Choosing the right fishing charter is an important decision. Whether you are planning your first offshore fishing trip or returning to South Florida for another adventure, you want to feel confident that you are booking with an experienced captain who is committed to providing a great experience on the water.
Since 2006, I have had the opportunity to welcome anglers, families, vacationers, and business groups aboard Do Stay Sportfishing Charters. Every trip is personally operated by me, Captain Lou Mauro, and my goal has always been simple: provide a safe, enjoyable, and memorable day on the water.
Over the years, guests have shared their experiences and feedback after fishing with us. Their comments reflect what matters most to me: professionalism, a quality boat, local knowledge, and creating an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone onboard.
Do Stay Sportfishing Charters has earned positive feedback from anglers who have fished with us throughout the year, targeting species such as sailfish, mahi mahi, wahoo, tuna, kingfish, cobia, and marlin.

Many visitors also appreciate the fact that every charter is private, allowing families and groups to enjoy the experience together without sharing the boat with strangers.
My son and I had an amazing day with Captain Lou and first mate Chad. We were on fish within minutes of reaching the grounds, and Chad barely had time to set the full spread before we were hooked up again. These guys know exactly what they’re doing. Highly recommend!
We brought two teens and two five-year-olds and still caught plenty of fish. The boat was clean, and both the Captain and his mate knew exactly what to do. They were great with the kids, patient, and helpful the whole time. We’ll definitely be back!
Captain Lou and Brad had us catching fish from the very beginning. We aimed to catch some dolphins, and they delivered! It was an excellent trip—having done several charters before, this one was definitely the most memorable. Brad also filleted all the fish we caught for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip with Captain Lou and Brad. They were incredibly patient and helped us reel in plenty of great fish. Plus, their boat comfortably accommodated six adults, and at one point, we had four fish on the line simultaneously. It was worth every penny. Thank you!
Captain Lou and mate Gen were amazing! The captain took us directly to fantastic fishing spots, where our family of six from the Netherlands caught over a dozen large bonitas while also watching a bull shark chase us. Gen worked tirelessly to keep all the lines in the water and was incredibly kind and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend Captain Lou and Gen; thank you for this incredible experience!
The bite started slow, but the crew worked hard and still made it a great day. Really appreciate the effort!
Humorous and well-informed. A great experience overall.
We’ve done a lot of family fishing, and Lou and Tim at Do Stay Charters still impressed us. They were on time, had quality live bait, and put us right on the fish!
The captain and crew were both professional and welcoming. We caught a variety of species and brought home plenty of fish to share with friends and family.
It was a nice experience, and I caught one fish. I would definitely do it again. Lou is an experienced captain, and his helper was fantastic. However, I would never use your booking app again, as it was the most ineffective system I’ve encountered in years.
We had an amazing morning trip with Captain Lou and Mate Rusty. We caught three sailfish and a Bonita. We would definitely book another charter and truly appreciate their expertise and camaraderie.
One of the things I enjoy most is introducing families to offshore fishing.
Not every guest who steps aboard is an experienced angler. Many families are trying offshore fishing for the first time, while others are creating a memorable vacation experience together.
Reviews frequently mention that trips are suitable for children and families, something I take great pride in. Creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable is an important part of every charter.
Whether you are bringing young children, teenagers, grandparents, or a group of friends, my goal is to make sure everyone enjoys their time on the water.
Guests also frequently comment on the comfort and quality of the vessel.
Do Stay Sportfishing Charters operates aboard a beautiful Merritt sportfishing boat that provides a comfortable platform for offshore fishing adventures.
The vessel comfortably accommodates up to six guests and has earned recognition as the #6 ranked boat among Jupiter’s Top 10 Best boats.
From the moment guests step aboard, they experience the comfort, space, and quality that help make each trip enjoyable.
Whether targeting sailfish offshore or spending the day searching for mahi mahi, the boat plays an important role in creating a premium experience.
Many charter businesses receive first-time customers.
My goal is to create returning customers.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to fish with many guests multiple times. Some return season after season, while others make it a point to book another trip whenever they visit South Florida.
Guests often mention:
Those are exactly the qualities I strive to provide on every trip.
As an owner-operated charter business, every trip is personally captained by me.
I believe guests appreciate working directly with the person responsible for the experience. From the first phone call through the end of the trip, my focus is on providing honest communication, professional service, and an enjoyable day on the water.
With nearly two decades of experience operating from Palm Beach Inlet, I continue to enjoy helping guests experience everything that makes South Florida sportfishing so special.
Whether you are interested in sailfish fishing, mahi mahi trips, offshore adventures, family fishing outings, corporate events, or simply spending time on the water, I would be honored to welcome you aboard.
Every trip offers the opportunity to create lasting memories, enjoy beautiful ocean scenery, and experience the excitement of offshore fishing with an experienced local captain.
I look forward to helping you create your own success story on the water.
