🚨 September Trips Now Open! 🚨
We’re now booking for our next two pelagic trips—September 6th and September 20th!

These are six hour trips departing at 6:30AM.

Price: $200.

As always, we keep a close eye on marine weather. If a Saturday trip gets weathered out, we’ll first aim to run Sunday of the same weekend. If the whole weekend is a wash, we’ll roll it to the following weekend:

• Sept 6 → backup weekend: Sept 13
• Sept 20 → backup weekend: Sept 27

Zelle is preferred for booking, but Eventbrite is also available if needed.

🚤 🌴 **Only 1 seat left — August 16, 2025!** 🌴 🚤

Thank you for making our inaugural season such a blast. Your enthusiasm turned every run into a memory we’ll never forget!

• **Date:** Saturday, Aug 16 — last four spots of the season.

• **Looking ahead:** We’re planning at least two trips a month in the off season, weather permitting.

• **Reliability:** Late‑spring & summer weather treats us \~95 % of the time. From fall through winter that drops to about 65 %, so snag the smooth‑water window while it’s here.

🌅 **Weekend Recap – Friends, Family & Feathered Finders!** 🛥️

We snuck offshore with the crew today and packed a whole lot of memories into one perfect summer morning:

• 🎣 **Young angler highlight:** Little Marcus reeled in a beautiful school-size mahi, posed for the photo-op, and set it free to keep growing. Proud captain moment!
• 🌪️ **Nature’s show:** A distant waterspout danced on the horizon—spectacular from the *safe* side of several nautical miles.
• 🐢 **Surprise guest:** A juvenile sea turtle caught napping in the sargassum mats—always a treat to see.
• 🕊️ **Bird buzz:** Noddies are moving in, tropical terns are still cruising in strong numbers, and Sargasso shearwaters put on another aerial display. The birds truly led us to the fish this trip!

🔗 **Did you know?** Palm Beach Pelagics is **fully licensed for private fishing charters**. We blend top-notch angling with expert seabird spotting—because the birds point the way to the bite!

📩 Drop us a message if you’re ready for a **bird-ing fishing adventure** of your own. Let’s get you on the calendar! 🗓️✨

🚨 Trip report: Shear madness! 🌊🐦
We tallied **50+ Sargasso Shearwaters today—30 swirling in the water at once—plus a whole squadron of tropical terns.** What a show!

⚓️ **Only 2 seats left** on our inaugural **8-hour Pelagic, July 26 (6 AM–2 PM).** Grab yours before they’re gone.

⛵️ Still a few spots open for our mid- to late-August trips—prime time for summer seabird action.

🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who’s sailed with us so far this high season (May–August). Sharing these elusive ocean wanderers with you is an honor.

🌦️ We’ll keep running after August, but fall-winter weather can be fickle, so expect shorter-notice trip drops from September through April. Stay tuned and be ready to hop aboard!

🇺🇸🎆 Happy Fourth from Palm Beach Pelagics—reporting in from beautiful South Carolina! No waves under the hull today; we’re soaking up the Sun, and recharging for our next Gulf Stream adventure back home.

However you’re celebrating—backyard BBQ, local fireworks, or a quick coastal bird walk—may your day be filled with freedom, friends, and a touch of salty air. We’ll be hoisting the burgee and heading offshore again soon, so keep an eye on the page for our next Florida trip drop.

Stay safe, savor the sparklers, and we’ll see you on the blue water after the holiday! 🌊🦅✨
