Based at the historic Sailfish Marina Resort on Singer Island, Island Time Sportfishing invites you to experience the premier waters of Florida’s Atlantic coast. Our vessel, a legendary 52’ Viking, carries a 14-year legacy of excellence and a trophy room filled with tournament wins from Palm Beach to the Mid-Atlantic. Recently refreshed by new ownership, the boat combines a storied history of success with modern care, ensuring every guest enjoys a professional and high-end environment from the moment they step aboard. Our location provides a distinct advantage for those seeking west palm beach fishing charters, as the Palm Beach Inlet is the closest point in the state to the Gulf Stream. Because the warm, nutrient-rich current pushes so close to our shores, we are often lines-in within 20 minutes of leaving the dock. This quick access to deep water means less time traveling and more time focused on the target, whether you are interested in deep-sea trolling or the technical precision of palm beach shores fishing. The 52’ Viking is a versatile platform capable of handling any species that swims. We specialize in sailfish marina fishing charters, offering everything from light tackle setups perfect for children to heavy-duty gear for those looking to wrestle with Goliath Groupers or sharks. During the winter months, our crew excels at live-baiting for Sailfish, while the summer months offer productive offshore trolling for Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, and the occasional Blue Marlin. Our team is dedicated to an "experience-first" mindset, providing top-tier bait and tackle for every skill level. Comfort is a priority throughout our palm beach fishing charters offshore. When you need a break from the sun, our spacious, air-conditioned salon offers a comfortable couch and a full galley to relax in. The boat also features clean, private bathrooms and ample seating options, including bench seats on the bridge for a bird's-eye view of the blue water and additional seating in the cockpit to stay close to the rods. Whether you are a seasoned angler or a first-timer, our amenities ensure a pleasant day on the ocean. Beyond the pursuit of big game, Island Time Sportfishing offers curated experiences for those who simply want to enjoy the coastal lifestyle. We provide relaxing sunset cruises and scenic tours of the opulent waterfront estates lining the coast. Led by Captain Tyler, our trips are designed to be educational and engaging, leaving you with new skills and great stories.

For Captain Tyler Morris, a life spent on the water was never just a career choice—it was a natural progression. Growing up in Islamorada, the "Sportfishing Capital of the World," Tyler was raised in the heart of the Florida Keys' fishing culture. His father ran a charter boat out of the legendary Bud N’ Mary’s Marina, and Tyler was on the deck as a mate from a very early age. This unique upbringing allowed him to apprentice under some of the most respected guides in the industry, absorbing a diverse range of techniques that can only be learned through thousands of hours on the ocean. Today, with over 25 years of professional experience, he brings that deep-rooted Florida Keys heritage to every session he leads in West Palm Beach. While the technical side of the sport is important, Tyler believes the true value of being a guide lies in the personal connections made on the boat. His most memorable experience involves a young guest with a rare bone disease who caught his first fish aboard Tyler's vessel. That single moment turned into a five-year tradition of fishing together before the young man passed away. It is this focus on creating meaningful, lasting memories that drives Tyler’s approach. Whether he is teaching a novice how to hold a rod for the first time or helping a seasoned angler refine their kite-fishing skills, his goal is to ensure every guest leaves with a greater appreciation for the sport and the environment. What makes the waters off West Palm Beach truly legendary, in Tyler’s eyes, is the incredible proximity of the Gulf Stream to the Palm Beach Inlet. Unlike many other coastal areas, the depth here drops off with remarkable speed, creating a unique fishery where blue-water pelagics are found just a few miles from the dock. Tyler loves guiding in this area because the geography allows for an incredibly versatile day; you can transition from live baiting for Sailfish to trolling for Wahoo or exploring the productive reefs without wasting hours on travel. This "experience-first" mindset ensures that the focus remains on the action and the quality of the time spent on the water.<h3>The Vessel: A Tournament-Ready 52’ Viking</h3>The platform for these outings is a meticulously maintained 52’ Viking, a vessel that represents the gold standard in offshore comfort and performance. While the top-notch tackle and premium bait are standard for a professional operation, the amenities on this boat provide a level of relaxation rarely found on the water. The interior features a spacious, air-conditioned salon, a full galley, and clean, private bathrooms—essential for families or those who need a break from the Florida sun. Guests can take in the views from the bridge seating or relax on the cockpit bench seats between bites. This combination of a tournament-grade boat and a seasoned, professional crew makes Island Time Sport Fishing the premier choice for anyone seeking a comfortable and productive day at sea.

Frequently Asked Questions About Island Time Sport Fishing What is included in an Island Time Sport Fishing private charter?Our private charters are fully inclusive of everything you need for a professional day on the Atlantic. We provide tournament-grade tackle, fresh bait, and all necessary Florida fishing licenses for your entire group.

You simply need to bring your preferred snacks and drinks, and our crew will handle the rest. What is the best time of year to fish in West Palm Beach?The beauty of West Palm Beach is our productive year-round fishery, but the "best" time depends on your target species. Winter (November to March) is the peak for Atlantic Sailfish, while the spring and summer months (April to August) are ideal for Mahi-Mahi and Tuna.
