Fishing since I was old enough to know how to hold a rod. Offshore fishing out of Palm Beach has been my passion for the last 30+ years. Having worked on charter boats for 20 of those years; trolling, kite fishing, drifting live baits, I’ve experienced it all but constantly learning new techniques and patterns. I look forward to meeting new people and creating new memories! We will work hard to ensure you have the best experience out on the water whether the fish are biting or not. We have a clear understanding that we are in the entertainment business just as much as the fishing business and want to make your trip a success!

What a fantastic day! I’d absolutely book with and through Captain Experience again. My original charter fell through. But, Scott stayed on my itinerary. He communicated well and helped find another captain and fishing experience. 5 Stars and RJ and Mike were fantastic captains!

A terrible experience. The captain drove the boat without telling us anything about the trip. The deckhand was in charge of setting the lines. We asked him questions, but he didn't answer us. We paid an extra $100 for live fish to increase our chances of catching anything. These were used 10 minutes before the end of the trip, and we caught nothing. During the day, some lines got bites but weren't replaced, further reducing...

In short, the worst fishing experience of my life.

We had an excellent 6-hour fishing trip with Captain RJ and Nick. Nick was hands-on with everything, from setting the rods and trolling to helping us reel in fish and expertly managing the kite fishing, which is far more complex than it looks. They work seamlessly as a team. We caught a wahoo right out of the gate, and they filleted it for us and gave great advice on how best to prepare and eat...

Both were courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. A fantastic experience from start to finish; highly recommend.

Captain RJ and his first mate Nick were really incredible to work with! We all caught at least one fish and went home with two wahoo and a Mahi Mahi. Great taste in music and we all had a great time!

R.J. And Nick was fantastic. Their boat was very nice and spacious. We caught a huge 42”/15lb dolphin within an hour after leaving the dock. Nick cleaned and filleted the fish and pointed us in the direction of a local restaurant that would cook it up for us.
