Local Fishing Charters is run by Capt. Thomas Jr. He is a 4th-generation local fisherman who grew up in South Florida working on commercial fishing and charter fishing boats. His charter is a great hands-on learning experience, a tour where you get to actively participate in the action. You get a real fishing experience like learning how to properly use gear, and special tactics to get an edge on the fish!
You'll be fishing on a 26' Mako boat that accommodates up to 6 anglers. The boat is fully restored in 2021 and decked out, powered by a brand new 300 HP Mercury engine, and is equipped with the latest electronic technology to help find and target fish. There's also a multimedia system, so you can enjoy your favorite playlist on the boat.
You might be trolling, kite fishing, live baiting, bottom fishing, or drift fishing depending on the time of year and what is most likely biting. The list of possible catches goes on and on, but some of the most common ones are Mahi Mahi, Snapper, Wahoo, Sailfish, Kingfish, Barracuda, Tuna, and Mackerel.
The trip is all-inclusive, all you need to bring is food and drinks for yourselves. The captain covers your fishing equipment and licenses. If you want to keep the catch, he'll also clean it for you free of charge. Don't forget to bring hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Stuart / Jupiter is the best place in Florida to go fishing so make sure you wet a line while you're in town. Join Local Fishing Charters for a day on the water!

Booked a four hour trip for my brother, son, and myself. The Captain was 100 percent professional and the knowledge was shown througout the trip. My 11 yo hasn't stop talking about how the Captain treated him, even I was impressed. I'm a retired military vet and It was well worth every cent. Thanks Captain Thomas! My son and I plan on see you annually.
Had an Awesome time with you guys, thanks again!
we caught King fish, a maji, Blackfin Tuna, Some Big!!! Bonito, snapper. next time aiming for a wahoo, more majis and snappers! the captain definitely knows what he’s doing, and jnow all the fish spots! this trip it’s really good for friends and family. you should bring a lot water and snacks! nenver its too much.
Being an experienced fisherman, i know full well how hard hard days are. Our start, after catching our bait (fun by itself), started a bit slow. However, once we started catching fish, we caught everything from barracuda to bonita, to amberjack, to king, to trigger fish AND….finished the day catching Mahi Mahi on the way in! GREAT CAPTAIN! GREAT DAY!! We are preparing the Mahi and the Trigger tonight! ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT MEAL!!! 💥💥💥 Thanks Thomas! We’ll be back!! on
Had a blast with you guys, Enjoy the fresh Fish !!!
My best friend had deep sea fishing up on her bucket list. We caught Bonita, which isn’t edible but boy do they put up a fight. We saw a few dolphins. The sea was calm and the weather was beautiful. The captain was very friendly and knowledgable. Plenty of room to take a small cooler with drinks and snacks. A good time was had by all! Thank you Captain Thomas!
