We had the pleasure of booking a private charter with Mario/No Vacansea . I reached out to Mario a month in advance to get our preferred date & time locked in. Mario called me the day before our charter to not only confirm our booking, but was also honest in telling me that we should expect the waters to be quite rough and what his experience was like that morning. He could have easily said everything was perfect on the water, and his truth went a long way with me. We were out of the dock area within 5 minutes of parking and headed out a few miles off shore. Mario set up all our poles/bait quickly and was a joy to talk to with loads of information. The warning he gave is the day before proved to be true, the water was extremely choppy and made for an interesting time on the water. Unfortunately for us, we had a member of our group lose his breakfast multiple times. We decided to head back in after a couple hours, cutting our trip short, but not before my son landed a beautiful Mahi. It was both our first time on a fishing charter and all things considered, we had an absolute blast and if I am back in the Hollywood Beach/Ft Lauderdale area, I without question will be reaching out to Mario for another round of Sport Fishing. Mario even reached out days after our trip saying he wished things worked out better for us, but was glad we at least got to reel in something. We gave our Mahi to Mario since we could not take it back to our hotel, and he was excited to take it home and cook it up later that evening. Book with Mario and No Vacansea, you will not regret it.

We had an absolutely amazing time with Cpt Mario. He was so knowledgable, friendly, and patient. My wife, 8 yr old daughter, and 10 yr old son loved their experience catching sailfish, kingfish, amberjack, red snapper, bonito, and barracuda all on one trip!!! Great way to vacation. Highly recommend anyone looking for a trip near Ft Lauderdale to contact Cpt Mario, you will not be disappointed.

This was our first time using No Vacansea. Mario is absolutely an experienced fisherman and you can see his love of the sport as he works the boat by himself. Mario is extremely professional and personable. The boat is immaculately clean. Catching fish is never a guarantee but Mario never quits working. We had a successful day and caught some Kings. We even had a really big one that got away (doesn’t everyone). If you are in the Ft Lauderdale/Miami area and are looking for a fishing trip, I highly recommend No Vacansea. I will see you again Mario. Thanks again for a great day on the water.

This was a great experience, especially for our first time with Mario. He was by far the best sportfishing charter my family had ever been on. Even though the bite was slow we caught a Mahi, wahoo, and sailfish. Thank you.

Charter experience of a lifetime!!!! Captain Mario got us onto some tuna early in the day and eventually hooked a trophy sailfish which I battled for 45 minutes. Very clean boat, experienced Captain who is also a fantastic coach. 10/10 would recommend and hope to be back asap...

That was my second trip with Mario and another amazing experience. It was very windy that day but Boat was surprisingly at home in those waves and captain was totally in control of the situation. I wasn’t expecting much that day with the windy conditions but ended up being a great day of fishing with many King fish and a Barracuda. Overall, without a doubt, i would highly recommend Mario and Kevin.

An outstanding day of fishing. Mario was a wonderful guide. He has a great way with people and really knows his way around South Florida waters. My 12-year-old caught his first tuna and I caught my first king fish. It was awesome.
The highlight was kite fishing. We had never done that and it is an incredibly interesting way to fish. You are able to keep two more lines in the water at a distance from the boat.
Mario made everything very easy and very comfortable. He even called to suggest a different day during the week because the weather would be better for tuna fishing.
An outstanding experience.

Earlier this month a buddy and I were fortunate to charter with No Vacansea Sportfishing. We were not disappointed as Captain Mario Cole put us on fish. Tuna, mackerel and a sailfish (released) were caught. A few other strikes/hookups did not make it to the boat, leaving us to speculate about those that got away. Fresh, tasty filets were thoroughly enjoyed that evening.
Captain Mario’s 32' center console is spacious, clean and affords a comfortable fishing experience. You are only 20 minutes from port to prime fishing grounds, leaving a lot more time to spend with lines in the water.
Whether you are an experienced angler or novice, a charter aboard No Vacansea will prove exciting and enjoyable for all. Can’t wait to join Captain Mario on future excursions.

Hi Steve, Every situation is unique may vary, I'm more than happy to discuss the different situations and pricing by phone at 954-632-9340
Thank you
can i take the fish back to my house and eat it or id it catch and release? Also if I can keep it do you have fish cleaning service for a small extra fee?
Mario C
Hollywood, FL
Yes, you can. Any fish you catch is yours to keep as long as we follow the FWC regulations. Once caught we will keep the fish on board over ice until we get to the dock. I will let you know how tasty the fish is and give you hints on how to prepare. There is no service fee to clean the fish, however, gratuities are greatly appreciated.
