Byrd Dog Charters
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.

Byrd Doggin Fish!!
We 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!

Love the crew!
You have to be aware that there will be a dog on board and you cannot sit on the interior. There’s actually no air-conditioning and it smells like wet dog, but the crew was so incredible that we didn’t care.
