Joined Captain Richard and his crew for a trip in January. Bachelor party fishing trip, we we're on the fish all morning and had an absolute blast! Only regret was not packing enough beer to last the whole morning. Great music, brand new tackle and awesome action shots from the day! Highly recommend, can't wait to get back down and set up a Bahamas trip with the team from Family Tradition Sport Fishing!

I’ve had the pleasure of going on two day trips and a three day trip to Bimini with Family Tradition Sportfishing. Capt. Richard and his crew are incredibly professional and their customer service was second to none. Capt. Richard is very knowledgeable about the Bahamas/ Ft. Lauderdale area and all fish species that he pursues. Not to mention that we caught more fish than we could count. All of this made for the best charter experience I’ve ever had!

Fantastic day fishing with a great crew on well run boat. First time deep sea fishing and would definitely do it again with Captain Richard and crew!

We fished with Capt Richard in a sailfish tournament, Richard and his guys didn't give up until the very end, fought for every fish. The boat is modern fast and clean, the crew had a great attitude and catered to our needs. I have probably charted over 30 trips in the past several years and a Capt / crew can make or break a trip, fish or no fish, they definitively made the trip. I recall a salmon trip in Michigan with a totally different boat and capt in which we killed the fish but the Capt had a horrible attitude and was rude, I would never use that other person again. I would recommend Capt Richard and would use him again for a charter in the Fort Lauderdale area.

After a couple dozen deep sea fishing trips out of South Florida over the last couple of decades the trip with Captain Rich and First Mate Eliot was by far the best! If you’re looking for a fun and exciting day of catching fish then Free Bird is the boat for you. Highly recommended!!!

Wow! I can’t recommend Family Tradition Sport any higher. They deserve 10 stars! Captain Richard and Elliott truly know what it takes for a great day of fishing. The boat and equipment were spotless…until we started hauling Sailfish onboard ?. Everyone who fished (6 of us) caught a Sailfish! Absolutely incredible day and I can’t wait to go out again.

A fantabulous, beautiful day on the Freebird with Captain Richard and First Mate Elliot!! 3 Sailfish (2 more got away) 1 Atlantic Sharp Nose Shark and we were fortunate enough to experience a 10ft Great White circling the boat for a half an hour!! The Captain & Mate were extremely professional, fun & passionate . They didn’t sit down from 8am til 4pm!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND & We’ll be back!!

Richard and the crew are hilarious, there was not a moment whilst aboard “Freebird” when I wasn't laughing. I voyaged out on a 6 hour trip and within 40 minutes we landed my first ever sailfish, an hour later we got two more.

Highly recommend Family Tradition Sport fishing, Captain Richard and his mate Elliot are great people and know what they are doing. Got us on plenty of fish in a 4 hour trip. Went on for a bachelor party everyone enjoyed an awesome time. Was an fun boat to be on.

I’ve lived in FL all my life and never had a better trip. I had special circumstances on this private booking that needed special care for a client. The guys were awesome, and on top we caught all the fish in the sea. Perfect experience. These guys can fish. I would give 6 stars!
