Questions about fishing charters and guides in Delray Beach

How much does it cost to go deep sea fishing in Delray Beach?

5 Delray Beach charters publish a half day rate on their own site, and they run $395 to $550 for the whole boat, with the middle of the range at $395. That is the boat for the day, not a price per person — split between six anglers a $395 trip is about $65 each. Shorter trips cost less; ask the captain, because fewer of them publish those rates.

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 25 of the 96 boats here run both, so a blown-out morning can become a back-country or bay trip. Ask what the captain does with weather, and what the cancellation terms are.

Back-country or offshore — which trip should I book in Delray Beach?

They are different days on different water. 29 charters here list offshore only, 6 list inshore only, and 25 list both. Offshore means a longer run and bigger fish; inshore means calmer water, shorter runs and sight-fishing. The month-by-month table above shows which fish the fleet says are around when you are coming.

How long is a trip out of Delray Beach?

Two and four hours are the lengths Delray Beach captains list most often. The clock starts at the dock rather than at the fishing grounds, so the run out and back comes out of your time on the fish.

How many people can come along in Delray Beach?

Three is the usual limit on a private boat here, though plenty take six — it is set by the captain's licence and the boat, not by how many will fit.

Are there family-friendly fishing charters in Delray Beach?

40 charters in Delray Beach mention kids or families on their websites. Ask the captain about children's life jackets, trip length and whether there's a restroom on board.

How do I book a charter or guide in Delray Beach?

Call the captain or use their website. CharterFishingBoat doesn't take bookings or payments, and there's no fee to use the directory.

What should I ask the captain?

Ask what the trip includes, how long it lasts, how many people can come, what you're likely to catch that time of year, and the cancellation policy if the weather turns.

Where do state waters end off Delray Beach?

Florida state waters on the Atlantic run from shore to 3 miles out; beyond that is federal water. Federal seasons and limits apply beyond it, and for some fish they also apply to federally permitted charter boats inside state waters.
