Monday March saw us heading out from Riviera Beach City Marina on a 4-hour fishing charter with Tuna Wahoo Charters. The offshore fishing conditions were ideal, giving us the perfect opportunity to try various techniques including deep-sea trolling, kite fishing, and drift fishing. The day delivered steady action with our group landing Yellowtail Snapper, French Grunts, and Sand Tile Fish. The highlight was definitely an Atlantic Sailfish that put up an incredible fight—stripping line and making spectacular jumps. Captain Rich's local knowledge of Palm Beach fishing spots paid off with a diverse and rewarding day on the water. For families looking for a memorable fishing experience in Florida's coastal waters, this charter offers the perfect blend of excitement and accessibility.

What makes this charter truly special is the range of fishing techniques you'll get to try. Captain Rich adapts his approach based on seasonal fish migrations and current conditions, switching between drift fishing, kite fishing, and bottom fishing to give you the best chance at success. The offshore waters around Riviera Beach are known for their productivity year-round, with March being particularly good for Sailfish action. The relatively short 4-hour duration makes this trip perfect for families with children or those who want to experience deep sea fishing without committing to a full day on the water.
The waters off Riviera Beach offer some of Florida's most productive offshore fishing grounds. In March, water temperatures typically range between 72-76°F, creating ideal conditions for Sailfish and various reef species. The Gulf Stream runs close to shore in this area, bringing in pelagic species like Mahi Mahi and Tuna depending on the season. Morning trips often provide calmer seas, which can be particularly beneficial for families or those prone to seasickness.
For the best experience, wear comfortable clothing, bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), and consider taking motion sickness medication if you're uncertain about your sea legs. The boat is well-equipped for fishing, but a light jacket might be useful for the morning chill or unexpected weather changes. Captain Rich provides clear instructions for first-timers, making this charter accessible even if you've never held a fishing rod before.
Tuna Wahoo Charters operates a well-maintained fishing vessel that's fully equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle suited for the targeted species. Safety equipment exceeds Coast Guard requirements, and the boat features comfortable seating, shade, and a restroom for your convenience. The charter typically departs early morning from Riviera Beach City Marina, with Captain Rich recommending arrival 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
The 4-hour trip format is ideal for those wanting to experience offshore fishing without dedicating an entire day. It's long enough to reach productive fishing grounds while maintaining energy levels, especially for younger anglers or first-timers. The captain and mate handle all the technical aspects of fishing—from rigging baits to gaffing fish—allowing you to focus on the enjoyment of reeling in your catch. Don't forget your camera to document your fishing success!
