When you're looking for serious offshore action in South Florida, this 4-hour charter out of Boynton Beach hits all the right spots. Captain Adam knows these waters like the back of his hand, and his 26-foot rig is set up perfectly for whatever's biting out there. Whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who just picked up a rod, this trip gives you the real deal - no tourist traps, just solid fishing in some of the most productive waters along the Atlantic coast. You'll head out at 7 AM when the fish are most active, and with room for up to 6 anglers, it's perfect for families, buddy trips, or corporate outings that want something different.
This isn't your typical head boat experience where you're elbow-to-elbow with strangers. Captain Adam runs a clean operation with a focus on putting you on fish, not just burning fuel. The boat's equipped with quality electronics to mark fish and structure, plus all the rods, reels, and tackle you'll need are included in your trip. You won't waste time rigging up or figuring out what lure to throw - that's all handled for you. The captain reads conditions each morning and adjusts the game plan accordingly. Some days that means trolling the reef line for kings and mahi, other days it's dropping baits on structure for cobia and bottom fish. If you want to bring live bait, grab some before you head to the dock - it can make all the difference when fish are finicky. The boat runs smooth in typical seas, and there's enough deck space to fight fish without getting tangled up with your buddies.
Boynton's offshore waters offer multiple approaches depending on what's happening. Trolling is bread and butter work - pulling ballyhoo, spoons, and plugs along the reef edge and color changes where pelagics cruise. The captain knows which spreads work best and how to adjust for boat traffic and conditions. When bottom fishing, you're looking at structure in 60-120 feet, dropping live or cut bait for whatever's holding tight to the reef. Circle hooks are standard to reduce gut hooking, and the tackle is sized right for the target species. Live bait fishing takes more patience but often produces the biggest fish - especially when mahi are schooled up or sailfish are tailing baits. The key is staying flexible and letting the captain make the calls based on what he's seeing on the water. Wind direction, current, bait activity - all these factors influence where and how you fish, and experience reading these signs separates good trips from great ones.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of Boynton Beach offshore fishing, and for good reason. These acrobatic fighters average 6-8 feet and put on aerial shows that'll get your heart pumping. Fall through spring is prime time when they follow baitfish south along the reef line. What makes sails special isn't just their jumps - it's the way they test every part of your tackle and technique. One minute you're gaining line, the next they're screaming drag and going airborne. Most anglers practice catch and release with sails, making for great photos and conservation-minded fishing.
King Mackerel patrol these waters year-round but peak during cooler months when they school up and feed aggressively. These silver torpedoes hit trolled baits hard and make blistering runs that'll smoke your drag if it's not set right. Kings in the 15-30 pound range are common, with occasional fish pushing 40-plus pounds. They're excellent table fare when bled and iced immediately, making them a favorite for anglers who like to take dinner home.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish are pure excitement when you find them. These colorful fighters love floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks where baitfish concentrate. What makes mahi special is their tendency to school - find one and there are usually more nearby. They hit lures aggressively and fight with powerful runs and jumps. The smaller schoolies are perfect for lighter tackle, while bull dolphin over 20 pounds test your skills and equipment.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of runs that'll make you question your drag settings. These streamlined predators love high-speed trolling presentations and often hit when you least expect it. Their razor-sharp teeth and explosive strikes make them a challenge to land, but their white, flaky meat is considered among the best eating fish in the ocean. Peak season runs from fall through early spring.
Cobia are the wildcards that make every drift exciting. These bronze-colored bruisers cruise structure and often come right up to the boat out of curiosity. They're sight fishing at its finest - you'll see them swimming near the surface and get shots with live bait or jigs. Cobia fight with powerful runs and stubborn determination, often diving back toward structure when hooked. They're excellent eating and provide some of the most visual fishing you'll find offshore.
