Step aboard with Deep Blue Fishing Charters 2 for a world-class 6-hour offshore adventure that puts you right in the heart of South Florida's premier fishing grounds. Our Boynton Beach charter targets the Gulf Stream's most prized gamefish, from acrobatic Sailfish to lightning-fast Wahoo. With a maximum of 4 anglers per trip, you'll get personalized attention whether you're a seasoned angler or picking up a rod for the first time. We head out into the deep blue where the real action happens, and our experienced captain knows exactly where to find the fish that make this stretch of Atlantic waters legendary.
Your morning starts early as we push off from Boynton Beach Inlet and make our way to the productive offshore waters where the Continental Shelf drops off into the abyss. The ride out takes about 30-45 minutes, giving you time to rig up and get pumped for what's ahead. Our top-rated captain reads the water like a book, looking for current breaks, floating debris, and bird activity that signals feeding fish below. You'll be fishing in 100-600 feet of water where the big predators roam. The boat comes equipped with quality tackle, outriggers, and a fighting chair, so you're set up for success whether we're pulling lines or working live bait around structure. The 6-hour timeframe gives us flexibility to move spots and really dial in on what's biting.
We run a combination of techniques that have proven deadly in these waters. Trolling is our bread and butter for covering water and locating schools of pelagic species. We'll pull a spread of lures at different depths and speeds, targeting everything from surface feeders to fish holding deeper in the water column. When conditions are right, we switch to live bait fishing using fresh sardines, pilchards, or ballyhoo that we can purchase before departure. Vertical jigging comes into play when we mark fish on the sonar or find them holding on bottom structure. Our crew walks you through each technique step by step, helping you understand when and why we use different approaches. The gear is tournament-quality stuff that can handle whatever decides to eat your bait, from 30-pound spinning setups to heavy trolling combos rigged for the big stuff.
Blackfin Tuna are year-round residents that provide fast action and great table fare. These footballs typically run 10-25 pounds and fight way above their weight class. They school up around floating debris and current edges, making them perfect targets for both trolling and live bait fishing. What makes them special is their willingness to bite almost any time of year, and when you find one, there are usually more around. The meat is sashimi-grade, so you're looking at dinner and bragging rights in one package.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of South Florida offshore fishing, and Boynton Beach sits right in their migration highway. Peak season runs from December through April, but we see them year-round. These magnificent fish average 6-8 feet and 40-60 pounds, putting on aerial displays that'll have you shaking with adrenaline. They're notorious for their jumping ability and line-peeling runs. Most anglers consider landing a Sailfish the ultimate achievement, and our waters consistently produce some of the best Sailfish action on the East Coast.
King Mackerel, or "Smoker Kings" as we call the big ones, patrol the reef lines and drop-offs throughout the warmer months. These razor-toothed speedsters can reach 40+ pounds and make blistering runs that'll test your drag system. They're ambush predators that crush trolled lures and live baits with savage strikes. What makes Kings exciting is their unpredictability – you never know when a monster is going to explode on your bait. They're also excellent eating when prepared fresh, making them a favorite among anglers who like to take dinner home.
Mahi Mahi bring tropical vibes to our Boynton Beach trips, especially during their peak season from spring through fall. These colorful bulldogs average 15-30 pounds but can reach 50+ in our waters. They're drawn to floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks where they feed aggressively on flying fish and squid. What guests love about Mahi is their willingness to bite artificial lures and their habit of traveling in schools. Find one, and you've likely found several. Their golden flanks and aggressive strikes make them a photographer's dream and an angler's delight.
Wahoo represent the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of reaching 60+ mph when they decide to run. These streamlined missiles typically range from 20-50 pounds in our area, with occasional giants pushing the 60-70 pound mark. They're notorious for their initial run that can strip 200+ yards of line before you even realize what hit you. Wahoo are structure-oriented fish that love reef edges and drop-offs, making them perfect targets for our deep water tactics. Their white, flaky meat is considered among the best eating fish in the ocean, adding culinary value to their sporting qualities.

