Offshore Fishing
6-hour offshore charter accommodates up to 6 guests comfortablyTrolling and bottom fishing options with all equipment providedEarly morning departure maximizes fishing time at multiple spots
When you want serious fishing time without feeling rushed, this 6-hour offshore charter out of Boynton Beach hits the sweet spot. Starting at 7:00 AM, you'll have plenty of daylight to work multiple fishing zones and dial in what's biting. The 26-foot boat handles offshore conditions with ease, giving your crew of up to 6 anglers room to spread out and fish comfortably. Whether you're after pelagic speedsters or prefer working the bottom structure, this charter adapts to conditions and what you want to target. All your gear is covered – rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses – so you can focus entirely on putting fish in the boat.
Your captain will read conditions that morning and set a game plan based on what's been producing. Some days call for trolling the blue water edge where the Gulf Stream pushes bait and attracts big pelagics. Other times, you'll anchor up on productive bottom structure and drop baits for cobia, grouper, and snapper. The beauty of a 6-hour window is having time to try different approaches – maybe start trolling at first light, then switch to live bait or bottom fishing once you locate fish. If you want to upgrade to live bait fishing, that's available for an additional cost and can be a game-changer when fish are finicky. The boat's setup handles both fishing styles well, with outriggers for trolling spreads and plenty of rail space for bottom fishing multiple rods.
Trolling here typically means pulling ballyhoo, cedar plugs, and diving plugs through temperature breaks and color changes where predators hunt. Your captain will adjust trolling speed and lure selection based on target species – slower for mahi and wahoo, faster clips for kings and sailfish. When bottom fishing, you'll work circle hooks with cut bait or whole fish on heavy tackle designed to pull fish away from structure. The live bait option opens up sight fishing opportunities, especially for cobia cruising near the surface or working under floating debris. All tackle is sized appropriately for the species you're targeting, from 20-pound spinning gear for mahi up to 50-pound conventional setups for big kings and wahoo. The crew handles leader rigging, bait prep, and gear setup so you can concentrate on fighting fish.
Atlantic sailfish are the crown jewel of South Florida offshore fishing, and Boynton Beach sits in prime sailfish territory. These acrobatic billfish typically show up in good numbers from November through March when cooler water temperatures bring them closer to shore. Sailfish average 6-8 feet and 40-60 pounds, known for their spectacular jumps and long runs that test your drag system. What makes them special is the visual excitement – watching a sailfish light up and attack a trolled bait, then go airborne multiple times during the fight.
King mackerel are year-round residents here and one of the most reliable targets for offshore charters. These toothy speedsters range from school-sized 10-15 pounders up to smoker kings pushing 40-50 pounds. Kings are aggressive trolling fish that hit hard and make blistering runs, often jumping clear of the water. They're excellent table fare when bled and iced properly, making them a customer favorite for both the fight and the cooler.
Mahi mahi bring non-stop action when you locate a school, with their brilliant colors and acrobatic fights making them a blast on lighter tackle. These fish travel in packs around floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks. Mahi typically range 10-25 pounds locally, though bull dolphins over 40 pounds show up regularly. They're known for their beautiful golden-green coloration and provide some of the best eating fish in the ocean.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the deep, capable of runs over 60 mph and equipped with razor-sharp teeth that can slice through leaders in seconds. These torpedo-shaped predators prefer the deep blue water and typically range 20-50 pounds, though 60+ pound fish aren't uncommon. Wahoo hits are explosive, often resulting in screaming runs that strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds. Their white, flaky meat rivals any fish for table quality.
Cobia are the gentle giants of the offshore scene, curious fish that often approach the boat and can be sight-fished with live bait or jigs. These brown sharks look-alikes range from 20-60 pounds and are known for their powerful, bulldogging fights. Cobia are most active during warmer months and often cruise near the surface, making them exciting targets for sight fishing when conditions allow.

The boat's layout maximizes fishing space while maintaining comfort for extended offshore sessions in South Florida waters.
Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic sailfish are the speed demons of South Florida waters, reaching up to 60 mph with that signature sail-like dorsal fin. These blue-gray beauties average around 7 feet and 50 pounds, though we've seen them push 100+ pounds out here. They cruise the surface waters between 30-65 feet, often hunting in small groups using their bills to stun baitfish. Winter through spring gives us the best action when they're feeding heavily on sardines and mackerel. What makes them special? That first jump when hooked - they'll leap repeatedly trying to throw the hook. Plus they change colors when excited, flashing blues and blacks. Here's a local tip: when you see one, there's usually more nearby, so keep multiple baits in the water and be ready for doubles.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are the brown sharks that aren't sharks - these chocolate-colored bruisers average 30-60 pounds and fight like they're twice that size. They're loners, usually found cruising around structure like wrecks, buoys, and reefs in 30-100 feet of water. Spring migration from March through May is prime time when they move north along our coast. What guests love is the visual fishing - we spot them swimming near the surface and pitch baits right to them. They're incredibly strong fighters that will test your tackle and endurance. The meat rivals crab for sweetness and texture. Local tip: when you see one cobia, slow down and work the area thoroughly with jigs or live bait. They often hang in small groups around the same structure, and patience usually pays off with multiple fish.
Scomberomorus CavallaKings are the workhorses of our offshore trips - fast, aggressive, and great on the dinner table. These silver bullets typically run 20-40 pounds, but we catch plenty in the 50+ range during peak season. They patrol depths from 40-150 feet, usually relating to structure, drop-offs, or temperature breaks. Fall through early spring is prime time when they move through our waters following bait schools. What guests love about kings is their blistering initial runs - they'll scream line off your reel faster than almost any fish out there. The meat is excellent too, white and flaky when fresh. One trick that works well here: use a stinger hook when live baiting because kings often grab bait by the tail first, then come back to swallow it headfirst.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are the showstoppers of offshore fishing - brilliant gold and green colors that put on a light show when they come to the boat. Most run 15-30 pounds, but bulls can hit 50+ pounds with that distinctive blunt forehead. They're surface dwellers, usually found around floating debris, weed lines, or temperature breaks in blue water. Spring through fall is our best window, especially when water temps hit the upper 70s. What makes them popular is the combination of beauty, fight, and taste - they're arguably the best eating fish we catch. When hooked, they jump and make strong runs, often bringing friends to the party. Pro tip: when you hook one, leave it in the water briefly while we get more baits out - mahi travel in schools and you'll often catch several from the same spot.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the rockets of the deep blue - sleek, silver fish with blue stripes that can hit 60 mph when they want to. These torpedo-shaped speedsters average 30-50 pounds but can reach 100+ in our waters. They're typically found in 60+ feet of water along drop-offs, weed lines, and around floating debris. Late fall through early spring gives us our best shots when they're moving through following bait. What makes wahoo special is that initial strike - it's like getting hit by a freight train. The meat is premium too, white and flaky with a delicate flavor that's perfect for the grill. Here's a key tip: use wire leaders because their razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono instantly. High-speed trolling around 15 knots with diving plugs or skirted ballyhoo works best.
