Highlights of Family-Friendly Palm Beach Fishing Charters

This 4-hour trip offers the perfect introduction to Palm Beach's productive offshore waters. Captain Rich employs various fishing techniques including drift fishing, kite fishing, and bottom fishing based on conditions and seasonal migrations. The versatile approach gives you opportunities to catch different species throughout the year.

While trolling for Mahi might not always produce, the bottom fishing can be excellent for species like Yellowtail Snapper, Sandtile fish, Porgies, and Grunts. The light tackle fishing for Bonita provides exciting action as well. This charter is particularly well-suited for families with children or beginners who want to experience the thrill of offshore fishing without the commitment of a longer trip.

Local Species Insights: Cobia

Cobia are one of the most sought-after gamefish in the Riviera Beach area. Often mistaken for sharks due to their distinctive dorsal fin, these powerful fish can be found around structure, reefs, and wrecks offshore. They're known for their strong runs and fighting ability once hooked.

Captain Rich targets Cobia using both bottom fishing techniques and sight fishing when they follow larger marine animals like rays and sharks. The waters off West Palm Beach provide excellent Cobia habitat, especially around the artificial reefs and natural structure. Spring through early summer typically offers the best Cobia action, making our June trip perfectly timed. When hooked, be prepared for a battle – these fish are pound-for-pound some of the strongest fighters in these waters.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your day on the water with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at Riviera Beach City Marina about 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. The boat is equipped with all necessary fishing gear, safety equipment, and electronics for locating fish. With capacity for up to 5 guests, there's plenty of room for family or friends.

Weather conditions can change quickly in South Florida waters, so dress in layers and bring sun protection, including hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. While food and beverages are welcome aboard, remember to bring cash for live bait costs and gratuity. The 4-hour format provides enough time to experience different fishing techniques while keeping the trip manageable for those with less experience or younger anglers.
