What Inshore Fishing Means Here
Inshore fishing happens in the protected water between the barrier islands and the mainland. In Palm Beach County, that means the Intracoastal and the Lake Worth Lagoon.
The lagoon is the county's largest estuary, and more than 250 kinds of fish use it, according to Palm Beach County. In a 2019 county fishing challenge on the lagoon, the most-caught fish were gray snapper, lane snapper, common snook and crevalle jack.
Inshore water is usually calmer than the open ocean. That makes it a good choice for kids, first-time anglers and anyone prone to seasickness.
Our Inshore Trips
Our inshore trips are private. Your group has the boat and the captain to yourselves. Your captain picks spots based on the tide and the day's conditions. See full details on our inshore fishing charter page.
Fishing rods and gear are a paid add-on, so you don't need to bring your own. Life jackets come with every trip. It's one of our private boat charters in Palm Beach, with fishing as the focus.
Do You Need a Fishing License on a Charter?
This is a question most fishing pages don't answer clearly.
Florida usually requires a saltwater fishing license. But the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission exempts anglers who fish from a for-hire vessel that holds a valid charter license. If the boat's license doesn't cover you, you'll need your own.
Ask our concierge when you book. They'll tell you whether your group needs individual licenses for your trip.
Fishing Rules to Know
Florida sets size limits, bag limits and closed seasons for many species. Snook, for example, has its own rules and seasons. Your captain will help your group follow the current rules, and some fish may need to go back in the water.
What to Bring
Rods and gear are available as an add-on. Beyond that, bring:
- A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Light layers for early mornings on the water.
- Water and snacks, unless your concierge is arranging catering.
- A cooler bag if you plan to keep legal fish.
