The experience

You board a fishing vessel at the Lake Osborne marina and spend the next several hours casting for peacock bass, largemouth bass, and the occasional clown knifefish in the chain's calm freshwater canals and interconnected lakes. The waterway sits minutes from Palm Beach but feels removed from it. You'll cruise past tropical landscapes, waterfront homes, and wildlife while working the productive spots your captain knows. All rods, reels, tackle and safety equipment come with you. The cooler holds ice and bottled water for the duration.

Your licensed guide speaks English or Spanish and tailors the fishing to your skill level, whether you've never held a rod or you fish regularly. The captain shares local techniques and reads the water to put you where the fish are feeding. The charter operates in most weather, so dress for conditions. The calm urban canals mean you're fishing protected water even when the ocean is rough.

Morning departures start at 6:30am or 7am depending on the length you choose. Afternoon charters leave at 1pm or 2pm. The 4-hour and 6-hour options both fit into a single day. Marina facilities and bathrooms are on-site, and the boat is wheelchair accessible. If you don't catch anything, you don't pay. That's the no fish, no pay guarantee.

What’s included

• All fishing equipment including premium rods and reels.
