Arrived at 7am with a cooler and 40lb of ice, ready to catch fish. I had emailed that my husband and I were real enthusiasts and hoped to catch alot. Capt Orlando is a knowledgeable captain and in the first 30 min we caught a sailfish, which he seemed quite pleased and surprised about. It not being quite the season, he made some comment about that being the day in some respect (we had chartered a 6 hour trip) You can’t keep those so that is a very nice photo but nothing more. We caught a bonita and he also seemed quite pleased since he intended to use that the next day on a swordfish expedition. We puttered about in about 6 different locations, only one of which proved fruitful and has soon as we had caught 4 vermillion snapper, we left. I was surprised about that as I just felt like we were getting started but figured he felt like we could do better somewhere else. At this point we had been out about 2 hours and he had yet to hand me a pole; at the locations where nothing was biting, he would set out 3 poles. At the location where he was quite sure we would catch fish, he handed my husband one pole, and that was it, The second time it was baited, my husband handed it to me. This seemed odd to me but I didn’t question it. When I pulled up the 2 fish is when we left. Spent another hour catching nothing when a rainstorm drove us back to the dock. He only charged us for 4 hours which was thoughtful and he fileted our 3 fish but I was disappointed, I spent only 4 minutes with a pole in my hand. Beautiful day but 3 12 inch fish is not a great haul when I feel like they were out there. I think that sailfish wasn’t worth it

I’ve been on a couple charters with Nomad Charters and let me tell you that Orlando is a real professional at his craft. He has a top notch boat with a fantastic ride, even through rougher conditions. Best part? His engines aren’t loud at all! You can easily hold a conversation on the way out to the fishing spot.
I had the privilege of going out with Orlando with a couple buddies of mine and we targeted Tarpon. I had zero experience with this fish and wow was i ever missing out! He put us our first tarpon maybe 30 minutes after we pulled up to his spot! It didn’t even stop there, we all got a Tarpon and we even brought in a huge permit!
This past Friday, we went bottom fishing for Mangrove snapper, we were able to get to our limit with a couple absolute slobs! We also brought in a huge trigger, some yellowtail, a school master and some other stuff. Did I mention the gigantic Bluerunner? Never seen one that huge! That was an awesome fight! Did i mention all this action was with ZERO current? Because it was, absolutely dead current. Didn’t even faze Orlando.
Besides the amazing fishing action, Orlando himself is a great person to be around. He keeps the mood light and if the fish aren’t biting, he finds a way to bring some into the boat. I can’t wait to head out on a trip with him to chase down some sails or tuna!

It is non stop action every time with Nomad Fishing Charters. Orlando is one of the best captains in town. When it comes to offshore fishing in South Florida, Orlando knows everything there is to it. It starts with great bait and it ends with fish for dinner.
I have been lucky enough to have fished with numerous charter boats, but one thing that sets Nomad Fishing Charters is the ability and willingness to teach you every step of the way. Most charters just let you reel in the fish, which Orlando will let you do, but if you want to learn how it’s done Orlando has the patience /​knowledge to teach you.
On the latest adventure with NFC we flew kites and hooked up king fish, bonitas, and the biggest sail fish I have ever caught. The wrap around open fisherman, I think it’s a 30ft + whitewater great boat to fish on.
I will be calling him soon to schedule our next fishing trip.

Captain Orlando is a very friendly and knowledgeable captain. On our charter he was ready for us as we got to the docks, excited to help us land our first sailfish.
As soon as we headed out we caught fresh bait and were fishing in no time. Very comfortable and relaxed ride.
Captain Orlando put us on four sailfish and king fish almost as soon as we got to the fishing grounds.
Myself and my family had an amazing time and would recommend captain Orlando to anyone looking for a great fishing experience.

Captain Orlando is a professional battle tested fisherman who I thoroughly enjoy offshore fishing with in South Florida and the Keys.
On my most recent trip we caught some very nice mutton snappers (on our deep dropped rods), a pair of kingfish, some mahi, and sailfish (on the kites with live bait)! The rods were bending all day long!
His boat «nomad» is also well equipped and maintained key west style center console fishing vessel. The new motors are so quiet you do not even know they are on. Very fast and comfortable ride to the fishing grounds.
I have been out fishing with him several times and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to have a great time and catch a lot of fish!
