Papa Bear's Fishing Charters LLC
Operating out of Riviera Beach, Florida, Papa Bear's Fishing Charters is in prime position to take you on a deep sea adventure. Captain Rudy Neumann has been fishing these waters for over 3 decades and knows what it takes to provide a reel-screaming fishing experience!
Capt. Rudy fishes with his son Michael, the first mate. This dynamic duo caters to their customers' requests while staying in tune with the fishing conditions on the day. Rudy began this charter company in memory of his dad – he hopes to pass the love of fishing his father instilled into him onto his customers.
They will guide you through the full range of sportfishing techniques available on Florida's famous east coast. Whether you want to kite fish for Sailfish, bottom fish or drift over the reefs and wrecks, they'll walk you through the experience.
Your trip will take place aboard a 30 " Pursuit Offshore boat. This classic vessel has ample space for up to 4 anglers fishing at once. Fitted with serious fishing amenities, a hard top, and seating, this boat will let you get the best of offshore and nearshore fishing. The enclosed restroom and kitchen mean even longer trips will be comfortable.
You'll be provided with quality rods and reels by Penn and Shimano. Lures are also included in the price, and quality live bait is available for an extra fee. You'll also find light snacks and drinks waiting for you, so all you need bring is any additional food and drinks.
You can also have your catch mounted, for an additional cost. Capt. Rudy can make a small replica of your catch, or make a life-size mount based on measurements of the fish. To view replicas and fish mounts go to photos and videos! Each angler will also receive a small gift and you'll also have an opportunity to purchase a T-shirt if you wish.
If you're looking for a tailor-made experience with a friendly, family company, look no further. Papa Be

Patricia BollingerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedPAPA BEAR FISHING TRIP ARE THE BEST ONES!!!
4 Hour Trip – Morning on May 12, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had such a great time on our fishing trip with Papa Bear Charters!!! Michael & Neil are so friendly and they helped my husband & I and our son with fishing! These guys are the best of any fishing charter in the area! It was like spending the day with family! Our son caught a 40” King Fish in the first few minutes and I caught a large Barracuda; we caught many other fish, including a grouper! Papa Bear Fishing are the best!!!
Bob Olshan5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water
6 Hour Trip on May 23, 2026 • 2 adultsMike was a great captain and guide. Took my son out, who had his mind set on Mahi. We caught some mid size tuna and amberjack and looked like we might run out of time to land a Mahi, but Mike took us to one more spot and my son hooked a 20 pounder. Mike talked him through the fight and now we’re having Mahi for dinner. Awesome trip!!

Bucket List Trip
4 Hour Trip – Morning on July 26, 2026 • 3 adultsFirstly Captain Mike is a standup guy, but he is quite the fishing legend. He put us on multiple beautiful sailfish and taught us some very good skills to use when fishing on our own.

Stop Scrolling - you’ve found the one!
6 Hour Trip on January 9, 2026 • 1 adultConsider yourself lucky in life if you’re reading this. Not only are you about to hit some of the best nicest looking fishing grounds on the east cost, you’re going to hit them with a couple great local experts. Been fishing off Singer Island many times and this was one of the best!

Anthony Duran5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the Water with Captain Rudy and First Mate Mike!
6 Hour Trip on May 24, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had a great fishing trip with Captain Rudy and First Mate Mike. From the moment we stepped aboard, they made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the day ahead. Captain Rudy is clearly a seasoned pro—his knowledge of the waters and ability to find the best fishing spots was unmatched. We were pulling in fish in no time! Mike, the first mate, was equally amazing. He worked nonstop to keep our lines ready, baited, and untangled. He was super friendly, patient with beginners, and had a great sense of humor that kept everyone in high spirits. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. Whether you’re an experienced angler or brand new to fishing, this team makes it easy to have a fun and successful day. I can’t recommend this charter enough—Captain Rudy and Mike are a top-notch crew. We’ll definitely be booking again!
