Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

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.

I hadn't been ocean fishing in years. I had a wonderful time spent with Capt. Neil and his daughter, Capt. Tara. We fished the morning, offshore, the reefs that run north and south along the Gulf Stream. We had a very productive day catching a 24" mutton snapper, a nice Mahi Mahi, and several other keepers. Neil and Tara worked as a team to locate the fish and then deliver the techniques to put them in the boat. It was a great morning to be on the ocean. Neil and Tara made the trip so much fun. You'll enjoy fishing with these two pros; they bring home the bacon, so to speak. I took home enough fish for 10 meals. Thanks, Neil and Tar,a for a great morning of fishing. Scott Hogan

Trip - Fish Offshore & Target West Palm Beach Gamefish on May 23, 2026

Went out with Neil and Tara early in the morning and hit a blackfin tuna right off the bat. Waves were a little rough but Neil and Tara were great and kept everyone in good spirits. I would absolutely do another trip with them and will recommend Neil to anyone looking for a good time and some good fish.

Trip - Fish Offshore & Target West Palm Beach Gamefish on April 24, 2026

Fabulous day of fishing!!! Went out with Capt. Neil and his first mate Tara for a four hour trip this morning. We caught a multitude of species, including my target Mahi... The boat was well equipped and comfortable... We did a mix of trolling and reef fishing, both being productive. We caught the mahi within 15mins of leaving the inlet.. Captain and crew were hospitable and did a great job getting us onto the fish... If you’re in the palm beach area, I highly recommend them.

Captain Neil and First Mate Tara were top notch, first class. The scenery was beautiful and we caught a couple of fish. Captain Neil and Tara both taught us different fishing methods. Most importantly, we had a lot of fun. We look forward to going out fishing with them again sometime.

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

Trip - Fish Offshore & Target West Palm Beach Gamefish on July 1, 2025

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.
