About Your Trip

Are you ready for a fishing adventure like no other? Join Captain Janot on an inland fishing charter in Palm Beach, FL, where you'll be chasing some of the most exciting and exotic invasive species in the area! That includes the iconic Peacock Bass, a variety of invasive Cichlid species, Giant Snakeheads, and more!

Every single one of these species are a blast to catch, and their exciting fighting abilities are only matched by their vibrant colors and patterns. Peacock Bass in particular are known for their huge surface blow-ups, as well as their brilliant orange, yellow, red, and green coloration. These fish are known for their striking appearance and their ability to put up a strong fight, making them a true challenge for even the most experienced angler. Cichlids are very diverse, but all the species you'll see here in the Florida canals are brightly colored and highly aggressive. Get out there and catch a bunch!

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

The deposit for this trip is non-refundable (but if the weather is too bad to go out, you will still receive a credit back to your account).

If the weather doesn’t cooperate you’ll be covered by our 100% weather guarantee and you won’t lose your deposit.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
