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 28’ Grady White 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

6 Hour Trip

Great Day on the Water with Captain Rudy and First Mate Mike!

VERIFIED

We 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!

6 Hour Trip

Fantastic time!

We went on a six hour fishing trip with Papa Bears Charters. When we got there, they were ready to go. We went a couple of miles out and caught tuna and mahi. We then came closer to shore and we caught snapper and king fish. They were knowledgeable and patient. I appreciated they had put bait the hooks and cast them for us. At one point, we were reeling in three fish at once! My family and I had a great experience and made wonderful memories. Thank you so much!

Half day with Captain Rudy and Mike

Had a wonderful trip today with Captain Rudy and Mike. I am not someone to usually write reviews, but after today’s trip high praise was well deserved. Whether you’re with your family or friends this is the kind of charter company should be looking for. Today we caught two kingfish, a black fan tuna two mahi-mahi and a barracuda. Today’s trip created unforgettable memories with my five-year-old son. Thank you very much guys.
