Hoping to catch some fish in Atlantic Beach? That's what Tempest Sportfishing is here for! With Captain Leonard at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Bluefish (Tailor), Skipjack, Mahi Mahi, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Bluefin Tuna, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Amberjack, Jack Crevalle, Sailfish, Black Seabass, Blacktip Shark, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your trip begins aboard a 38' Cap-N-Squid sportfishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Tempest Sportfishing!

    Great day fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Sound/Inlet on October 9, 2026 • 3 adults

    Had a great time fishing with Captain Leonard and Nate. Capt put us on some Spanish False albacore and King mackerel. Both are very knowledgeable and had no problem educating us and answering any questions we asked. Just great people to be around and enjoyed our fishing trip. Will definitely fish with these guys again!!! Thanks again for a great day fishing.
