For many anglers, catching a sailfish represents the ultimate offshore fishing experience. Known for their incredible speed, spectacular aerial displays, and powerful runs, sailfish are among the most exciting game fish in the world. Watching a sailfish charge a bait, explode from the water, and leap across the surface is something few anglers ever forget.
At Do Stay Sportfishing Charters, I have spent years helping guests experience the thrill of sailfish fishing off the coast of Palm Beach County. Operating from Palm Beach Inlet aboard a beautiful Merritt sportfishing boat, I offer private sailfish fishing charters designed for anglers of all skill levels.
Whether you are pursuing your first sailfish, introducing family members to offshore fishing, or adding another impressive catch to your fishing accomplishments, our local waters provide outstanding opportunities to target one of the Atlantic Ocean’s most sought-after species.
Since 2006, I have been guiding guests through these productive offshore waters and helping create memorable fishing experiences that last a lifetime.
Palm Beach County has earned a reputation as one of the premier sailfish fishing destinations in the United States.
One of the primary reasons is the close proximity of the Gulf Stream. This powerful current flows near the coastline, creating ideal conditions for baitfish and attracting large numbers of sailfish throughout much of the year.
The combination of deep water access, seasonal migrations, and productive offshore conditions creates excellent opportunities for anglers seeking sailfish action.
Because Palm Beach Inlet provides quick access to these offshore waters, we are often able to begin fishing productive areas shortly after leaving the dock.
This unique advantage helps maximize fishing time and creates outstanding opportunities throughout the sailfish season.
There is a reason sailfish are considered one of the most prized game fish in the world.
These fish are known for:
The moment a sailfish appears behind the bait spread can instantly change the atmosphere onboard.
Excitement builds quickly as anglers prepare for the strike and the action that follows.
Once hooked, sailfish often launch themselves into the air while making powerful runs across the surface. Their athleticism and beauty make every encounter memorable.
For many guests, a successful sailfish release becomes the highlight of their entire fishing trip.
Every sailfish charter is completely private.
When you book with Do Stay Sportfishing Charters, the boat is reserved exclusively for your group. You will never be sharing space with strangers or competing for fishing opportunities with other passengers.
Private charters provide numerous advantages, including:
Whether you are fishing with family, friends, colleagues, or visiting anglers, the private charter format allows everyone to enjoy the experience together.

Many fishing trips are remembered because of the fish that were caught. Sailfish trips are often remembered because of the entire experience.
The anticipation of spotting a fish behind the spread. The excitement of the strike. The power of the fight. The sight of a sailfish leaping across the ocean’s surface.
These moments create memories that remain long after the trip ends.