This 4-hour charter delivers everything you want in an offshore fishing experience without the commitment of a full-day trip. Captain Adam's local knowledge, quality equipment, and flexible approach give you the best shot at memorable catches and good times on the water. The 7 AM departure gets you out when conditions are typically best, and the boat size keeps things comfortable while still being able to handle offshore seas. Whether you're targeting dinner, looking for that photo fish, or just want to spend time on the water with friends and family, this trip checks all the boxes. Licenses are included, tackle is provided, and the only thing you need to bring is your enthusiasm for fishing. Book now and get ready to see why Boynton Beach offshore fishing keeps anglers coming back year after year.
Captain Adam's 26ft Goldline pilothouse is built for serious offshore fishing in Boynton Beach waters. This stable platform handles both trolling runs and bottom fishing spots with ease, keeping up to 6 anglers comfortable during the full 4-hour trip. The boat comes loaded with outriggers and downriggers for spreading lines, plus fish finder technology to locate productive areas. GPS and radar keep you on target even when visibility drops. The wireless trolling motor lets you position quietly over structure without spooking fish. An icebox keeps your catch fresh and drinks cold throughout the day. All rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses are included, so you just need to bring live bait if that's your preference. Whether you're working the reefs or heading further offshore, this clean, well-equipped vessel gives you the tools and stability needed for productive fishing in South Florida waters.
Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic sailfish are the showboats of offshore fishing - these 7-8 foot fish averaging 50 pounds put on a real display when hooked, leaping repeatedly and making long runs. We find them year-round in 30-65 feet of water, but winter months are prime time here off South Florida. They're built for speed with that massive dorsal sail and sharp bill, hunting baitfish like sardines and mackerel. What makes them special is their fighting style - pure acrobatics that'll test your endurance. They change colors when excited, flashing blues and blacks while hunting. For the best shot at one, I like to slow-troll live bait and let it swim naturally. When they take the bait, don't rush - let them run first before setting the hook firm.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are the brown submarines of the offshore world - big, powerful fish that average 40-60 pounds and can top 100. They cruise just under the surface around structure like wrecks, reefs, and buoys in 30-70 feet of water. Spring migration brings the best action when they move through our area to spawn. What makes cobia special is they're sight fishing targets - you can actually see them swimming and cast right to them. They're curious fish that'll often follow the boat, giving you multiple shot opportunities. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish in the ocean with firm, white meat. My favorite technique is sight fishing with bucktail jigs or live crabs. When you spot one, make a long cast ahead of where it's swimming and work the bait slowly.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing mackerel are speed demons that'll strip line faster than you expect. These silvery torpedoes average 30 pounds but can hit 90+, and they're built to hunt with razor-sharp teeth that'll slice right through regular leaders. We target them in 40-150 feet around structure or drop-offs, with fall and winter being prime season when they move through our waters. What guests love is the initial run - kings take off like freight trains and keep fighting all the way to the boat. They're also fantastic eating with firm, flaky meat. My go-to setup uses wire leaders and two-hook rigs because these fish love to hit bait from behind. Troll fast with live bait skipping on the surface, or slow-troll ballyhoo with a diving plug.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are the rainbow warriors of the offshore world - brilliant gold and blue colors that put on a light show when they come out of the water. These fast-growing fish average 15-30 pounds and love hanging around floating debris, weed lines, and structure. We see them best during warmer months when water temps hit the mid-70s or higher. They're aggressive feeders that'll hit trolled baits hard and fight with jumps and strong runs. What makes them a favorite is they're both fun to catch and amazing on the table - sweet, firm white meat that's hard to beat. They often travel in small schools, so where there's one, there's usually more. Look for birds diving on baitfish or any floating objects - that's where mahi like to hang out and ambush prey.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are pure speed - these silver bullets can hit 60 mph and will test your drag system like nothing else. They average 3-5 feet and 40-60 pounds, with zebra stripes along their sides and a mouth full of sharp teeth that require wire leaders. We find them year-round but peak season is July through November in deeper water around 100+ feet. What makes wahoo special is that blistering initial run - they'll peel off 200 yards before you know it. They're also premium table fare with delicate, flaky white meat. These fish are loners, so it's usually one at a time. High-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with diving plugs or ballyhoo works best. Keep your drag smooth and be ready for that screaming run when they hit.
