Nothing beats the rush of hooking into a screaming King Mackerel or watching a Mahi Mahi light up in brilliant colors as it fights on the line. OutFront Charters has been putting anglers on fish in Boynton Beach's productive offshore waters for years, and their half-day trips are perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking to get their line wet without burning a full day. You'll fish aboard a top-rated 35' Contender center console that's built for both comfort and performance, powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha engines that'll get you to the fish fast and back to the dock smooth.
Your 4-hour adventure kicks off at either 8 AM or 1 PM, depending on what works best for your schedule. The morning trip is a customer favorite since the bite tends to be more active early, but don't sleep on the afternoon session – fish have to eat all day. Captain and crew handle everything from tackle rigging to fish cleaning, so you can focus on what matters most: getting fish in the boat. The 35' Contender gives your group of up to six anglers plenty of room to move around and fight fish without getting tangled up. These boats are renowned in the offshore world for their seaworthiness and fishing layout, with plenty of rod holders, a spacious cockpit, and all the electronics needed to locate schools of baitfish and game fish. Your trip includes all gear, bait, tackle, ice, bottled water, and fishing licenses – basically everything except your lunch and drinks. Pro tip: bring a cooler with snacks and your favorite beverages, and don't forget the sunscreen and polarized sunglasses.
OutFront Charters specializes in trolling the offshore waters, which is hands-down the most effective way to cover water and target multiple species in a single trip. The crew will set up a spread of lures and baited hooks at various depths and distances behind the boat, creating an irresistible buffet for hungry pelagics. You'll typically run 4-6 lines using a mix of ballyhoo, feathers, spoons, and diving plugs – each designed to mimic different baitfish and trigger strikes from specific species. The boat's twin Yamaha engines let you maintain the perfect trolling speed, usually between 6-8 knots, while the crew monitors the fish finder and adjusts the spread based on water temperature, current breaks, and bird activity. When a rod starts screaming, that's your cue to grab it and start fighting. For an extra $100, you can upgrade to include live bait fishing, which is deadly effective when you mark schools of fish on the electronics. Live goggle eyes, pilchards, or blue runners fished on the drift can produce explosive strikes from Sailfish, Mahi, and King Mackerel.
The waters off Boynton Beach are world-class fishing grounds that consistently produce a variety of sought-after offshore species. Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of South Florida offshore fishing, and Boynton Beach sits right in the heart of prime sailfish territory. These acrobatic fighters typically show up in good numbers from November through April, with peak action happening December through February. When you hook a sail, expect spectacular jumps and long runs that'll test your angling skills. Most fish range from 6-8 feet long and put up a fight you'll never forget. What makes them so special is their speed and aerial displays – they're like the sports cars of the fish world.
King Mackerel are another trending target that keeps anglers coming back for more. These toothy speedsters patrol the offshore waters year-round, but spring and fall typically offer the best action. Kings can range from schoolie-sized fish around 10-15 pounds up to monsters pushing 40+ pounds. They're aggressive predators that hit trolled baits hard and make blistering runs when hooked. The key to landing big Kings is having sharp hooks and keeping steady pressure – their razor-sharp teeth can slice through leader material if you're not careful.
Mahi Mahi, or Common Dolphinfish as they're scientifically known, are pure excitement on the end of a fishing line. These colorful fighters are most abundant during the warmer months from April through October, often found around floating debris, weed lines, or schools of flying fish. What sets Mahi apart is their incredible color changes when fighting and their tendency to travel in schools – when you find one, there's usually more nearby. They're also excellent table fare, making them a double win for most anglers.
Cobia are the overlooked gems of offshore fishing in this area. These curious brown sharks (that's what locals call them due to their appearance) are most active from March through June and can grow to impressive sizes. Cobia are sight-fishing opportunities when they cruise near the surface, and they're known for their powerful runs and stubborn fighting style. They're also fantastic eating, with firm white meat that rivals any fish in the ocean.
Swordfish represent the ultimate offshore challenge, though they're more of a bonus species on half-day trips since they're typically targeted during longer deep-drop fishing sessions. When conditions align and the crew spots one basking near the surface, you might get a shot at one of the ocean's most prized gamefish. These prehistoric-looking fighters can exceed 100 pounds and provide battles that last for hours.

Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic sailfish are the flashy speedsters of our offshore waters, easily recognized by that massive dorsal fin and sword-like bill. These beauties average around 50 pounds and 7.5 feet, though we've seen them bigger. They hunt in 30-150 feet of water, often working together to corral baitfish. Winter months are prime time here off Boynton Beach - that's when they migrate through our area following the warm water. What makes them special? The fight is pure acrobatics - they'll jump, dive, and put on a show you won't forget. Plus, they change colors when excited, flashing blues and blacks. Here's a local tip: when you see one, there's usually more around. Keep your baits in the water because they often hunt in small groups, especially the younger fish.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are the bulldogs of the flats - dark brown, shark-looking fish that average 30-50 pounds but can hit 100. They're loners most of the year, cruising shallow reefs, wrecks, and structure in 20-60 feet. Spring migration (March-May) is prime time when they're moving north to spawn. What makes them exciting is the visual aspect - you'll often sight-fish for them near the surface, plus they're incredibly strong fighters that'll test your tackle. The bonus? They're some of the best eating fish in the ocean with firm, white meat. They're curious fish too, often approaching the boat. Here's the trick: when you spot one, don't rush the cast. Let them settle down, then drop a jig right in front of their nose. Bucktails work great, and color doesn't matter much - it's all about placement.
Scomberomorus CavallaKings are the speed demons of our local waters, and they'll test your drag system in a hurry. These silver bullets typically run 20-40 pounds, but the big females can hit 60-plus. You'll find them cruising 40-150 feet deep along the reef edges and structure. They're here year-round, but fall through spring gives you the best shot at trophy fish when they're feeding heavy before spawning. What guests love most is that first screaming run - kings will peel line like nothing else. They're also fantastic table fare with firm, flaky meat that grills beautifully. One thing I always tell people: use a wire leader. Those razor-sharp teeth will cut through mono in a heartbeat. When you hook one, let it run first - trying to stop that initial burst usually ends in a cut-off.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are the most colorful fish you'll catch out here, with brilliant golds, greens, and blues that really pop. They average 15-30 pounds but can push 50-plus. These surface feeders love floating debris, weed lines, and anything that creates shade in 100-300 feet of water. Spring through fall are your best months, especially when the water warms up. What makes them special is the combination of beauty, fight, and taste - they're absolutely delicious with sweet, white meat. They'll also put on an aerial show when hooked. The cool part is they often travel in schools, so when you find one, work the area hard. Pro tip: look for frigate birds diving on bait - they'll lead you right to the mahi. Once you hook up, keep another bait ready because their buddies usually stick around.
Xiphias GladiusSwords are the ultimate offshore challenge - massive fish that average 200-400 pounds and can stretch 12 feet long. These deep-water giants live in 800-1500 feet, coming up at night to feed around 300-400 feet down. They're here year-round, but summer months give you the most consistent action. What draws people to sword fishing is the trophy potential and the technique - it's specialized deep-dropping with heavy weights and lights. When you hook one, prepare for a long battle with powerful runs and jumps. The meat is excellent too - firm steaks perfect for grilling. Since they hunt mainly at night, most trips run evening to early morning. Local tip: fresh squid is king for bait, and don't be afraid to use big hooks - 10/0 or larger. These fish have huge mouths and you want solid hookups on fish this size.
