Arcadia is based in downtown Miami on the doorstep of Biscayne National Park which is located in the lower part of Biscayne Bay.
Most people are amazed when they experience the park first hand. When they see the water is clear and clean and very similar to what you might find in the Bahamas. Most people visiting Miami seldom see the pristine marine environment that Biscayne National Park has to offer. They tend to do shorter four hour charter trips. Four hour charters don't allow enough time with transit to enjoy the best areas of the the park so they end up staying closer to the Miami Metro area where the water quality is not as nice and the anchorages more congested. A full day charter is the minimum duration we offer to areas where the water is clear, clean and uncrowded. It's well worth the time and the trip!!
A tremendous variety of species are available in the bay, however we tend to focus on the big three, Permit, Bonefish and Tarpon. They are our premier gamefish here in Miami and when all three are caught on the same day it's considered a grand slam on the flats. Miami and Biscayne Bay are known for producing some of the largest of these fish in South Florida and the caribbean. In Biscayne Bay there are always opportunities for getting a good bend in the rod and having a great day on the water. Though we primarily fish flats and backcountry we do make trips offshore occasionally, usually in route to the Keys or the very lower end of Biscayne Bay for an overnight charter. Trolling baits can produce just about anything from a good dinner to a Billfish. Always something exciting!
Offshore!
Inshore!
We catch toothy critters too!
Whether you are a novice, avid or experienced angler, we can put you on fish. For the beginners, we can teach and most likely get you hooked up to your first or you're biggest fish ever!
For the experienced anglers we can give you opportunities for catching fish on your choice of fly or spin tackle. Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit as targeted species primarily but others are available.
Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit are available year round however some seasons/months produce the largest fish and the most consistent fishing.
