When you're looking for solid offshore action without burning a whole day on the water, this 3-hour trolling charter with OutFront Charters hits the sweet spot. Running seasonally from August through November, these trips put you right in the heart of some of the Atlantic's best fishing grounds off Boynton Beach. Whether you grab the 8 AM departure to beat the afternoon wind or the 1 PM slot to sleep in a bit, you'll be fishing prime time when the pelagics are feeding. The boat handles up to six anglers, making it perfect for families, groups of buddies, or anyone wanting to share the cost of a top-rated charter experience.
You'll be fishing aboard a 35-foot Contender center console that's built for serious offshore work. Twin 300 HP Yamaha engines get you to the fishing grounds fast, and once you're there, the wide-open deck gives everyone plenty of room to move around and fight fish without getting tangled up. The boat's designed for trolling, with plenty of rod holders and a clean layout that keeps lines organized. Captain and crew handle all the gear setup, bait rigging, and line management, so you can focus on what you came for – hooking up with some serious gamefish. Everything's included in your trip: all tackle and gear, fresh bait, ice for your catch, bottled water, fishing licenses, and they'll even clean your fish at the end of the day. Just bring yourself, some snacks if you want them, and maybe a cooler if you're planning to take home a nice haul.
Trolling is the name of the game here, and it's one of the most effective ways to cover water and find active fish. The crew sets out a spread of lures and baits behind the boat, typically running four to six lines at different depths and distances. You'll see a mix of diving plugs, spoons, ballyhoo rigs, and maybe some live bait depending on what's working that day. The key is staying mobile and reading the water – looking for weed lines, temperature breaks, and bait schools where predators like to hang out. The GPS and fish finder help locate structure and schools, but there's still plenty of old-school seamanship involved in putting you on fish. When something hits, the crew knows exactly which angler gets the rod, and they'll coach you through the fight to make sure you land your catch. The trolling speed usually runs between 6 and 10 knots, depending on conditions and what species you're targeting.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of these waters, and fall is prime time to tangle with these acrobatic fighters. These fish typically run 6 to 8 feet long and put on an aerial show that'll have everyone on the boat cheering. They're incredibly fast – hitting 60+ mph in short bursts – and when one hits your trolled bait, you'll know it immediately. Sails love the edges of the Gulf Stream where warmer water meets cooler inshore currents. Most anglers practice catch and release with sailfish, and watching one jump repeatedly before a successful release is what keeps people coming back to these waters year after year.
King Mackerel, or "kingfish" as the locals call them, are another customer favorite and excellent eating too. These toothy speedsters typically range from 15 to 40 pounds in these waters, with occasional giants pushing 50-plus. Kings are notorious for their blistering initial runs and sharp teeth that can slice through lighter leaders in a heartbeat. They're most active during the cooler months, making this August through November season perfect timing. The crew uses wire leaders and knows exactly where to find the schools that follow bait migrations along the coast.
Mahi Mahi bring both beauty and great table fare to your cooler. These colorful fish love floating debris, weed lines, and current edges where small baitfish gather. Bull mahi can reach 40 pounds or more, while the smaller "chickens" still provide fantastic sport on lighter tackle. What makes mahi special is their willingness to stay around the boat – land one, and there's often several more in the same area. Their golden-green colors and acrobatic jumps make them a photographer's dream, and they're considered some of the best eating fish in the ocean.
Cobia are the wild cards of the trolling game – these curious brown sharks-looking fish often cruise near the surface and will follow lures right to the boat. They're strong fighters that prefer to slug it out in the depths rather than jump, and they can reach impressive sizes, sometimes topping 50 pounds. Cobia are excellent eating and relatively rare catches, making them prized by anglers who know their worth.
Swordfish represent the ultimate offshore challenge, though they're typically deeper water targets that show up as bonus catches during prime conditions. These legendary fighters can reach massive sizes and are known for their powerful runs and stubborn resistance. Landing a sword on a trolling trip is the kind of story you'll tell for years, and the meat is considered world-class table fare.

