Father And Son Sportfishing runs luxury angling trips out of West Palm Beach and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Mark will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bill fishing, but will get you on the fish while trolling or Deep Dropping. This involves 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin, King Mackerel, Sailfish, Wahoo, Cobia, and Bonito, depending on the season and conditions of the day.

You’ll be fishing from a Custom 61’ Buddy Davis with enough room for up to 6 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet, AC, ice-box, and fighting chair. The most luxurious Sportfishing Charter in the area!

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything top-of-the-line you will need is included in the price.

Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day both local and federal. The price of a given trip doesn’t include bait, so be sure to get in touch with the captain about what your options are prior to the trip. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need as well as ask about having a stewardess aboard as well.  Tips for good service are always appreciated.

There will be complimentary snacks, and drinks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer.

Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Father And Son Sportfishing.

The crew of Father and Sons was great. They worked hard to make sure we had the best chances of catching fish. Allowed us to be hands and work the polls as much or as little as we wanted. Will be going out with these guys again!

I have been fishing since I was very young and it's a passion I'm truly dedicated to. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and love of fishing with other anglers, which is one of the main reasons why I started running my own charter. I've had the fortune to fish the waters from Florida to the Bahamas, and today I work hard to put you on the fish and give back to the community through my work.
