One of the greatest advantages of fishing from Palm Beach Inlet is the incredible variety of offshore game fish available throughout the year.
The waters off Palm Beach County are influenced by the nearby Gulf Stream, creating an ideal environment for baitfish, migratory species, and some of the most exciting offshore game fish in the Atlantic Ocean. This unique combination of deep water access, changing currents, and seasonal fish migrations has made South Florida one of the most respected sportfishing destinations in the world.
At Do Stay Sportfishing Charters, every trip is built around providing guests with opportunities to target some of the most sought-after offshore species found anywhere along Florida’s east coast.
Since 2006, I have guided anglers of all experience levels aboard our beautiful Merritt sportfishing boat in pursuit of powerful, fast, and highly prized game fish. Whether you are hoping to catch your first offshore species or check a dream fish off your bucket list, Palm Beach County offers exceptional opportunities throughout the year.
Below are some of the incredible species we regularly target during our offshore fishing adventures.
For anglers who want the ultimate offshore fishing experience, full-day charters provide the greatest opportunity to explore productive waters, target multiple species, and maximize time on the ocean.
With a full day available, we can travel farther offshore, adapt to changing conditions, and focus on locating active fish throughout the day. This option is ideal for anglers targeting species such as sailfish, mahi mahi, wahoo, marlin, cobia, and kingfish.
Full-day trips offer flexibility, more fishing time, and the best opportunity to experience everything South Florida offshore fishing has to offer.
These charters are particularly popular with serious anglers, visiting fishermen, and groups looking for a complete sportfishing adventure.
A three-quarter day trip provides an excellent balance between fishing time and convenience.
With additional time compared to a half-day charter, guests can enjoy extended offshore fishing opportunities while still maintaining flexibility within their schedule.
These trips allow us to cover more water, target a wider variety of species, and adjust our strategy based on current conditions.
For many guests, the three-quarter day option offers the perfect combination of value, fishing time, and offshore excitement.
Half-day charters are an excellent choice for families, beginners, vacationers, and anyone interested in experiencing offshore fishing without committing to a full day on the water.
These trips provide plenty of time to enjoy the excitement of sportfishing while allowing guests to incorporate other activities into their day.
Many first-time anglers choose half-day charters because they offer an introduction to offshore fishing in a relaxed and comfortable setting.
Families with children often find this option particularly appealing because it provides exciting fishing opportunities while keeping the trip manageable for younger guests.
South Florida is widely recognized as one of the premier sailfish destinations in the world.
Sailfish are known for their incredible speed, spectacular jumps, and powerful fights. Hooking a sailfish is an experience that many anglers remember for a lifetime.
During peak sailfish seasons, our waters offer exceptional opportunities to target these highly prized game fish.
Whether you are pursuing your first sailfish or adding another catch to your fishing achievements, these trips provide some of the most exciting action available offshore.
Mahi mahi, often referred to as dolphin fish, are among the most sought after species in South Florida waters.
Known for their brilliant colors, aggressive strikes, and outstanding table fare, mahi mahi are a favorite target among anglers of all experience levels.
Seasonal migrations and offshore conditions often create excellent opportunities to locate schools of active fish.
The excitement of seeing brightly colored mahi mahi appear behind the boat and attack a bait is one of the most memorable experiences offshore fishing can offer.
If speed and power are what you seek, few species compare to wahoo and tuna.
Wahoo are famous for their blistering runs and explosive strikes, making them one of the most exciting fish in offshore sportfishing. Tuna are equally respected for their strength, endurance, and fighting ability.
Targeting these species requires knowledge, preparation, and an understanding of local offshore conditions.
These charters are ideal for anglers seeking a challenging and rewarding fishing experience.
Kingfish and cobia provide outstanding opportunities throughout much of the year.
Kingfish are known for their speed and aggressive feeding habits, while cobia offer a unique challenge due to their size, strength, and unpredictable behavior.
Both species provide exciting action and can be targeted during specific seasonal patterns throughout South Florida waters.
These trips are popular among anglers looking to experience a variety of offshore fishing opportunities.
Not every day on the water has to focus entirely on fishing.
Our private boat rentals with captain offer a flexible option for guests who want to enjoy the ocean aboard a premium vessel while benefiting from local knowledge and professional operation.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, entertaining friends, enjoying time with family, or simply looking for a relaxing day on the water, a private charter provides an unforgettable experience.

Fishing charters provide a refreshing alternative to traditional business events.
Corporate outings aboard our Merritt sportfishing boat create opportunities for team building, employee appreciation, client entertainment, and relationship development in a relaxed environment.
A day on the water encourages conversation, collaboration, and memorable experiences that often extend far beyond the office.
Whether your group consists of longtime clients, valued employees, or business partners, a private fishing charter offers a distinctive experience that stands apart from ordinary corporate activities.
South Florida’s coastline offers incredible natural beauty both on and off the water.
Our wildlife and sightseeing tours provide an opportunity to experience the Atlantic Ocean, coastal scenery, and local marine life without focusing on fishing.
Guests often enjoy observing dolphins, sea turtles, seabirds, and other wildlife while taking in the beautiful views surrounding Palm Beach County.
These trips are perfect for families, visitors, photographers, and anyone interested in enjoying a peaceful day exploring the area’s coastal environment.
