Lighthouse Point Fishing Charters
Killin' Time Charter runs private fishing charters for Lighthouse Point anglers from the Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center, about five minutes from town. Our 53' Hatteras takes up to six people on 4-hour, 6-hour and 8-hour trips starting at $800, with captain, mate, tackle, rods, reels, bait, ice and bottled water all included. Because we dock two minutes from the inlet, a half day out of Lighthouse Point is genuinely a half day of fishing rather than a half day of running offshore. Captain Tom Oberrender has held a U.S. Coast Guard 100-Ton Masters License since 1993 and has fished these waters for more than twenty-five years.
What Every Lighthouse Point Charter Includes
The price is for the boat, not per person — up to six anglers for the same rate.
A licensed captain and a mate for the whole trip
All tackle, rods and reels
Bait, ice and coolers
Bottled water
Free parking at the dock
Your catch cleaned and bagged before you leave, when it is legal size and good eating
Your Florida fishing licence — our vessel license covers everyone on board, so you do not need to buy one
What is not included: food and drinks (bring your own, we have coolers), and gratuity for the crew, which most charters set at 15–20% of the trip price.
Trips from Hillsboro Inlet
The price is for the boat, not per person — up to six anglers for the same rate.
Half Day — 4 hours — from $800. Runs 8:30am–12:30pm or 1:30pm–5:30pm. Best for first-timers, families and anyone who wants to be back for lunch. We fish the reef and the edge for mahi, kingfish, snapper and bonito.
Three-Quarter Day — 6 hours — from $1,150. Runs 7:00am–1:00pm or 12:00–6:00pm. The extra two hours let us push out to deeper water and stay on a bite when we find one. This is the trip most repeat customers book.
Full Day — 8 hours — from $1,495. Runs 7:00am–3:00pm. Enough time to run for sailfish and wahoo, work multiple depths, and try more than one plan if the first one is slow.
All three are private trips for up to six anglers. See full rates and what's included.

Getting here from Lighthouse Point
We're at the Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center, 2705 N Riverside Dr., Slip #10, Pompano Beach, FL 33062 — about a five-minute drive from Lighthouse Point, just south of the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse. Parking at the dock is free.
Plan to arrive 15–30 minutes before your trip so we can get you aboard and out on time. Allow a little longer in season and on holiday weekends, when traffic on the bridge backs up.
From the dock it's about two minutes to the inlet and straight out to blue water, which is the reason a four-hour trip from here is worth more than a four-hour trip from a marina further inland.
