stephen boucher, Guide at Tropical Tides Fishing Charters

Get ready for a great day on the water with Tropical Tides Fishing Charters, your South Florida connection to inshore and nearshore action. Based in a region rich with diverse habitats, Capt. Steve has spent years learning these waters and knows exactly where the fish like to feed. Whether you’re here to check a species off your list or just want to relax with friends or family, this trip has something for everyone.


The local fishery offers a full lineup of in-demand gamefish. Depending on the season and conditions, you could find yourself tangling with Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Bonefish, Tripletail, or Cobia. Looking to bring home some dinner? You’ll also find Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, and even Black Drum in these parts. And if you’re up for a challenge, keep an eye out for Goliath Grouper lurking around structure.


Your fishing style will depend on the target species and time of year, but common techniques include spinning, trolling, and bottom fishing. Capt. Steve adapts to conditions and always has a game plan ready to give you the best chance of catching fish. If the bite slows down, he's not the type to wait it out — he’ll move, adjust tactics, or switch spots until something hits.


Tropical Tides runs a 23’ bay boat built for shallow flats and coastal cruising. With a capacity for up to 4 passengers, it’s the right size for small groups who want a personalized experience. The vessel is equipped with all the gear you need, including rods, reels, and tackle. Live bait is often used and may be caught during the trip, depending on what’s biting and where.


This charter is family-friendly, and kids are more than welcome aboard. If you're bringing little ones, check ahead about child-sized life vests or bring your own. Snacks are always a smart move, especially with young anglers in tow.


Capt. Steve supplies your fishing license, so all you need to bring is sunscreen (no spray, please), sunglasses, a hat, and drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but leave the glass bottles and hard liquor at home.


Whether you're chasing trophy fish or just looking for a good day on the water, Tropical Tides Fishing Charters is ready to show you what South Florida fishing is all about. Call Capt. Steve and book your trip today — the tides are calling.
