What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising out of West Palm Beach, the skyline fading behind you as the deep blue of the Atlantic opens up. Within minutes, you're in the fishing grounds where the big boys play. We're talking sailfish that'll make your reel sing, mahi-mahi that light up the water with their electric colors, and hard-fighting king mackerel that'll test your arms. Our experienced captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some serious action. Whether you're a total newbie or have been wetting lines for years, we'll make sure you're in on the fun. And the best part? You'll be back in time for lunch with a cooler full of fish and a camera full of memories.

How We Hook 'Em

On our charters, we don't just toss a line and hope for the best. We use pro techniques that put fish in the boat. Kite fishing is our bread and butter - it's like dangling a tasty buffet right in front of the fish's face. We'll have live baits skipping across the surface, irresistible to sailfish and mahi. When the bite's hot, we might switch to trolling, dragging a spread of lures that mimic fleeing baitfish. And for those stubborn bottom-dwellers like cobia? We'll drop live baits down deep. Our gear is top-notch, well-maintained, and ready for whatever decides to bite. Don't worry if you're new to this - our crew will walk you through every step, from setting the hook to landing that trophy fish.

Fish on the Hit List

Atlantic Sailfish: These are the rockstars of our local waters. Sailfish are known for their incredible aerial displays - when one of these bad boys hits your bait, get ready for a show. They can swim up to 68 mph, making them one of the fastest fish in the sea. We see them year-round, but winter and early spring are prime time. Hooking into a sailfish is an adrenaline rush like no other, and even seasoned anglers get giddy when that sail lights up and starts dancing on the water.

King Mackerel: Don't let their sleek look fool you - these toothy critters pack a punch. "Kings" as we call them, are speed demons that'll make your reel scream. They love to hit fast-moving baits, so trolling for them is a blast. Fall through spring is when they really show up in numbers. What makes kings so fun? It's the combination of their blistering runs and the challenge of getting them to the boat without them cutting the line with those razor-sharp teeth.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish (no relation to Flipper), mahi are the beauty queens of the offshore world. Their electric blue and gold colors are a sight to behold. These acrobatic fish love to jump and put on a great fight. We find them around floating debris or weed lines, often in schools. Spring and summer are peak seasons, but we catch them year-round. Mahi aren't just fun to catch - they're delicious too, making them a favorite for anglers who like to bring dinner home.

Wahoo: If you're looking for speed, wahoo is your fish. These streamlined torpedoes are one of the fastest fish in the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. They're known for their initial run that can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds. Wahoo tend to be loners, so hooking one is always a special treat. Late summer through fall is prime wahoo time in our waters. The challenge of catching these speedsters, combined with their excellent table fare, makes them a prized catch on any trip.

Cobia: These curious fish often show up when you least expect them. Cobia are known for following larger animals like sharks or rays, so keep your eyes peeled. They might look a bit like sharks themselves, but don't be fooled - these bruisers put up one heck of a fight. Cobia tend to stick around structure, so we often target them near wrecks or reefs. Spring is the best time for cobia, as they migrate along our coast. What makes them special? It's their unpredictable nature and their bulldogging fights that can leave even experienced anglers worn out.
