Trips & rates
Everything from a $200 seat on the reef to a private day offshore. Prices are for the boat unless the card says per seat, and every trip includes rods, tackle, bait, your licence and filleting at the dock.
Trips & rates
Seven trips off the same dock. Rods, reels, terminal tackle, bait and your Florida licence are on the boat, and Neil cleans and fillets your catch before you leave.
4 hours · 8:00 AM or 1:00 PM · up to 5 guests
The classic Palm Beach run. Live baits out and a trolling spread behind the boat over the ledges and current edges just outside the inlet, for sailfish, blackfin tuna, wahoo, mahi and amberjack. Hands-on the whole way — you work the rods, Neil and Tara work the fish.
Sailfish · Blackfin tuna · Wahoo · Mahi mahi · Amberjack
5 hours · 8:00 AM · up to 5 guests
The extra hour is the one that lets Neil change his mind. Troll the rips for kings and pelagics, then drop weighted rigs into the bottom relief for mutton snapper, grouper, yellowtail and triggerfish — whichever is the best fishing that day.
King mackerel · Mutton snapper · Grouper · Mahi mahi
3 hours · 8:00 AM · up to 3 guests
Straight out through the inlet and onto nearshore ledges and hard bottom in minutes, so almost all of the three hours is line-in-the-water. Light to medium tackle bounced into the structure for red grouper, triggerfish, sheepshead and grunts. Dinner, in other words.
Red grouper · Triggerfish · Sheepshead · White grunt
3 hours · 5:00 PM · private boat
The same reefs and artificial wrecks, fished as the light goes. Bottom rigs down into the structure right as the evening feed switches on, for mutton and yellowtail snapper, grouper and kingfish — and the ride back in at dusk.
Mutton snapper · Yellowtail · Grouper · Kingfish
3 hours · 8:00 AM · 3 seats, minimum 2
You are not buying the boat, you are buying a spot on it. Three seats, controlled drifts over coastal ledges, cut bait down deep for red grouper, mutton snapper and screaming king mackerel runs. The cheapest way to find out whether you like this.
Mutton snapper · Red grouper · King mackerel
5 hours · 8:00 AM · masks AND SNORKEL provided
Bend the rods first — light tackle for mutton snapper and barracuda, or offshore for blackfin, mahi and sailfish if the day is right. Then Neil runs over to Peanut Island, hands out masks, and the rest of the morning is snorkelling, swimming and lunch on the beach.
Mutton snapper · Barracuda · Blackfin tuna · Mahi mahi
2 hours · 6:00 PM · bring your own drinks
Not a fishing trip. Past Peanut Island and down the Intracoastal — the waterfront estates, the mega yachts, manatees and turtles — then out to the inlet mouth for the sun going down behind the Palm Beach skyline. Bring what you want to drink. No glass.

Prices are for the boat, except the drift, which is per seat. A 20% deposit books the date; the balance is due on the day, by Zelle, Venmo or cash.
Before you book
Neil's own terms, in plain English. Anything not answered here, call him — he would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Rods, reels, terminal tackle, frozen bait, and lures, your Florida saltwater fishing licence, and cleaning and filleting your catch at the dock. Live bait is available for purchase on the day of the trip. Tips for the crew are greatly appreciated! You keep what you catch.
A hat, sunscreen, polarised sunglasses and clothes for the weather. Food and drinks for the trip — no glass bottles on the boat.
A 20% deposit holds the date. The balance is due on the day of the trip, by Zelle or Venmo or cash. Tips for the crew are greatly appreciated
Cancel at least three days before the trip and your deposit is refunded. Rescheduling is easier than cancelling and Neil would rather do that — it depends on what he has open.
If Neil has to call it off for weather, health or a boat problem, you choose: pick another date, or take the deposit back.
Yes, and a lot of the reviews are from families. Younger guests wear a life vest the whole trip. Tara is usually the one who ends up teaching them.
Book a trip
He is on the water most days, so a text often gets an answer faster than a call. Trips leave from Phil Foster Park, 900 E Blue Heron Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33404.
That is with Neil. He will come back to you as soon as he is off the water.
