Everything to Know About Booking a Fishing Charter in West Palm Beach

What are the best fishing charters in West Palm Beach?

Fishing in West Palm Beach Overview

West Palm Beach offers a diverse range of fishing charters, catering to both shallow and deep water enthusiasts. The area is home to a variety of fish species, including Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Grouper, Snapper, Hogfish, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass, and Clown Knife Fish.

Half-day trips provide ample opportunities for fishing, while full-day trips offer access to deeper waters and more exotic species. Popular spots include the Bridge Reef, the Playground, and Sailfish Alley.

All registered fishing charters in West Palm Beach provide fishing licenses for passengers, while those fishing in freshwater or kayaking will need to purchase their own licenses online or at a local tackle shop.

Freshwater Fishing in West Palm Beach

For freshwater action, any nearby canal or lake will do for the opportunity to catch an incredible number of species. These waters are known for largemouth bass, peacock bass, and exotic clown knife fish. Other species you can catch here are bluegill, redear sunfish, sunshine bass, catfish, and more exotic species including spotted tilapia, Oscars, and Mayan cichlids.

With plenty of lakes to the north and Lake Okeechobee to the west, there is no shortage of freshwater fishing opportunities in West Palm Beach.

Bass Fishing Near West Palm Beach

Head to Lake Okeechobee inland for some of the best largemouth bass fishing that Florida (and some might argue the country) has to offer. This lake is a frequent stop on the Bassmaster Elite Series and double-digit bass routinely show up at weigh-ins. The seemingly endless supply of big-bellied females makes this a prime spot for someone looking to catch their new personal record.

Inshore Fishing in West Palm Beach

The Palm Beaches area has a variety of spots for you to explore and catch popular saltwater species. Inshore trips usually take place near inlets, piers, shorelines, or flats, and provide ample fishing opportunities throughout the year.

Powerful fish like snook, tarpon, and barracudas patrol these waters, waiting to ambush prey or your bait. Other popular fish anglers commonly catch here are redfish, trout, jacks, pompano, and sharks. With so much to offer, it’s no surprise that West Palm Beach has become a highly sought-after fishing destination.

Offshore fishing in West Palm Beach

If you want to chase trophy sailfish, head out into the Gulf Stream to the legendary Sailfish Alley, which is known for being packed with fish.

The Palm Beach area is also known as a hotbed for mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, and kingfish. If you would rather deep drop bait, head out the reefs for snappers, groupers, and hogfish. There are endless options for a quality offshore fishing trip out of West Palm Beach.

Popular Types of Fishing In West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach fishing charters offer a variety of options for anglers of all levels. The most common types of fishing charters in West Palm Beach include deep-sea fishing, inshore fishing, and drift fishing.

Deep-sea fishing charters take you out to the Gulf Stream, where you can catch big game fish like sailfish, marlin, and tuna. Inshore fishing charters stay closer to shore and target species like snook, redfish, and tarpon. Drift fishing charters are perfect for beginners and families, as they provide a more relaxed fishing experience and target species like snapper, grouper, and triggerfish.

Some of the most common fish to catch in West Palm Beach include sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, kingfish, snook, redfish, tarpon, snapper, grouper, and triggerfish.

West Palm Beach fishing charters often depart from landmarks like the Sailfish Marina Resort and the Riviera Beach Marina. No matter which type of fishing charter you choose, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience on the beautiful waters of West Palm Beach.

Other Things To Do In West Palm Beach

While West Palm Beach fishing charters are a popular attraction, there are plenty of other things to do in this vibrant city. Take a stroll through the Norton Museum of Art, or explore the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium. For a taste of the local culture, visit the historic Clematis Street or catch a show at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. If you're looking for outdoor activities, head to Peanut Island Park for snorkeling and kayaking, or take a hike through the Grassy Waters Preserve. And don't forget to hit the beach - West Palm Beach has some of the most beautiful stretches of sand in Florida, including Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach.

    Trip: Offshore Hookfest

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Bill and Chris were great on the water. Tough wind, tough current, storm front moving in and wave conditions made fishing tough. Captain worked incredibly hard to get us on fish and we did get on them. Great attitudes and determination to find fish are the best way to describe Captain Bill and Chris.
