from a single school. Whether you're after a trophy bull or just want some fillets for dinner, mahi fishing is always a blast.
Wahoo Fish
Wahoo are the speedsters of the ocean, capable of blistering runs that'll smoke your reel. These streamlined predators average 30-50 pounds but can top 100. We find them in the deep blue waters beyond the reef, usually 100-300 feet down. Fall is prime wahoo season here, but you can catch them year-round. They're prized for their explosive strikes and scorching first run - don't be surprised to see 200 yards of line disappear in seconds. Wahoo also make excellent table fare with firm, white meat. To catch them, we'll troll fast - 12-15 knots - with lures or rigged baits. My top trick is using wire leaders; wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that'll slice through mono. When one hits, hang on tight and pray your drag is set right. It's an adrenaline rush you won't forget, topped off with some of the best fish tacos you'll ever have.
