Offshore Fishing
Fullday offshore charter targeting multiple fish speciesAll equipment and fishing licenses included onboardEarly morning departure maximizes fishing time and locations
When you're looking for a serious day of offshore fishing in Boynton Beach, this 8-hour charter with Strike Mission Fishing delivers exactly what anglers want. You'll head out at 7:00 AM on a well-equipped 26ft boat that handles the offshore waters with confidence, giving your group of up to 6 people plenty of room to fish comfortably. The early start means you're hitting prime fishing hours when the offshore bite is most active, and with 8 full hours on the water, you've got time to work different areas and stay on the fish when they're feeding heavy.
This charter runs like a top-rated fishing operation should - everything's handled so you can focus on fishing. Your captain provides all rods, reels, tackle, and takes care of the fishing licenses, which means you show up ready to fish without worrying about gear or paperwork. The boat's set up for longer offshore runs, so you're not stuck fishing close to shore where the crowds are. You'll have options between trolling for pelagic species and dropping down for bottom fish, depending on what the conditions look like and where the fish are showing up that day. Live bait fishing is available too, though you'll purchase bait separately - this gives you flexibility to switch up tactics when the fish get finicky or when you want to target specific species that respond better to live offerings.
Boynton Beach offshore fishing means working the Gulf Stream edge, weed lines, and structure that holds fish consistently. Trolling is often the go-to method here - you'll pull a spread of lures at different depths to cover water and locate active schools of mahi, kings, and sailfish. The boat's rigged for serious trolling with outriggers and downriggers to present baits properly at various levels in the water column. When you mark fish on the bottom or want to target cobia around floating debris, you'll switch to bottom fishing or live bait techniques. The captain reads the water and conditions to decide which approach gives you the best shot at consistent action. Having 8 hours means you can work an area thoroughly, move when the bite slows down, and really dial in on what's working that particular day.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of Boynton Beach offshore fishing, and these acrobatic billfish put on a show that gets every angler's heart pumping. Sailfish typically run 6-8 feet long and are most active from November through April when they migrate through South Florida waters. They're known for their spectacular jumps and blazing fast runs that'll test your drag system and fighting skills. What makes sailfish special is their willingness to eat trolled baits and their habit of showing up in numbers - when you find one, there's often more in the area.
King Mackerel are another customer favorite that shows up consistently in these waters. Kings range from schoolie fish around 10-15 pounds up to smoker kings pushing 40+ pounds that'll make long, blistering runs. They're active year-round but peak in spring and fall when baitfish migrations bring them close to the reefs and wrecks. Kings are aggressive feeders that respond well to both trolled spoons and live bait, and they're excellent table fare when handled properly on ice.
Mahi Mahi bring the color and excitement that offshore anglers crave. These golden, green, and blue beauties are fast-growing fish that typically run 10-30 pounds in these waters, though bull dolphins over 40 pounds show up regularly. Mahi are most abundant from spring through early fall and have a habit of traveling in schools around floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks. They're aggressive feeders that'll hit trolled baits, live bait, and even lures cast to visible fish, making them a blast to catch on lighter tackle.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of hitting 60+ mph and making runs that'll smoke your reel in seconds. These torpedo-shaped predators typically weigh 20-50 pounds and are prized for their incredible fighting ability and excellent eating quality. Wahoo are more common in winter months and are often caught while trolling high-speed lures along the reef edge and drop-offs. Their razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast strikes make them a challenge to hook and land consistently.
Cobia round out the target species list as one of the most underrated fighters in the offshore arsenal. These brown sharks look-alikes average 20-40 pounds but can exceed 60 pounds, and they're known for their bulldogging fights and curious nature around the boat. Cobia are most active from spring through fall and are often found around floating debris, sharks, and rays. They respond well to live bait and will often eat a bait dropped right in front of them, making them a favorite target for sight fishing when conditions allow.
An 8-hour offshore charter gives you the time and flexibility to make the most of Boynton Beach's world-class fishing opportunities. With all gear included, experienced guidance, and access to productive offshore waters, this trip delivers the kind of fishing experience that keeps anglers coming back season after season. The early start time, spacious boat, and variety of fishing techniques mean you're set up for success whether you're after that first sailfish, looking to fill the cooler with kings and mahi, or hoping to tangle with a screaming wahoo. Book your spot now and get ready for a full day of offshore action that'll remind you why South Florida fishing has such a strong reputation among serious anglers.
