Four Hours Offshore: Chasing Sailfish and Tuna from a 46‑Foot Hatteras out of Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lauderdale’s offshore grounds open quickly from the Intracoastal: after a short cruise past waterfront homes, anglers climb aboard a 46‑foot Hatteras and head into deeper water to chase sailfish, tuna, wahoo and other seasonal game. The shared 4‑hour outing blends close coaching from an experienced captain and mate with compact, purposeful fishing—trolling, live‑bait work, kite setups and shipwreck bottom fishing when conditions and the bite dictate.
