What To Expect
The Blue Heron Fleet was established in 1955 by Capt. Harry Nagel. The fleet has been family owned and operated with the third generation currently at the helm. Blue Heron offers excellent year round fishing at a great price. The two vessels are the largest and most comfortable in the area. Vessels are custom built aluminum drift fishers that meet and exceed the United States Coast Guard regulations. The cabins offer cushioned seating, settees for catering, and clean men's and ladies restrooms. The Vessels are equipped with state of the art navigation and fish finding equipment. Both our locations are minutes from prime fishing grounds 20-40 minutes away depending on which hot spot is producing fish catches. Productive reefs (natural and artificial) exist in 50 feet through 200 feet of water. The Gulf Stream comes to its closest point of land around the Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlets. All of our fishing 'catching' is done from ¼ mile to 3 miles from shore. Catches consist of Kingfish, Snapper, Grouper, Mahi-Mahi, Sailfish, Cobia, Barracuda, Sharks, False Albacore and Wahoo.

DO NOT BOOK THIS CHARTER

1.00I have booked this Charter twice. Once in Nov and once in Jan. Both times I booked on a Sunday. We drove 1 hr each way and when we arrive they say “Sorry we have to cancel because we don’t have enough people”. They never called in advance and advised us. The first time they refunded me right away. This second time they have not refunded me and don’t respond to phone calls or emails! If you really want to take this charter make sure you have a group of at least 10 or chances are it will be cxld with no advance notice. It is a big waste of time!!!!!!
No refund for cancellation

1.00When the trip was canceled, getting a refund is not easy, the boat captain at the dock said I would be getting a refund for canceling trip. Three weeks still no refund. Trying to get refund on website is frustrating , still no luck
Disappointed

1.00Booked an afternoon trip for me and my brother on the Blue Heron drift boat. We arrived on time but nobody else showed up, so they canceled the trip. The captain said they would refund my money, but it's been eight days and I haven't received it yet. Now I can't figure out how to get in touch with anybody to ask about it.
Wally is a great captain.

1.00We had booked a 1:00pm cruise. We arrived at 12:45pm. They at that time advised the 7 of us booked was not enough people and they would have to Cancel. 1 guy even said he would pay for 3 more people so we could go. They refused to let him do this and said No we are cancelling this trip. THEY ARE NOT PLEASANT TO DEAL WITH!!! Don’t book this boat. They ruined several people’s day as we were all looking forward to this and now it was too late to book something else!!