Your fishing platform for the day is a solid 26ft Goldline pilothouse that's built to handle Boynton Beach's offshore waters with ease. This motorboat comfortably fishes up to 6 anglers and comes rigged with outriggers and downriggers for serious trolling action. The pilothouse design keeps you protected while still giving you quick access to the action when fish hit the lines. The boat's loaded with everything you need to find and catch fish - GPS keeps you on the productive spots, radar helps navigate safely in changing conditions, and the fish finder shows you what's swimming below. A wireless trolling motor lets the captain position the boat quietly over structure without spooking the fish. The onboard icebox keeps your catch fresh and your drinks cold during the full 8-hour day. Whether you're working the reefs for snappers and groupers or trolling the blue water for mahi, kingfish, and sailfish, this stable platform gives you the range and comfort needed for a productive day on the water. The boat handles the offshore runs smoothly, so you spend more time fishing and less time getting beat up by the waves.
Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic sailfish are the crown jewel of offshore fishing here. These stunning fish average 7-8 feet and around 50 pounds, with that iconic sail-like dorsal fin and metallic blue coloring. They're lightning fast and put on quite a show, jumping and tail-walking when hooked. We find them in 30-65 feet of water, often hunting in small groups near the surface. Winter through spring gives us our best action when they migrate through our waters. What makes them special is that explosive fight - they'll test your endurance with long runs and aerial displays. The meat's decent, but most folks release these beauties. Pro tip: when trolling, keep your baits skipping on the surface with bright pink and white lures. Once hooked, let them make their initial run before applying steady pressure.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are like the bulldogs of offshore fishing - big, strong, and built for power. These brown, shark-looking fish average 40-60 pounds and fight with pure muscle, making long runs and bulldog pulls. They're curious fish that cruise shallow reefs, wrecks, and structures in 30-70 feet, often coming right up to check out the boat. Spring migration brings our best action as they move through heading north to spawn. What guests love is the visual aspect - we often spot them cruising near the surface - and their excellent table fare with firm, white meat. They're opportunistic feeders that'll hit just about anything. My favorite technique is sight-fishing with bucktail jigs when we see them cruising. Drop a 6-8 oz jig right in front of them and work it slowly. They can't resist investigating.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing mackerel, or "kings" as we call them, are some of the hardest fighting fish you'll find offshore. These sleek predators average 30 pounds but can push 50+ pounds, with razor-sharp teeth that'll cut through regular line in seconds. They cruise in 40-150 feet around structure, wrecks, and ledges. Fall through spring is prime time when they move through our area following bait schools. What guests love is their blistering speed - they'll strip drag like nobody's business and make long smoking runs. The meat is excellent, though watch out for the high mercury content. My go-to method is slow-trolling live bait with wire leaders - kings love to hit the back half of a baitfish. Always use a two-hook rig with one through the nose and a stinger hook trailing behind.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are pure fun on light tackle and absolutely beautiful fish. They average 15-30 pounds with that distinctive golden color and high forehead on the bulls. These surface dwellers love floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks in blue water. Spring through fall is our best season when they follow the warm water north. What makes them special is their acrobatic fight and outstanding table fare - firm, white meat that's perfect for the grill. They're curious fish that often travel in small schools, so when you hook one, keep the spread out for multiple hookups. Here's my trick: once you boat one, keep it in the water next to the boat as a teaser while you cast to the rest of the school. Works like magic to keep them fired up and around the boat longer.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, hitting lures at 40+ mph and making screaming runs that'll test your drag system. These torpedo-shaped predators average 3-5 feet and pack serious power in that streamlined body. We find them in open blue water, often around floating debris or current edges in 60+ feet. Summer through fall brings the best action when they're most active in our area. What anglers love is their explosive strikes and that incredible initial run - pure adrenaline. The meat is outstanding too, white and flaky with a mild flavor that's perfect for fish tacos. The key is high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with wire leaders - their razor teeth will slice through anything else. Dark-colored lures work best, and don't slow down when you get a strike. Keep that boat moving to set the hook properly.
