All bookings are handled directly by calling Captain Tore. This keeps things simple and personal, so you can talk through the type of trip you want, your experience level, and what you’re hoping to catch before locking in a date.
No online forms or third-party platforms here. Reel Lucky keeps it old school and personal. When you call, you speak directly with the captain who will be running your trip.
Absolutely. Every group is different. When you call, Captain Tore will walk you through the differences between half-day, full-day, and specialty trips so you can choose the experience that fits your goals.
It helps to know how many people are in your group, what dates you’re considering, and what trip you are interested in. If you are not sure, Captain Tore will guide you based on the season and conditions.
Peak seasons such as sailfish runs and swordfish months can book up quickly, especially on weekends. Calling a few weeks in advance is recommended, but last-minute availability sometimes opens up.
Because each trip is scheduled personally through the captain, any changes are handled directly and honestly. The best approach is open communication as early as possible.
Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, standard bait, ice, and fish storage. The boat is fully equipped and operated by Captain Tore, so you can focus on fishing while he handles the rest.
Dead bait is included for most trips. Specialty live bait such as goggle eyes, sardines, or threadfins may be available for an additional charge depending on availability and your target species.
Not always. One of the biggest advantages of fishing aboard Reel Lucky is the ability to move quickly. If the bite slows down, Captain Tore can adjust and run to a new area to stay on active fish.
All Reel Lucky charters depart from Riviera Beach, conveniently located near the Palm Beach Inlet at 200 E 13th St. This close access to the inlet allows us to reach productive fishing grounds quickly and spend more time fishing.
Depending on the season and trip, you may target sailfish, mahi mahi, wahoo, kingfish, swordfish, tarpon, snook, snapper, African pompano, and more. West Palm Beach offers year-round variety.
Yes. Reel Lucky runs everything from calm inshore action and inlet fishing to high-speed offshore runs along the Gulf Stream for trophy species.
Absolutely. Conditions change, fish move, and Captain Tore adapts. The goal is always to go where the bite is strongest and give you the best possible experience.
Trips take place in the waters just off the coast of Palm Beach along the Gulf Stream. Depending on the type of trip and current conditions, we may fish inshore, nearshore, or head offshore to target the most active bite.
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, snacks, drinks, and weather-appropriate clothing. Soft-soled shoes are recommended for safety and comfort on deck.
The 31-foot Contender is built for offshore performance but also provides seating, shade, and space to move around safely during the trip.
Inshore and half-day trips are especially great for families and younger anglers. Offshore and swordfishing trips are better suited for those ready for a more intense experience.