Book your spot now and get ready to experience some of the best trolling action on Florida's Atlantic coast.

Modern GPS and fish finder help locate the action, while the large livewell keeps bait fresh and the icebox handles your catch and cold drinks.

With plenty of deck space to move around and fight fish, this Contender gives you everything needed for productive offshore fishing along South Florida's coast.
Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic Sailfish are the ultimate trophy fish - that massive dorsal fin and lightning speed make them pure eye candy on the line. These beauties average around 50 pounds and 7 feet, but their fight feels twice that size. You'll find them cruising near the surface in 30-65 feet of water, especially during our August through November season when they follow the warmer currents. What makes sailfish special isn't just their famous jumps and runs - they actually change colors while fighting, flashing blues and blacks like a neon sign. The meat's decent, but most folks release these for the bragging rights. Pro tip: when you see that sail pop up behind your bait, resist the urge to set the hook immediately. Let them take it and run first, then tighten up - they'll throw the hook every time if you rush it.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are the bulldogs of the offshore world - dark brown, powerful, and built like linebackers. These fish average 40-60 pounds but can push over 100, and they fight like they weigh twice that. They're loners, usually found cruising around structure, wrecks, or floating debris in 30-70 feet of water. Spring through fall is your best shot, especially during their spawning runs. What guests love is that cobia fight dirty - long, stubborn battles with none of the flashy jumps, just pure muscle. The payoff is some of the best eating fish in the ocean, with firm white meat that rivals any restaurant fish. Since they're often mistaken for sharks when you first spot them, don't panic when you see that big brown shadow. Here's the trick: cobia are curious, so if you see one, cut the engines and cast a bucktail jig right in front of them - they'll usually eat it.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing Mackerel are the speed demons of our waters, and they'll test your reflexes when they hit. These silvery torpedoes typically run 20-30 pounds but can push 50+ pounds, and they're built for one thing - pure speed. You'll find them hanging around depths of 40-150 feet, often near structure or temperature breaks. Our August to November window is prime time when they're feeding heavily before their winter migration. What guests love about kings is that initial screaming run - they'll peel line like nobody's business. The meat's excellent too, firm white flesh that grills perfectly, though watch the mercury if you're feeding kids. Here's the key: always use a wire leader and set up a stinger hook behind your bait. Kings love to bite the tail end of baitfish, and you'll lose more than you land without that back hook.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are hands-down the most colorful fish you'll see - brilliant gold sides with electric blue and green that light up like Christmas when they're fighting. These chunky fish average 15-30 pounds and are built like footballs with attitude. They love hanging around floating debris, weed lines, and current edges, usually in that 30-65 foot range where the blue water starts. Our season runs perfectly for them since they follow the warm water. What makes mahi special is they're fighters AND fantastic table fare - sweet, firm white meat that's tough to beat. Plus, where you find one, you'll often find a school, so the action can get crazy fast. The secret is keeping that first fish in the water while you work the school - the others will stick around as long as their buddy's still there. Once you boat that first one, you've got maybe five minutes before the rest scatter.
Xiphias GladiusSwordfish are the ultimate deep-water challenge - massive, powerful fish that can hit 400+ pounds with that iconic flat bill. These giants live in the depths, usually 300-1500 feet down, making them a specialized target that requires serious gear and patience. They're most active at night when they move up to feed, though daytime fishing works if you're willing to go really deep. What makes swords special is the combination of size, fight, and incredible table fare - that firm, meaty texture is restaurant-quality stuff. The battle can last hours with a big one, and every fish feels like a small marlin. Peak season runs through our warmer months when they're following the Gulf Stream. Pro tip for sword fishing: patience is everything. Use bright lights to attract bait, keep your squid baits 200+ feet down, and don't get discouraged if nothing happens for hours - when a sword eats, you'll know it.
