Local Species Insights: Mahi Mahi
Mahi mahi are one of Florida's most sought-after gamefish. They're typically found in the offshore waters, often associating with floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks. In the waters off Riviera Beach, they can be caught year-round but are most abundant during the warmer months from late spring through early fall.
These fish are known for their spectacular colors – electric blues, greens, and gold that fade quickly after the fish is caught. They're incredibly fast growers, reaching sexual maturity in just 4-5 months, which makes them a sustainable fishery. When targeting mahi mahi, Captain Rich typically looks for floating debris, birds working the surface, or uses his electronics to locate temperature breaks where these fish tend to congregate.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the marina about 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, along with non-marking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and motion sickness medication if needed. Most charters provide coolers for drinks and food, but it's always good to confirm what's included when booking.
The boat is equipped with quality fishing gear, fish-finding electronics, and safety equipment. Captain Rich handles all the fishing setup, bait rigging, and will coach you through landing your catch. Trips typically last 4-8 hours depending on the package you select, giving you plenty of time to target mahi mahi and potentially other species like wahoo, tuna, or sailfish depending on the season.
