95% of the charter fishing boats are miles inland and take 30 minutes, an hour, or longer to reach the fishing destination. This takes precious time away from your experience. Our fleet is located at the Hillsboro Inlet Bridge, which is less than 2 minutes away from prime fishing grounds. This means you get to fish faster and longer.
Fishing Reports
September, 2026
Mahi-Mahi on the Weed Lines
Flat-calm seas set the scene for a September 19 adventure. Weed lines three to six miles offshore delivered a dozen mahi-mahi, making it a memorable day aboard Killin Time Charter.
July, 2025
Year Round, Full Cooler
July brought hotter weather, which pushed many fish species into deeper, cooler waters. Despite the heat, we found success early in the morning and late in the evening, with notable catches of Mahi and Wahoo.
February, 2024
Spectacular Sailfish Surge
Unforgettable sailfish action dominates, with anglers enjoying double-digit releases. Mahi presence strong, promising thrilling offshore adventures.
Where We Depart
We dock at the Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center, two minutes from the inlet and about five minutes from Lighthouse Point — so you spend your charter fishing, not running. We fish with anglers from Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Coming from Lighthouse Point? See our Lighthouse Point fishing charters.
