About Your Trip

The waters off Riviera Beach hold some of the most exciting offshore fishing on the Atlantic coast, and Captain Rick knows how to find it. Running out of Riviera Beach on a rigged-out 33-foot Contender, this trip puts you in the blue water chasing a serious spread of pelagic species: sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo, kingfish, barracuda, shark, and whatever else is running offshore that day.

Captain Rick's crew specializes in live bait and kite fishing,
two of the most effective and visually exciting methods in offshore sport fishing. Kite fishing keeps live bait swimming naturally at the surface, triggering aggressive strikes from billfish and other predators that might otherwise ignore a conventional presentation. Live bait is available on request for an additional cost and is worth considering when conditions favor it.

The 33-foot Contender is built for offshore work, with the range and stability to run to productive water comfortably and an onboard restroom that makes longer trips practical for the whole group. Whether you book a four-hour run or push out for a full eight hours, the crew fishes hard the entire time, putting clients on fish and keeping the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

Captain Rick's background in pro tournaments means he brings a competitive level of preparation and focus to every charter, the kind of effort that translates directly into better results for his clients.

If you're ready to fish serious blue water out of Riviera Beach, book a trip with Captain Rick and get after it.

My teenage daughter and I had a great trip with Captain Phil today. We weren’t out there long before my daughter reeled in a snapper. In total we caught snapper, Bonito, and Blackfin Tuna. After docking Capt Phil filleted, bagged, and iced the tuna for us.

Captain Tommy was a great guide and great company, and knew all the best spots. We caught a mahi, which Tommy filleted for us, and a barracuda! We saw sea turtles and dolphins as well - a really incredible trip overall!
