Party boat fishing in the Vero Beach area of Flori

[BigLew]

A friend of mine and his familily are going to be in the Vero Beach area later this week and some of next week. I thought I'd ask my seacraft afflicted brethren if they could supply some pointers regarding possible party boat fishing options for him and his 16 yr. old son. Possibly a 1/2 day trip for some father/son bonding time? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If one of you are up for it, a ride in a Seacraft might help him understand my, otherwise, insane passion for a 30 year old boat that isn't in the water as we speak! Wishful thinking, but thought I'd put it out there. I will say that Joe is, without a doubt, the nicest and most sincere guy I have met in over 30 years in the business world.

Thank you to all those who consider, would and do respond.

Vero Beach is located between inlets. They would have to travel approx 30 min North to Sebastian Inlet or Go south to Ft Pierce. Ft pierce has a party boat called the "lady Stuart II. They seem to do good on bottom fishing. Here's the web site and directions. Ft Pierce Lady Stuart II

BTW: Make sure they lather up on sunscreen. It has been real hot. Take the morning trip vs the afternoon as lately the afternoon thunder storms are threatning

There isn't much of a party boat fleet at Sebastian, and what there is, I wouldn't go out on. Ft Pierce is your best bet. I haven't been on that particular boat, but there is some great bottom fishing out of there.
