Captain Neil consistently delivers impressive catches across multiple fishing techniques, from trolling for mahi-mahi and tuna to reef fishing for mutton snapper and king mackerel. Customers regularly report successful outings with species like Cobia, Wahoo, Bonita tuna, and yellowtail snapper, even in challenging weather conditions. His expertise shines through his ability to adapt tactics based on sea conditions and put clients on fish using drift fishing, trolling, and bottom fishing methods. Neil creates memorable experiences beyond just fishing success, taking time to connect with guests of all ages and ensuring everyone feels comfortable on his clean, well-maintained boat. Families particularly appreciate how he engages with children, while his first mate Tara adds excellent support for snorkeling adventures at Peanut Island. Customers consistently mention his professional communication, calling the night before trips and working around weather delays, with many planning return visits.

Palm Beach Charters was an outstanding time. Neil and Tara were fun to be with and worked hard to keep us busy catching fish. We caught 30+ in around 4 hours including a sailfish. We will be back to fish with them and highly recommended them. - Wade Collins

Nov 10. It was Beautiful morning for my son and I, Captain Neal and Capt. Tara were early, welcoming and anxious to get out to fish. We stopped for live bait, and Tara had us out of the inlet and trolling immediately as we hooked into a school of tuna. We then rigged some live bait and Soon had TWO Sailfish and the same time!! Ended the morning with drifting the reef for snappers. It was a trip of a lifetime for my son and myself. Capt. Neal was very attentive, informative, knowledgeable and on point with every fish on. Capt. Tara is amazing!! Had the wind blowing 2-3ft, she kept us on the fish and dry the whole time. Super greatful for this team of Palm Beach Charters!! We will 100% be on this boat often. Hail the Sea Serpent!! Go Birds!!!

My brother and I have always wanted to go deep sea fishing! We went out today with Captain Neil and Tara. We had so much fun. We ended up catching 6 mahi (2 were too small to keep but still really cool to catch). Towards the end of our trip we hooked into a tuna aprox 20lbs. I passed it off to my brother because I couldn’t get it and in the process an 8 ft shark stole it off our line. This was such a cool experience and we will def be going back if we come back to west palm beach. Thank you both so much.

Could not possibly put into words how great my experience was with Captain Neil and Tara. Incredible boaters, and fishermen, even better people. We were in some ROUGH water and I never questioned their abilities and Neil put us on fish. Thankful to have met them and started kind of a friendship. Great people. Would highly recommend and I won’t use any others when we’re visiting again. God bless you Neil and Tara.
