It's time to head to Jupiter, Florida, for an awesome day of fishing with Lucky Chip Charters. Owned and operated by Captain Chip himself, he has over 4 decades of fishing experience in the area. He knows the best places to take you for the most productive day out. He enjoys helping his customers have a top day, especially if this is your first time fishing.

Step on board his 19' flats boat, perfect for groups of 2 anglers to fish from. This boat will get you into those hard to reach areas so you can fish right on top of the fish.

Some of the species you'll be able to target include Snook, Pompano, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, Bull Shark, and plenty more. Whatever your skill level, there is a fish out here with your name on it.

Children of all ages are welcome on board. They'll love reeling in their first fish and will have a great story to tell their friends back at school. There are life vests on board for them.

The captain will provide top quality rods and reels from Shimano, Penn, and Star. There's also a fly fishing rod that he can bring along, but you'll need to give him prior notice.

Depending on the season, you'll either catch live bait at the beginning of the trip or need to buy it at the marina before you begin. After the trip, the captain can clean your catch for you – remember to have a cooler with ice in the car ready to take your catch home in.

You'll need to bring food and drinks along with you on the trip. There's a cooler on board that you can put them in. The captain also offers flexible departure times on his 4-hour trips.

Amazing Time!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 8, 20262 adults

I can't say enough about Cpt. Chip and our time on the water. I've chartered a few captains but never met such a passionate, patient, knowledgeable captain and fisherman. My son (13 years -old) and I had an incredible day! When you look for a guide, I strongly recommend that you find someone who really cares about the region, environment, the fisheries. Chip took the time to instruct and really tailored a perfect experience to enrich and deepen mine and my son's love for fishing. We caught snook, tarpon, jack, snapper and a few kitty cats, of course. Thank you, Cpt. Chip, for a perfect day!

Great Sunday Morning Fishing Trip
3/4 Day Trip on July 5, 20262 adults

Chip is an excellent and professional guide. He is freindly, knowledgeable, experienced, and cares about the service he delivers. My target was Snook. I also like catching new species. He keyed in on that and put me on some various ones including Blue Runners. I had a blast catching many of each along with Jack Crevalle and Mangrove Snappers. Easy going and hard working is a great combination to have in a guide. I recommend him and will add that the Burt Reynolds Park Marina is among the cleanest and best maintained I have seen around the nation-nice, secure and functional. If you are in Florida on the east coast, book with Chip.

Half Day Trip (PM) on November 4, 20252 adults

Chip was a good communicator from booking to the meet up. We did a half-day afternoon trip with him. He went out in the morning to catch our bait, more bait than we could use! He was a fantastic teacher and knew where the fish would be. My husband and I caught so many jacks, several snooks and snappers. I lost track of how many fish i caught. Chip was extremely knowledgeable and so easy to chat with while we were out on the water. We would HIGHLY recommend his services for your fishing trip.
