About Your Trip

Get ready for a full day of fun on the water with Captain Neil aboard a 24-foot C Pro departing from Riviera, Florida. This fishing, snorkeling, and swimming adventure is the perfect way to experience the outdoors and make the most of South Florida’s incredible coastal waters.

Start the day casting a line and enjoying the thrill of fishing in the waters around Riviera. Then, when it’s time to cool off, jump in and explore beneath the surface with a snorkeling stop where you can discover the colorful marine life and underwater scenery. Of course, there’s always time to simply swim, splash around, and soak up the Florida sunshine.

Whether you’re an avid angler, an underwater explorer, or just ready for a day of fun on the water, Captain Neil will make it an exciting and memorable adventure for the whole group. Bring your swimsuit, sunscreen, adventurous spirit, and get ready to fish, snorkel, swim, and enjoy Riviera from the water!

About Your Guide

Neil L.

Independent Guide

Captain Neil has spent a lifetime around the water, beginning on the rivers, streams, and lakes of his native Pennsylvania before expanding his fishing to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.

After first visiting Florida in 1999, Neil developed a passion for the state's nearshore and offshore fisheries and eventually made Palm Beach his home waters. Today, he uses that experience to target everything from Snapper and Grouper around local reefs to Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Kingfish, and Sailfish offshore.

Neil is also a certified scuba diver and became a divemaster in 2018, with experience leading dive charters out of Islamorada and Stuart.

Whether you're an experienced angler or bringing the family out for the first time, Neil enjoys sharing the waters around Palm Beach and building the day around what your group wants to experience.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code 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 event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
