Nestled in Pompano Beach, Florida, Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center offers unrivaled access to some of South Florida’s most fertile fishing grounds, including famed Sailfish Alley, just one mile offshore. With a modern, family-oriented marina and a fleet of meticulously maintained charters, this facility is a go-to for anglers of all levels.
Target species like sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, kingfish, marlin, swordfish, tuna, and bottom fish aboard vessels ranging from 45′ to 52′ Hatteras. Customized half-day, full-day, Bahamas, and corporate charters are available—with boats such as Crowd Pleaser and Rebound.
Perfect for catching snapper, grouper, and kingfish, drift trips utilize natural currents over reef and wreck areas. Comfortable boats and guided support make them welcoming for families and new anglers.
Hillsboro Inlet delivers year-round action, with seasons highlighting:
Top catches continue with blackfin tuna, cobia, snapper, snook, tarpon, and reef species nearshore or around jetties.
Located just minutes from Sailfish Alley, the fleet exits quickly into prime fishing territory, optimizing time spent reeling in catches.
All pressure-tested boats are regularly updated—ensuring safety, comfort, and guest trust aboard each vessel.
Whether solo, family, or a group—there are half-, three-quarter-, full-day, or Bahamas adventure options, with tailored private charters available on demand.
