The Geno 5 is a beautiful, SUPER CLEAN Custom 57’ Sport fishing yacht designed by Rigsby Yachts, that is sure to please our guests in comfort and luxury while experiencing World class Sport fishing off Palm Beach. The Pratt family owned business is now in our 3rd generation of our 63 years of Charter fishing South Florida and the Bahamas, ensuring our guests the unsurpassed local knowledge and expertise our clients demand of a 1st class family operation.
86% of our annual charters are “repeat” clients…but there’s always room for more! You know you’re doing something right when you’re fishing the grandchildren of our parents’ charters! The Geno 5 offers Fall, Winter & Spring Charters out of Palm Beach and specializes in summertime Charters in Hopetown, Abaco, Bahamas for BLUE MARLIN. Our other favorite species to target locally, are Wahoo, Mahi Mahi (great eating) and Sailfish (always release) & when in the Bahamas, we also do deep dropping, as the bottom fishing is still outstanding. There is a lot of inquiry for shark fishing these days…(no shortage there) Bull sharks (now overpopulated in our area) average 300 lbs…we’ll get you hooked up, but you better be in shape!!!
So….Come aboard and get to know our family, Captain Geno, Capt. Zane & Captain Karen…we all eat, breathe & sleep “family fishing” & have, our entire lives, here in S. Florida & Bahamas… Fishing has been the ONLY CAREER in our lives & ONLY WAY OF LIFE& making a living…so, whether it’s you & your family or a bachelor/bachelorette party Charter, Its our hope YOU have fun and we look forward to give it ALL OUR BEST for you to have the ULTIMATE fishing experience ever!
Remember, with the Geno 5…you know exactly who you’re going to get.
Not some newly hired Captain or some newly hired mate. Your getting US!
❤️ & Regards, Karen, Geno & Zane

Geno 5 Sport Fishing Charters is a MOM and POP and SON family fishing charter operated by Captains Geno, Karen, and Zane. The company was established in 1961 by a husband & wife fishing team, (Grandparents) Fred and Mae Pratt. They moved to Boynton Beach, Florida in 1960 from Mishawaka, Indiana ito "live the dream of fishing for a living". Their 1st boat "Little Geno" was a 28 ft Christ Craft, named after there, then 3-year-old son, “Little Geno”. Years later, there was the Geno II, a 40' Chisovitch, The Geno III, a 44' Trojan, then, the luxury 48' Tom Fexas yacht. NOW, the beautiful 57' Geno 5, a Custom Carolina, Rigsby, affectionately known as the "Cap-n-Squid" by all proud Carolinians. The family fishing tradition continues with Capt Zane, now in his late 20’s taking over the 63 year old business rein. The Geno 5 is one of the longest running Charter boats in all of South Florida...IF NOT THE EASTERN SEABOARD (?) Who knows. A 63 year old family business is a long time to be in business. You will be fishing with certainly the most experienced AND ON THE CLEANEST, most comfortable, AIR CONDITIONED, Charter ANY WHERE! What OTHER Charter would gladly show off their ENGINE ROOM! We do! Besides fishing off S. Florida’s beautiful Gold Coast, we offer our services in the summer months in the BAHAMAS. Come fish with us 1st class in the lap of luxury with the Pratt family!
