When you're looking for a serious offshore fishing trip in South Florida, OutFront Charters delivers exactly what you're after. This full-day adventure kicks off at 8 AM sharp from Boynton Beach, giving you plenty of time to hit the deep blue and chase some of the most sought-after pelagic species in these waters. You'll be fishing aboard a top-rated 35' Contender center console that's built for the long haul – twin 300 HP Yamahas push this boat through the swells with ease while keeping your crew of up to six anglers comfortable all day long. The captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, and with all gear, bait, tackle, and licenses included, you can focus on what really matters: getting tight to some serious fish.
This isn't your typical half-day trip where you're rushing back to the dock just as the bite turns on. Starting at 8 AM gives you the full morning bite window and keeps you out there when the afternoon action heats up. The 35' Contender is a proven fish-fighting machine – center console design means you can fight fish 360 degrees around the boat, and those twin Yamahas get you to the fishing grounds fast so you're not burning daylight in transit. You'll have room for six anglers without feeling cramped, plus all the amenities you need for a comfortable day offshore. The boat comes loaded with quality gear, fresh bait, and plenty of ice to keep your catch fresh. Your captain handles the fishing licenses, so that's one less thing to worry about. Plus, they'll clean your fish at the end of the trip – a real time-saver when you just want to get home and fire up the grill.
Out here in the deep water off Boynton Beach, trolling is the name of the game for covering water and finding active fish. The boat's rigged with outriggers and downriggers to spread your baits across different depths and distances from the boat. You'll typically run a spread of ballyhoo, bonito strips, and lures that mimic the baitfish these pelagics are feeding on. The captain reads the water conditions, watches for bird activity, and uses his fish finder to locate schools of bait – that's where the action happens. For an extra $100, you can add live bait to the mix, which is a game-changer when fish are being picky about artificials. Live goggle-eyes, pilchards, or blue runners can turn a slow day into a fish-fighting marathon. The technique switches up depending on what you're targeting – slow-trolling live baits for sailfish, high-speed trolling for wahoo, or working structure for mahi and kings.
The waters off Boynton Beach are home to some world-class offshore species that'll test your drag system and your fighting skills. Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of South Florida fishing – these acrobatic fighters average 6-8 feet and put on an aerial show like no other billfish. Best fishing runs from December through April when they're migrating through in big numbers. You'll spot them free-jumping on calm days, and when one grabs your bait, get ready for multiple jumps and blistering runs. King Mackerel are customer favorites for good reason – they hit hard, fight dirty, and taste even better. These toothy speedsters run 15-40 pounds in these waters and are most active from fall through early spring. They'll cut you off in a heartbeat, so wire leaders are a must. Mahi Mahi show up around floating debris, weed lines, and structure, especially during the warmer months. These colorful fighters average 10-25 pounds and are known for their bulldogging fights and excellent table fare. Cobia are the wild cards – these brown submarines can show up anywhere from 20-60 pounds and fight like a freight train. They're curious fish that often swim right up to the boat, giving you sight-fishing opportunities you won't forget. Swordfish are the ultimate offshore challenge, typically targeted in deeper water with specialized techniques. These gladiators can exceed 100 pounds and require heavy tackle and serious patience, but landing one is a lifetime achievement for any angler.

Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic sailfish are the ultimate trophy fish here off Boynton Beach. These beauties average 6-8 feet and around 50 pounds, with that iconic sail-like dorsal fin and blazing speed. You'll find them in 30-150 feet of water, often hunting in small groups near the surface. They're most active during our winter months when the water temps hit that sweet spot of 70-80°F. What makes them special? The fight is pure adrenaline - they'll leap, dive, and put on a show like no other fish. Plus, they change colors when excited, flashing brilliant blues and blacks. My tip: when you see that sail come up behind your bait, resist the urge to set the hook immediately. Let them take it and run first, then tighten up. These fish have hard mouths and they'll shake that hook if you rush it.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are one of the most underrated gamefish out here. These chocolate-brown bruisers average 30-50 pounds and fight like submarines - long, powerful runs that'll test your drag. They're loners, usually found cruising around wrecks, buoys, and other structure in 30-100 feet of water. Spring and early summer are best when they move inshore to spawn. What makes cobia special is they're curious - they'll actually come up to check out the boat, giving you sight-fishing opportunities. The meat is outstanding too, often compared to shark but much better. They're aggressive predators that'll eat just about any bait. Here's my trick: if you spot one following the boat, grab a bucktail jig and drop it right in front of them. Most of the time they can't resist, and once hooked, you're in for a serious battle.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing mackerel, or "kings" as we call them, are some of the fastest and hardest-fighting fish you'll hook offshore. These silver bullets typically run 20-40 pounds, though we see 50+ pounders regularly in deeper water. They patrol depths from 40-150 feet, especially around structure and temperature breaks. Spring through fall is prime time when they migrate through our waters following bait schools. What guests love about kings is their blistering initial runs - they'll strip line faster than almost any fish out there. The meat is excellent too, with firm white flesh that's perfect on the grill. Here's a local trick: use a wire leader with two hooks - one through the nose of your bait, another trailing behind. Kings love to hit the tail end of baitfish, so that stinger hook will save you from a lot of cut-offs.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are hands-down the most beautiful fish we catch offshore. These golden torpedoes average 15-30 pounds and put up one heck of a fight with their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. You'll find them around floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks, usually in 100+ feet of water. They're most active during the warmer months when water temps climb above 75°F. What makes mahi special is that amazing color show they put on when hooked - flashing gold, green, and electric blue. Plus, they're fantastic eating with sweet, firm white meat. They often travel in schools, so when you hook one, keep fishing that same area. My go-to technique is to have a second rod ready with a small jig. Once you boat the first fish, immediately drop that jig down - the rest of the school will still be there.
Xiphias GladiusSwordfish are the holy grail of deep-sea fishing - massive, powerful fish that average 100-200 pounds and live in 800+ feet of water. These gladiators are primarily night feeders, coming up from the depths when the sun goes down. We target them year-round, but summer and fall nights tend to be most productive when the water's warm. What makes swordfish legendary is their size and fight - they're capable of stripping hundreds of yards of line on their initial run. The meat is also premium table fare with that distinctive firm texture. They're ambush predators that use their bills to slash and stun prey. My technique is deep-dropping with heavy weights and bright LED lights to attract them. The key is patience - sometimes you'll wait hours for a bite, but when it comes, you'll know it. Keep your drag loose initially because these fish don't know they're hooked right away.
