Highlights of Deep Sea Fishing Charters

This full-day offshore adventure targets big game fish including sailfish, mahi mahi, swordfish, bonito, and king mackerel in the productive waters off West Palm Beach. We run multiple fishing techniques including trolling spreads, live bait fishing, and drift fishing to cover different depths and species preferences. The fall season provides excellent conditions with comfortable temperatures and active fish feeding patterns. Our experienced captain knows the local structure, current breaks, and seasonal hotspots that produce consistent action throughout the day.

Recent trips have produced impressive variety including yellowfin tuna, king mackerel, pacific barracuda, and hardhead sea catfish using deep sea trolling techniques. The partly cloudy conditions create ideal fishing weather while we work the deeper waters where these species congregate. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to offshore fishing, our professional guidance ensures you'll learn proper techniques while enjoying the thrill of bent rods and screaming drags.

Local Species Insights: Hardhead Sea Catfish

Hardhead sea catfish are abundant in the inshore and nearshore waters around West Palm Beach, particularly during the fall months when they move into deeper structure areas. These hardy fish are excellent fighters on light tackle and provide consistent action when targeting mixed species offshore. They feed actively on small fish, crabs, and shrimp around structure, making them a reliable catch when drift fishing or using live bait near the bottom. While often considered a bonus fish, hardhead catfish can reach impressive sizes up to 28 inches and provide excellent table fare when properly prepared, with firm white meat that's perfect for fish tacos or blackened preparations.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our deep sea fishing charters depart early morning from Riviera Beach City Marina aboard a fully equipped offshore fishing vessel. We provide all necessary safety equipment, fishing gear, and tackle for up to 6 anglers. The boat features comfortable seating, shade, and storage for your personal items and catch. Captain Rich brings decades of local knowledge and professional guidance to ensure both novice and experienced anglers have a successful day on the water. We recommend bringing sunscreen, hats, snacks, and beverages for the full-day adventure. All fishing licenses are included in your charter rate, and we'll clean your catch at the dock so you can take home fresh fish for dinner.
