  Amazing Pelagic Bite

  3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on August 8, 2026 • 2 adults

  After multiple delays due to weather, getting out on the water was a great experience. Captain Barry obviously cares about getting you the most bang for your buck - he calls ahead to confirm what you’re targeting, and lets you know if there’s weather or wave complications beforehand, instead of trying to force a trip that won’t be productive or enjoyable. The trip itself was highly successful, with 2 sailfish landed - plus 4 bonito, a large ‘cuda, and a solid wahoo to cap things off. Overall an amazing experience, I can’t recommend it enough.

  3-Hour Inshore with child

  3 Hour Inshore Trip 7AM on May 24, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  He took me out with my 8 year old son. I asked to try for more fish/action and not to worry about size. He made a short run, inshore, away from the wind and waves (It was a windy day). We immediately started catching snapper, almost all Lane Snapper. Caught a fish ever 5 minutes or less. My son enjoyed it. At 8 years old lots of catching and action is needed to keep his attention. There was plenty of catching. In the end, he accomplished exactly what i asked for and we had a good trip.

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Trip of a Lifetime in Boynton Beach!

  3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on December 25, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

  If you are looking for an elite fishing experience in South Florida, look no further. I took my 13-year-old son and my girlfriend out today, and it was hands-down one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had. The action was non-stop from the moment we hit the salt. The highlight of the day was my son landing a giant Wahoo—a total beast of a fish! The look on his face was worth the price of the trip alone. But the haul didn't stop there; we ended the day with a packed cooler: 5 Blackfin Tunas 1 Massive Wahoo 2 King Mackerel 2 Bonitas 1 Barracuda What really set this experience apart was the service. Our captain/guide didn't just put us on the fish; he took the time to clean and fillet everything for us. We were able to bring fresh, world-class Tuna and Wahoo straight from the boat to our party that night. Having "ocean-to-table" sushi that you caught yourself is an experience you can’t beat. It was fun, professional, and productive. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or taking the family out like I did, I cannot recommend this crew enough. We will definitely be back!

  Lifetime Trip

  Half Day Offshore Trip on November 26, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

  This is the second time I have gone out with Captain Barry. Last year, we caught some Wahoo and Dolphin. This year, we crushed the catch, making it a lifetime trip. Not only did we land dolphin and a nice sized Wahoo, we also landed a Black Tuna, and two good sized King Mackerel. What made this special however, was when I snagged a 8’ Hatchet Marlin!!! I was with my two kids and my dad. Captain Barry is great with all of them and made sure we had a great time. He was patient as we asked a ton of questions and always polite. I would absolutely recommend families and the serious alike to get a trip with Captain Barry and On the Line Sportsfishing!

  Fish On!

  Half Day Offshore Trip on June 20, 2026 • 4 adults

  Guys had a great time on their half day excursion. Barry was awesome! Almost instantly caught fish. The vessel was in great condition, well stocked with all their fishing needs & the ride was smooth. Definitely recommend this charter. Great for a family day or a group of friends. Barry calls before the trip and ensures he knows a little of what you are looking for before you even head out. 10/10 experience
