As soon as you step aboard Capt. Sergio's fully-rigged fishing machine, you'll know you're in for a treat. The day kicks off early, giving you prime time on the water when the fish are most active. You'll cruise past the picturesque Palm Beach coastline before hitting the offshore grounds where the big boys play. Capt. Sergio knows these waters like the back of his hand, so get ready to hit all the productive spots where gamefish love to hang out.

Palm Beach's offshore waters are teeming with trophy fish, and Capt. Sergio's got the know-how to put you on them. You'll be using a mix of trolling and live bait fishing techniques to target a variety of species. Expect to see rods bending with mahi-mahi (dorado) strikes, the heart-pounding rush of a sailfish on the line, or the powerful runs of a wahoo. The captain's got a few tricks up his sleeve, like kite fishing for sailfish or chunking for yellowfin tuna when they're in the area. It's all about reading the water, finding the bait, and presenting your offerings in the strike zone.
Mahi-Mahi: These colorful acrobats are a Palm Beach staple. Known for their spectacular aerial displays and delicious meat, mahi-mahi (also called dorado or dolphinfish) are a favorite among anglers. They're often found near floating debris or weedlines, and once you hook one, there's a good chance its buddies are nearby. Spring through fall is prime time for mahi, with many fish in the 15-30 pound range, though bigger bulls over 50 pounds aren't uncommon.
Sailfish: The crown jewel of Palm Beach sportfishing, sailfish are the high-flying rock stars of the ocean. These billfish are known for their incredible speed (they can swim up to 68 mph) and their spectacular aerial acrobatics when hooked. Winter and early spring are peak seasons, but you can catch them year-round here. The thrill of watching a sailfish light up with its electric blue colors as it charges a bait is unforgettable.
Wahoo: If you're looking for a fish that'll make your reel scream, wahoo is your target. These streamlined speedsters are like the cheetahs of the sea, capable of incredible bursts of speed. They're often found along drop-offs and around structures like shipwrecks. Wahoo meat is highly prized for its firm texture and mild flavor. While they can be caught year-round, fall and winter tend to see more consistent action.
Blackfin Tuna: These smaller cousins of the famed bluefin tuna pack a punch for their size. Blackfin are often found in schools, which means multiple hookups are possible. They're known for their strong fights and excellent table fare. Look for birds working the surface to find feeding tuna. While they're around all year, spring and fall often see the best runs.
Capt. Sergio's full-day charter isn't just about catching fish—it's about the whole experience. You'll soak in the stunning views of the Palm Beach coastline, feel the salt spray on your face, and maybe even spot some marine life like dolphins or sea turtles. The captain's easy-going nature and wealth of fishing knowledge make for a relaxed yet productive day on the water. Whether you're looking to check a species off your bucket list or just want to bend a rod with friends and family, this trip delivers the goods. Plus, with 8 full hours on the water, you've got plenty of time to try different techniques and hit various hotspots.
