    Groups over 6

    Call us for for Group Charters

    If you have a group of over six, please call us at (888) 336-1702. We are experts on planning large group and corporate fishing trips for groups of any size. The size of our fleet is unmatched by any other company.

    Due to federal regulations, most charter boats can take a maximum of six passengers. Regulations aside, it is difficult to have more than a few people fishing at a time, so we typically recommend chartering multiple boats. The biggest advantage to fishing from multiple boats is that each person's chances of catching a fish are much higher, not to mention you will be much more comfortable.

    VIP Fishing Tournament
    When we arrange group charters on multiple boats, we often arrange for a custom fishing tournament in which groups on each boat compete with one another for the biggest fish or the most fish. This leads to a fun, competitive atmosphere that unites teams and makes everyone in your group feel like they are part of one activity.

    Light Tackle, Inshore, Tarpon

    Private Inshore and Tarpon Fishing Charter
    From $400
    16' Zebra Skiff with Captain Jason ("JP") Peters

    Florida Flats and Inshore Fishing
    • Trip Lengths: 4, 6, 8 hour trips

    • Included: Boat, guide, licenses, bait, ice
    • Not Included: Gratuity, you may bring your own food and drink
    • Common Fish: Tarpon, Snook, Permit, Jacks and more...
    Expert Opinion:steve-headshot-100x100 "Captain JP describes himself as "obsessed with fishing" and within a few minutes of speaking with him you'll understand exactly what he means. His 16' Zebra skiff is perfect for all types of inshore fishing and can access shallow areas few other boats can go. Every one of JP's trips is customized based on your preferences, which means you can target all different types of fish such as bonefish, tarpon, peacock bass and more. This boat is kept on a trailer and as a result can be launched at different fishing locations both in freshwater, saltwater, and the Florida Everglades. The captain will contact you upon booking to discuss recommended launch locations based on the season and your preferences."

    Why Choose This One:
     "A great option for inshore fishing on flats and bays. Quieter than an airboat on Everglades trips but cannot access some spots."

    Approximate Driving Times: Trip locations vary by season and your preference. The Captain will contact you prior to your trip to arrange a location.

  • Palm Beach is a sixteen mile long barrier island off the eastern coast of Florida - offering all the benefits of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream current for fishing enthusiasts. Our Palm Beach Fishing Charters regularly take anglers offshore to catch some of the most phenomenal sports fish found anywhere in the world, and there is a large variety of the most sought-after of them in these waters. The Gulf Stream current brings migrating fish close to shore, so we do not need to travel far to catch some of the world’s biggest game fish. You are sure to catch many of them onboard our luxury fishing boats in Palm Beach.

    There is a massive diversity of sports fish swimming off the coast of Palm Beach and you have the chance to catch any of them on our Palm Beach Fishing Charters.

The reward of catching these giant fish is pure exhilaration and the experience comes highly recommended. Anglers come to Palm Beach to ensure that they have the highest possible chance of catching these gigantic fish because these waters literally teem with so many types of them.

    Some of these fish require special techniques to catch and our captains and crews are experts at rigging them correctly. Their knowledge is invaluable and their experience highly advantageous. Their expertise is continually shared with everyone onboard and they know exactly how to catch every fish in the Atlantic Ocean, and even where to find them. Our luxury fishing boats in Palm Beach are completely safe, extremely reliable, very clean and supremely comfortable – and they are all outfitted with the highest quality tournament grade equipment that can be used to target any fish swimming off the coast of Palm Beach.
