Take It Slow Sportfishing is here to show you what all the inshore and offshore waters of the Jupiter and Stuart area have to offer. Captain Jimbo Brogan is a 3rd generation charter fisherman from Stuart, Florida.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Tarpon, Snook, Pompano, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, Wahoo, Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Black Grouper, Bonefish, and who knows what else! For these species, you’re likely to live bait/kite fish and bottom fish using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep and cleaned/bagged at the end of you trip.

The Take It Slow is a 25’ Contender recently refit for charter comfort and safety. Perfect for up to 4 guests to join Capt Jimbo for a fun day of fishing! The large bow and roomy cockpit area make it easy to fight fish. Whether you’re inshore or offshore, the wide range of Shimano tackle provided is ready to get you hooked up.

Captain Jimbo Brogan, a true Martin County native, has been fishing locally since he could turn the handle on a rod. Throughout his childhood, he spent his spare time on the water fishing or free diving with family and friends. Upon graduating high school, he also received his USCG Captain's license and has been professionally sport fishing ever since. Travels include Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Pacific Mexico, Florida Keys all the way to Ocean City, Maryland, and everywhere in between! Jimbo has learned from some of the best captains and mates in the game and has been a part of many tournament-winning teams. Born into his grandfather's charter fishing business, his passion is to fish hard and show you the great time our local fishing has to offer!
