Whether you’re planning a sandbar outing, sightseeing cruise, or a laid-back day with family and friends, Captain Fred Lackey offers personalized trips that focus on comfort, flexibility, and local knowledge.

Your ride for the day is a restored 2008 Grady White 240 Walkaround, refreshed in 2026 and built to handle the calm waters of the Intracoastal and surrounding areas. Powered by a reliable 225 HP Suzuki outboard, this vessel delivers a smooth ride while giving you plenty of space to relax. The boat accommodates up to six guests, making it ideal for families, couples, or small groups. Onboard features include a bimini top for shade, Bluetooth audio system, cooler with ice and water, and full navigation and safety equipment including GPS, chart plotter, depth finder, VHF radio, and anchor.

Captain Fred brings a unique background to the helm. Before becoming a licensed captain, he worked in the film industry as a hair and special effects artist on more than 40 feature films, including RoboCop. He later spent eight years operating boats and running a charter business in Puerto Rico, gaining valuable experience across different vessels and environments. Today, he combines that experience with a 100-ton captain’s license to offer safe, well-guided trips around Palm Beach.

Trips are fully private and priced per group, not per person. Choose from a 2-hour sandbar trip, a 4-hour extended outing, or a 6-hour guided tour that can include stops near Peanut Island, scenic cruising past Jupiter Island, and optional waterfront dining. Guests are welcome to bring their own food, drinks, snorkeling gear, and water toys.

From sandbar stops to scenic routes, Best Boat Charters keeps things simple, comfortable, and tailored to your group. Book your West Palm Beach boat charter today and enjoy a day on the water with a captain who knows how to make it easy and enjoyable.
