Ready to hit the deep blue off Jupiter, FL? Our 8-hour charter puts you right in the action where the Gulf Stream's warm waters meet cooler coastal currents. It's a perfect recipe for hooking into some serious offshore action. We're talking about the kind of fishing that gets your heart racing and your arms burning - in the best way possible. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your sea legs, this trip's got something for everyone.
As soon as we clear the inlet, it's game on. We'll be trolling the edge of the Gulf Stream, where the water turns that cobalt blue that screams "fish on!" You'll be using top-notch gear, all provided by us, so you can focus on the important stuff - like watching those lines for the telltale dip of a strike. We've got room for up to 6 anglers, so bring your crew or make some new fishing buddies. And don't worry about licenses or cleaning your catch - we've got all that covered. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat.
Out here, trolling is the name of the game. We'll be pulling a spread of lines behind the boat, using a mix of lures and live bait to entice the big ones. Keep an eye out for color changes in the water or birds working the surface - that's where the action is. We might switch it up and do some kite fishing if the conditions are right, especially if we're after sailfish. It's all about reading the water and adjusting our tactics to what's biting. And don't be surprised if we stop to jig over a wreck or two - that's where the cobia and kingfish like to hang out.
Our regulars can't stop talking about the fights they've had this season. Here's what they're saying: "Hooked into a wahoo that nearly spooled me - what a rush!" - Mike T. "The captain put us on a school of blackfin tuna. Non-stop action for hours!" - Sarah L. "Sailfish on a kite bait - crossed that off my bucket list!" - Tom R.
Wahoo: These speedsters are the drag-screamers of the deep. Known for their incredible bursts of speed, wahoo can make a reel sing like nothing else. They're most common in the warmer months, but we see them year-round here. When you hook one, hold on tight - they're known for long, blistering runs that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.
Cobia: These curious fish are often called "brown bombers" for their color and fighting ability. They love structure, so we often find them near wrecks or even following large rays or sharks. Cobia put up a stubborn fight, often making several strong runs before you can get them to the boat. They're great eating, too, which makes them a favorite target for many of our anglers.
Northern Kingfish: Don't let their smaller size fool you - these guys punch above their weight class. We often catch them while trolling for bigger game, but they're a blast on lighter tackle. They make scorching runs and love to dive deep, giving you a real workout on the rod. Kings are around most of the year, but fall is prime time for the big smokers.
Blackfin Tuna: These compact powerhouses are like the CrossFit athletes of the sea. Pound for pound, they're some of the strongest fish out there. We usually find them in schools, which means when you hook one, you might have a chance at several. They're most abundant in the cooler months, but we see them year-round. Get ready for a fight that'll test your stamina!
Atlantic Sailfish: The crown jewel of many anglers' bucket lists, sailfish are known for their acrobatic leaps and stunning colors. We target them mostly in the winter months when they're most abundant off Jupiter. Watching a sail light up with electric blue stripes as it dances across the water is something you'll never forget. They're strictly catch-and-release, but the photos and memories last a lifetime.
Look, I could go on all day about the fishing out here, but nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler with some tasty fillets or just want the thrill of battling big game fish, this 8-hour trip has got you covered. We provide everything you need - from rods and reels to drinks and fish cleaning. All you need to bring is your sense of adventure (and maybe some sunscreen). Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your date. Get ready to make some serious fishing memories off the coast of Jupiter!
Atlantic sailfish are the showstoppers of offshore fishing. These acrobatic fighters grow up to 7 feet long but average around 50 pounds. You'll find them in blue water from 100-300 feet deep, often following bait schools. Winter is peak season here, but we catch them year-round. Sailfish are prized for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked - they'll leap and tail-walk across the water. It's pure adrenaline! To target them, we slow-troll live baits like goggle-eyes or ballyhoo. When a sail shows up in the spread, be ready for action. Let it eat, then hang on tight - the first run is usually their strongest.
Blackfin tuna are speed demons that'll make your reel sing. These compact powerhouses usually run 15-30 pounds. You'll find them in blue water, often around temperature breaks or floating debris. They hunt in schools, so when you find one, there's usually more nearby. Fall through spring is prime time in Jupiter. Anglers love blackfin for their lightning-fast runs and delicious sushi-grade meat. To hook up, try trolling small lures or live baiting around dawn and dusk. Here's a pro tip: when you see them busting bait on the surface, throw a popper lure into the fray - the strikes are explosive!
Cobia are odd-looking but fun to catch. They grow up to 6 feet and 100 pounds, with a shark-like profile. Look for them around buoys, wrecks, and other structures in 30-70 feet of water. They're most active here from spring through fall. Cobia are curious fish - they'll often follow boats or even swim right up to investigate. That makes sight-fishing for them a blast. They put up a great fight, with strong runs and stubborn tactics near the boat. The meat is delicious too, with a buttery flavor. To land one, try slow-trolling live eels or pitching bucktail jigs when you spot them. Just be ready for anything - these fish can be unpredictable!
Northern kingfish are scrappy little battlers that punch above their weight. Most run 10-14 inches, maxing out around 3 pounds. You'll find them in the surf zone and just beyond, often over sandy or muddy bottom. Late summer is the best time to target them near shore. Kingfish aren't the biggest, but they're feisty fighters on light tackle. Anglers love their mild, sweet meat too. To catch 'em, fish the surf with small hooks and bits of clam, squid, or bloodworms. Here's a local tip: look for depressions or cuts in the sand bars - kingfish love to hang out in these spots waiting to ambush prey.
Wahoo are lightning-fast predators that'll test your skills. These sleek fish average 4-5 feet long but can top 100 pounds. You'll find them in deep blue water, often near drop-offs or floating debris. Wahoo are loners, so we target them by trolling at high speeds - 12-15 knots is the sweet spot. Late summer through fall is prime time in Jupiter. Anglers love wahoo for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps when hooked. The meat is excellent too - firm, white, and perfect for fish tacos. My go-to setup is a wire leader with a dark-colored lure. These fish have razor-sharp teeth, so check your line often. When you feel that telltale strike, hang on tight - it's gonna be a wild ride!
