Sea Horse Fishing Adventures

Sea Horse Fishing Adventures runs out of the New Port Cove Marine Center on East 22nd Court, one of two working marina complexes on Riviera Beach’s Intracoastal shoreline. Captain Lee and his crew run two trips most days, a morning charter from eight until noon and an afternoon run from one until five, with poles, tackle, and bait included in the price so newcomers can walk on board without any gear of their own.

The fishing here covers the mix of species that make Palm Beach County a year round destination for anglers: snapper, grouper, kingfish, and the occasional sailfish or mahi when the Gulf Stream pushes in close, which it does more often off Riviera Beach than in most other parts of the Florida coast because the stream runs within a few miles of the inlet. Sea Horse also runs night fishing trips for anglers who want a shot at species that bite better after dark, and the boat is available for burial at sea services, a niche but steady part of the business for families who want a quiet send off on the water.

What sets this operation apart from some of the bigger party boats is scale. This is a smaller charter with a crew that tends to stay hands on through the trip, baiting hooks, untangling lines, and coaching first timers rather than just running the boat. Online reviews consistently mention Lee and his mate Joseph by name, which says something about an operation where the same people show up trip after trip rather than rotating through hired hands.

Riviera Beach’s inlet access means boats based here reach blue water fast, often within twenty to thirty minutes depending on conditions, which leaves more time actually fishing rather than running. The marina itself has parking and is an easy stop for anyone staying in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, or the northern beach towns looking for a half day on the water without committing to a full offshore charter. Anglers should call ahead to check tide and weather, since trips can shift or move to protected water when conditions off the inlet turn rough.
