If you're ready to start fishing in West Palm Beach, book a trip with Byrd Dog Charters.
These waters are known for King Mackerel (Kingfish), Cobia, Great Barracuda, Blue Marlin, Rainbow Runner, Sailfish, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Mahi Mahi, Cero Mackerel, Gag Grouper, Black Grouper, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll using light tackle. Capt. Richard can also show you kite fishing.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You'll be fishing aboard a 48' Viking sportfishing vessel with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. Don't leave home without bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Newton CokerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewTacos for Everyone!
3/4 Day Trip on October 21, 2026 • 3 adultsBooked the charter weeks in advance, but ran into rough weather our week on Singer Island. Captain recommended a change of days and what a call. Caught all the fish we wanted and had a lot of fun, particularly, with Ellie Mae, the Lab, watching the poles for a strike - and chasing any bonita brought onto the deck! Captain and crew(two mates) professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this charter. Oh, and we caught 7 Mahi fot the tacos!
Michael SommersRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHuge Goliath Grouper!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 17, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenWent offshore with my wife, our kids (8 and 9 years old), and my 74-year-old mother — and every one of us caught fish! We landed 5 Bonita, 2 Blackfin Tuna, and after an unforgettable 40-minute battle, brought a 400+ lb Goliath Grouper to the boat. Absolute catch of a lifetime. The crew made the day fun, safe, and memorable for all ages and helped create an experience our family will never forget. Sharing that moment together across three generations made it even more special. Thank you for an incredible day — highly recommend!
William WhiteRepeat angler4.3VerifiedNice boat
Full Day Trip on September 11, 2026 • 6 adultsBoat is old but in good condition and ran well. Mate was a little curt when fishermen were in his way, but I understand. Captain did a great job of keeping us out of the squalls that were with us all day and had a great Playlist. Fish could have been better, but it was literally the worst day ever to be out with rough seas and storms. The boat dog was adorable, but did get in the way sometimes. Overall pretty good trip with a couple nice fish!

3/4 Day Trip on March 27, 2026 • 2 adultsHad a really great day on the water with Byrd Dog charters. Caught some barracuda and tuna in the morning and capped the day off with my first goliath grouper, which we safely released. It was a great time and highly recommend anyone to fish with Capt Rich and Jeff.

Half Day Trip (AM) on December 31, 2025 • 6 adultsChilly morning but the bite was hot thanks to Byrd Dog Charters. Captain Richard and first mate Maddie were fantastic—they kept us on the fish all morning. We caught more than we could take home, thanks again, we had a blast!
Andrew Titterington5.0VerifiedByrd Doggin Fish!!
3/4 Day Trip on July 12, 2025 • 2 adultsWe had an incredible day on the water with Richard and his crew! We caught almost a dozen fish and the crew did so much work to keep the lines in the water. Adam and Grace and Josiah were so much fun! And I can’t forget to thank Miss Ellie Mae, the mascot and loyal dog on the boat! We can’t wait to come back and do it again. And we will DEFINITELY be booking Richard and his crew!
Jon HarrisRepeat angler4.7VerifiedAwesome day
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 22, 2025 • 6 adultsStarted trolling right out of the inlet. Maximum time with lines in the water. Caught an awesome variety of fish including a trophy Goliath Grouper. Got to tag, register and release. Crew worked hard and all in our group got plenty of reel time. Hope to go again when we are in town.
