We are the closest charter fleet to the ocean in South Florida, only 5 minutes from fishing grounds. Your time spent aboard our fleet is fishing, not  traveling.

Fort Lauderdale Sport Fishing

Fishing in Fort Lauderdale is one of the most exciting things to do while visiting South  Florida. Our Fort Lauderdale charter fishing fleet consists of two custom built 41 foot Hatteras Sport Fishing Boats. The Lady Pamela II and I are tournament ready with top of the line tackle, cold air conditioning, refrigeration, a clean bathroom for the ladies, and comfortable seating in the cabin.

The Lady Pamela II has an articulating fighting chair suspended over the water. You have
to see it to believe it. Fish the chair if you dare.

Shared Charter:

When chartering a sport fishing boat, you have two options, a shared charter and a private charter. Say there is just 2 of you and you don't want the private charter, we put together a small group, if you're single, we'll fit you in. We do the legwork so you don't have to.

Private Charter:

On a private sport fishing charter, you have the entire boat to yourself for up to 6 people. More room for you, more fish for you. We can also accommodate a sport fishing
trip for more than 6 people, please contact Captain David Ide for details.

Fort Lauderdale Drift Fishing; 22 people maximum

Drift Fishing is one of the best ways to see Fort Lauderdale, not to mention, it is one of the best bargains when looking to charter a fishing boat in South Florida. Plus, if  you're lucky, you might come home with dinner.

the line electronics for superior safety and fishing success in Fort Lauderdale.

Powered by twin Volvo 450 diesels with a 15 ft beam, you will not fish a nicer, quicker,

Fort Lauderdale Daytime/Nighttime Sword fishing Charters

Swordfish are one of the most highly sought after game fish in the world, and Fort
Lauderdale rivals anywhere, as one of the best places to catch them. With their
incredible strength, speed, beauty, and ability to jump from the sea, they offer the
ultimate offshore challenge.

Just a short distance of about 14-16 miles off our coast lies the gulf stream and in its
nutrient rich waters lies some of the best Sword fishing on the planet. Our Sword fishing
takes place during the day and at night, when they come up from the depths to feed on a
variety of bait.

The techniques we employ include drifting in the currents of the gulf stream with squid and live bait. We also use light sticks and lights under the boat to attract their attention while nighttime sword fishing. While waiting for a bite there is an abundance of life that is attracted to the lights including Squid, Mackerel, Flying Fish, Dolphin, and often our intended quarry.

Few thrills match baiting an excited sword only feet from the boat. Once hooked the Swordfish displays speed and power like no other game fish.

My name is Captain David Ide. I'm a third generation fisherman, who grew up fishing south Florida's famous waters. I run the Lady Pamela Sportfishing Fleet and we take pride in
catching our customers' fish and letting them experience the thrill of a lifetime.

I have a very professional and courteous crew that will do whatever it takes to get the
job done and make sure that our customers have the best time they could possibly have.
Together our crew has over 50 years of Fort Lauderdale fishing charter experience. They
also have many years of worldwide fishing experience, including numerous tournament wins.

Lady Pamela Sportfishing Charters is conveniently located on the intracoastal waterway,
in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach.  We are only a short drive from Miami, Boca Raton,
and Pompano.  Fishing in Fort Lauderdale is well worth the short drive.

I look forward to fishing with you.
