There's no need to buy a fishing license. Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Trips with Palm Beach Charters are child-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. A few items to bring include snacks and drinks for the journey, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). No glass bottles, please.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Palm Beach Charters is just a click away.

5-star experience with Captain Neil & Tara
4 Hour Trip (PM) on September 17, 20252 adults

Captain Neil and Tara made our fishing trip unforgettable! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The boat was comfortable, the gear was ready to go, and they knew all the best spots. We caught fish, laughed a lot, and learned along the way. Highly recommend booking with them—you won’t be disappointed! Go Birds!!
