What to Expect on the Water
When you step aboard with Deep Blue Fishing Charters, you're getting a personalized fishing experience that adapts to the conditions and your crew's preferences. Captain Eric reads the water, weather, and fish activity to put together a game plan that maximizes your time on the water. The boat and tackle are top-notch, so you can focus on what matters - getting your lines wet and landing fish. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to target specific species or a family wanting to introduce kids to saltwater fishing, this charter adjusts to fit your goals. The flexible timing means you can go with a shorter 4-hour trip if you're testing the waters, or commit to the full 8-hour day when the bite is hot and you want to make the most of it.
Trolling Techniques & Tackle
The beauty of Boynton Beach fishing lies in the variety of techniques you can employ. Captain Eric runs a mix of trolling patterns using outriggers and flat lines to cover water and locate active fish. When trolling for pelagics like mahi, wahoo, and tuna, he'll adjust boat speed and lure selection based on current conditions and bait activity. The boat's equipped with quality rods, reels, and a selection of lures that produce in these waters. For structure fishing around reefs and wrecks, you'll drop baits and jigs to target amberjack and other bottom dwellers. Live bait fishing is also on the menu when conditions allow, especially effective for getting finicky fish to bite. All tackle, bait, and ice are provided, so you just need to bring your fishing license, snacks, and drinks for the day.
Customer Stories
"We had a great 4 hour trip with Capt. Eric. I put yes to catching fish although we didn't land any. Capt. Eric worked hard moving around and trying different techniques in less than ideal weather. We hooked into four fish, the highlight being the sailfish my son was fighting. Even though it got off the hook before being able to get it on the boat, it was amazing watching this fish jump several times. The boat and equipment were in great condition. I would highly recommend booking with Capt. Eric and DeepBlue Fishing Charters. We definitely will book again the next time we back in Florida. Thank you Eric." - John

Species You'll Want to Hook
Blackfin Tuna are year-round residents in these waters and provide fast-paced action on light tackle. These fish typically run 5-15 pounds and are absolute speed demons when hooked. They school up around structure and current breaks, making them perfect targets for both trolling and live bait fishing. What makes blackfins special is their willingness to bite even when other species are finicky, and they're fantastic table fare when prepared fresh.
Mahi Mahi, or dolphinfish, are the crown jewel of offshore fishing around Boynton Beach, especially during their peak season from April through July. These colorful fighters put on an aerial show that'll get everyone on the boat excited. They're often found around floating debris, weed lines, or schools of bait. A good mahi can range anywhere from 5 pounds up to bull dolphins pushing 40+ pounds. Their aggressive feeding behavior means they often travel in schools, so when you find one, there's usually more around.
Greater Amberjack are the muscle cars of the reef. These bottom dwellers can exceed 50 pounds and will test both your stamina and your drag system. They're structure-oriented fish that hang around wrecks, reefs, and ledges in 80-200 feet of water. Peak season runs from October through April, and they're notorious for their initial power run straight back to the bottom. Landing a quality amberjack requires patience and technique, but the fight is worth every minute.
Wahoo are the speed freaks of the offshore world, capable of reaching speeds over 60 mph. These torpedo-shaped predators are typically caught while high-speed trolling, and their initial run will scream line off your reel before you know what hit. They're more common during the cooler months from November through March. Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth and a habit of cutting lines, which adds to the challenge. When you do land one, you're looking at some of the best eating fish in the ocean.
Pacific Barracuda bring excitement with their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. These toothy predators are opportunistic feeders that will hit both lures and live
