About Your Trip

Join Captains Ricky and David for a world-class fishing adventure off the coast of West Palm Beach. Whether you're a first-time angler or a seasoned fisherman, these experienced captains are here to tailor the trip to your skill level and help you create lasting memories on the water.

Trips run from 4 to 8 hours and cover everything from inshore and nearshore waters to deep offshore wrecks and reefs, depending on how far you want
to go and what’s biting. You'll use a range of techniques including bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, spinning, drift fishing, and kite fishing, based on your target species and current conditions.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 35’ SeaVee center console, built for speed, comfort, and serious offshore performance. With top-end Garmin electronics, outriggers, a live bait well, and a spacious layout, this vessel is ready for everything from reef-hopping to chasing pelagics far offshore. There’s room for up to 6 anglers, and a skilled first mate is on board to assist, especially helpful for new anglers or larger groups. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

All gear, bait, fishing licenses, and catch cleaning are included, so all you need to bring is your food, any extra drinks, and sun protection. Cold drinks are provided, and beer is welcome aboard.

Half Day (4 Hours): Perfect for a quick morning or afternoon bite, this trip focuses on bottom fishing and trolling closer to shore. Expect to target species like Mahi Mahi, Mangrove Snapper, and Red Grouper, depending on conditions.

3/4 Day (6 Hours): With more time to work with, this trip lets you start on the reef and push further offshore in search of Cobia, Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna, Snowy Grouper, and other hard-fighting fish. A great balance of inshore action and offshore exploration.

Full Day (8 Hours): This extended trip offers the most flexibility, with time to fish wrecks, reefs, and deep water. Whether you’re targeting Amberjack, Snapper, Tuna, or Sailfish, or even trying deep drops for Queen Snapper and Grouper, this is a great option for anglers looking to go all in.

Every trip is run with safety and customer experience in mind. Both captains are fully licensed and Coast Guard certified, and they’re dedicated to making your trip productive, exciting, and beginner-friendly. Families with kids are welcome, and questions or special requests are encouraged—just let the crew know what you're looking for.

If you're ready to fish the deep, vibrant waters off West Palm Beach, book your trip today with Captains Ricky and David—you bring the excitement, and they’ll bring the know-how.
