Reel in Big Game on Boca's Offshore Waters

Ready to test your skills against some of South Florida's hardest-fighting fish? Hop aboard our afternoon offshore charter and let's hit the deep blue! We'll cruise out of Boca Raton Inlet and into prime fishing grounds where the big boys play. With 4 hours on the water, you'll have plenty of time to hook into some bruisers and maybe even land that fish of a lifetime. Our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so get ready for some serious rod-bending action.

What's Biting Offshore

Once we clear the inlet, it's game on. We'll be targeting the heavy hitters that make Boca Raton fishing charters so popular - we're talking sailfish, yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, kingfish, wahoo, and grouper. The afternoon bite can be red hot this time of year, especially for pelagics cruising the current edges. We'll set up a spread of live baits, maybe toss out a kite or two, and wait for those reels to start screaming. When a big boy hits, hold on tight - these fish don't go down without a fight!

Tactics for Taming the Big Ones

Offshore fishing is all about reading the water and adjusting your tactics. We might start by slow-trolling live goggle-eyes along a color change, then switch it up to high-speed wahoo lures if we mark some fish on the depth finder. Kite fishing is a local favorite - nothing beats watching a sailfish come up and crash a bait on the surface. For the bottom dwellers like grouper, we'll drop some hefty live baits or jigs. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques, our crew will walk you through every step. Before you know it, you'll be working those rods like a pro.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something addictive about battling big fish in the open ocean. Maybe it's the rush when a 50-pound mahi lights up the water with its electric blue sides. Or the heart-pounding moment when a sailfish goes airborne, tail-walking across the waves. Our repeat customers tell us it's the thrill of never knowing what might hit the line next. Plus, with our top-notch gear and local know-how, you've got the best shot at landing that monster fish you've always dreamed about.

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are the drag-screaming champions of nearshore waters. "Smoker" kings can top 50 pounds and make blistering runs that'll have you hanging on for dear life. They're most active in cooler months but can be caught year-round. Anglers love kings for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps - not to mention they make for some tasty fish dip!

Mahi Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish, these neon-colored beauties are the prize of many offshore trips. They travel in schools, so when you find one, be ready for multiple hookups. Mahi are famous for their acrobatics - they'll leap and tail-walk across the surface, putting on a show that's as fun to watch as it is to fight. Spring through fall is prime time for mahi, with fish ranging from 5 to 30+ pounds.

Little Tunny: Don't let the name fool you - these "football with fins" pack a serious punch. Also called false albacore or bonito, they're known for their blistering speed and stamina. Pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. We catch them year-round, but they really show up in numbers during their fall and spring migrations. They average 5-15 pounds but can get much bigger. Watching a school of little tunny bust bait on the surface is a sight you won't forget!

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the fish you might catch, but nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. Our afternoon charters are perfect for both seasoned anglers and first-timers looking to test the waters. We provide all the top-quality gear, so all you need to bring is some sun protection, snacks, and a cooler for your catch.

Book your Boca Raton fishing charter today and let's make some memories on the high seas!

Learn more about the species

King Mackerel

King Mackerel, or Kingfish, are sleek, powerful predators that'll test your skills. These guys typically weigh 15-30 pounds, but 50-pounders aren't unheard of. Look for them in depths from 40 to 150 feet, often near reefs or wrecks. They prefer water temps between 68-84°F, so spring and fall are prime seasons here in Boca. Kings are known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics. They're voracious feeders, chasing after smaller fish like blue runners and menhaden. We usually troll for them using large planers and heavy tackle. Live bait like blue runners or goggle-eyes works great too. When rigging live bait, here's a pro tip: use a stinger rig. Kings often strike at the tail of the bait, so a second hook increases your hookup ratio. Keep your drag set light initially – these fish can easily snap your line on their first run. Anglers love Kingfish for their hard fights and good eating. The meat's a bit oily but great for smoking or grilling. Just be aware they can have high mercury levels, so moderation's key.

Little Tunny

Little Tunny, also called Bonita or False Albacore, are small but mighty fighters that'll give you a run for your money. These torpedo-shaped tuna typically weigh 10-12 pounds, but can hit 20 or more. You'll find them near the surface in warm, nearshore waters, often hanging around jetties, sandbars, and inlets. They travel in schools, so where there's one, there's usually more. These guys are a blast to catch – they're fast, strong swimmers that'll test your skills. We usually troll for them with multiple lines, using ballyhoo or mullet dressed up with bright feathers. Live bait like bluefish or pinfish works great too. Fly fishing's another option if you're up for a challenge. Spring and fall are prime Little Tunny seasons here. Listen for splashing – they're noisy eaters. One tip: if you hook one, be ready for a fight. Their initial run can be brutal, so make sure your drag's set right or you might lose your line. While not the most popular eating fish, Little Tunny can be tasty if prepared right. Just be sure to clean them well – they're known for parasites.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi, also called dorado or dolphinfish, are some of the most exciting fish to catch off Boca. They're known for their stunning colors – golden sides with blue and green splotches that change like a light show when they're hooked. Typically, they run 15-30 pounds, but bigger ones aren't uncommon. You'll find Mahi in warmer offshore waters, often near floating debris or weedlines. They're fast growers and spawn year-round, so there's usually plenty around. Spring through fall is prime Mahi season here, with summer being the peak. Trolling is the go-to method, using ballyhoo, squid, or artificial lures. Make your bait skip on the surface – Mahi love to chase flying fish. Keep an eye out for frigate birds; they'll often lead you to schools of Mahi. Anglers love Mahi for their acrobatic fights and excellent table fare. The meat is mild and versatile – great for grilling or frying. Here's a local trick: if you spot a school, keep one hooked fish in the water. Often, the whole school will stick around, giving you a shot at multiple hookups.
