Ready to chase some of the fastest fish in the ocean? Our full-day sailfish trip out of Lake Worth Beach is the real deal. We're talking about serious fishing action, folks. You'll be trolling the deep blue waters off Florida's coast, targeting those majestic sailfish that'll make your heart race when they strike. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time going after billfish, our crew's got you covered with top-notch gear and know-how to put you on the fish.
We'll start bright and early, loading up the boat with everything we need for a full day of offshore fishing. As we head out, you'll feel that salty breeze and see the coastline fade away. Once we hit our fishing grounds, it's go time. We'll set out a spread of baits and lures, trolling at the right speed to entice those sailfish. Keep your eyes peeled for fins cutting through the water or fish tailing on the surface. When we get a hit, it's all hands on deck. Sailfish are known for their acrobatic fights, so be ready for some serious action when you're on the rod. Our experienced mate will be right there to coach you through the battle and help land that fish of a lifetime.
On this trip, we primarily use trolling techniques to target sailfish. We'll be pulling a mix of natural baits and artificial lures behind the boat. Think ballyhoo rigged with circle hooks, some plastic squids, and maybe even a few teasers to draw the fish in. We use light tackle setups – typically 20 to 30-pound test line on quality reels. This gives you the best shot at feeling every run and jump of these incredible fish. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing; our crew will walk you through everything from how to watch the lines to the proper technique for setting the hook when a sail strikes. And for you experienced anglers, feel free to bring your own gear if you prefer – just check with us beforehand to make sure it's suitable for the conditions we'll be fishing.
Atlantic Sailfish are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These fish are absolute rockets in the water, capable of speeds up to 68 mph. They're known for their stunning sail-like dorsal fin that often stands taller than the fish is long. Most sailfish we catch off Lake Worth Beach range from 6 to 8 feet in length and weigh between 40 to 60 pounds. But don't be surprised if we hook into a bigger one – the Florida state record is over 126 pounds! Sailfish are most abundant in our waters from late fall through early spring, but we can find them year-round. What makes them so exciting to catch? It's all about the fight. When a sailfish takes your bait, be ready for multiple airborne acrobatics as it tries to throw the hook. It's a true test of an angler's skill and patience, and landing one of these beauties is an accomplishment you won't soon forget.
Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the rush of battling a sailfish. It's not just about the catch – it's the whole experience. You're out there on the open ocean, taking in the views of the Florida coastline, maybe spotting some dolphins or sea turtles along the way. And when that reel starts screaming and you see a sailfish greyhounding across the surface, it's a moment that'll stick with you. Our repeat customers often tell us it's addictive. They come back year after year, trying to beat their personal best or just to relive that incredible feeling. Plus, with our catch and release policy for billfish, you get all the excitement of the catch while knowing you're helping to preserve these amazing creatures for future generations of anglers.

Atlantic sailfish are one of the coolest fish you can target here. These beauties can hit 10 feet long but average around 7-8 feet and 50-60 pounds. They're known for their iconic sail-like dorsal fin and blue metallic color. You'll find them in warmer waters, usually hanging out 30-65 feet deep but they can dive down to 650 feet. Winter's prime time to catch sailfish off Lake Worth, especially in the famous "Sailfish Alley" stretch from Miami to Fort Pierce. Anglers love 'em for their acrobatic fights - expect lots of leaping and diving. They're wicked fast too, clocking speeds up to 68 mph when they really get going. When we're after sailfish, we'll usually troll with rigged ballyhoo or live bait like blue runners. Pro tip: use circle hooks to increase your chances of a good hookup and make it easier to release these beauties unharmed. It's all about the chase and the thrill with these guys - you're in for a real show when you hook one.