Step aboard this 2020 212 Sportsmans Open Platinum, built specifically for serious offshore angling in Boynton Beach waters. This well-equipped center console handles the Atlantic swells with ease while you chase sailfish, tuna, and mahi mahi on extended 6-hour runs.

The boat's fish finder cuts through the water column to locate schools and structure, while GPS navigation keeps you on productive fishing grounds.

The icebox keeps your catch fresh and drinks cold during those hot Florida days, and the wireless trolling motor lets you position quietly over prime spots without spooking fish. VHF radio maintains contact with other boats and the coast guard, essential for offshore safety. Whether you're trolling the blue water, working live bait around weed lines, or vertical jigging over reefs, this platform provides the stability and features needed for productive fishing beyond the continental shelf.
Istiophorus AlbicansSailfish are the crown jewel of our offshore trips. These magnificent fish average 6-8 feet and 40-60 pounds, with that iconic sail-like dorsal fin. They cruise the surface waters 30-65 feet down, hunting in schools and putting on aerial shows that'll get your heart racing. Peak season runs December through April when they migrate through our waters. What makes them special is the fight - they'll jump, dive, and strip line like nothing else. While catch-and-release is the norm, the experience is pure gold. We troll with live ballyhoo or pitch baits to raised fish. Here's the key: when a sail comes up behind your bait, don't get excited and reel fast. Let it eat, count to three, then set the hook firmly.
Thunnus AtlanticusBlackfin tuna are the smallest of the tuna family but pack serious punch for their size. Most run 15-30 pounds, though we've seen some push 40+. These fish love warm water over 68°F and hang around the continental shelf in 40-200 feet. They school up with other tunas and put up a scrappy fight that'll surprise first-timers. Best fishing is fall through spring when water temps cool slightly. The meat is excellent - firm and flavorful, perfect for sashimi or grilling. They're fast growers with sharp eyesight, so we scale down to fluorocarbon leaders and smaller circle hooks. Pro tip: when you find one blackfin, keep working that area with live pilchards - they travel in groups and you'll often hook multiple fish.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing mackerel, or "kings" as we call them, are speed demons that'll test your reflexes. These fish typically run 20-40 pounds but can hit 60+ pounds. They patrol depths from 40-150 feet, often around structure or baitfish schools. Fall and winter are prime time when they move closer to shore following bait. Kings are popular because they hit hard, run fast, and make excellent table fare - white, flaky meat that grills beautifully. We use wire leaders since their razor-sharp teeth will cut through anything else. Best technique is slow-trolling live bait or spoons at 8-12 knots. Pro tip: rig your live bait with a stinger hook near the tail - kings love to bite the back half of their prey first, and this setup will hook them every time.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are pure fun - colorful, acrobatic, and delicious. These golden beauties average 15-30 pounds and grow incredibly fast, living only 3-4 years. Look for them around floating debris, weed lines, or any structure in blue water. They're surface dwellers that love warm currents. Spring through fall is peak season when water temps hit 75°F+. What guests love is their wild color changes when hooked - flashing gold, blue, and green before jumping repeatedly. The white, flaky meat is restaurant-quality. We troll the edges or cast to visible schools. When you hook one, leave it in the water briefly - mahi are curious and travel in groups, so the hooked fish will often call in its buddies for multiple hookups on one school.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are pure speed - one of the fastest fish in the ocean hitting 50+ mph. These torpedo-shaped predators average 3-5 feet and 30-60 pounds with distinctive blue stripes along silver sides. They patrol open blue water, often alone or in small groups near floating debris. Best months are fall through spring when they move through our area. What makes wahoo special is that violent strike at high trolling speeds - they'll smoke your reel in seconds. The white meat is premium eating, mild and flaky like premium tuna. We high-speed troll at 12-15 knots with wire leaders since their razor teeth cut everything else. Pro tip: when wahoo fishing, don't slow down after the strike. Keep the boat moving and pressure on - they have soft mouths and hooks pull out easily if you give them slack.
