Booked a trip for myself and my two teenagers mid July, 2019. Captain Cliff put us on Albies, Rainbow Runners, Kings and more. He has a passion for what he does and shares knowledge by educating his clients. I have hired guides before, but going out with Cliff Budd was by far the best experience. We will definitely request his services again when we come back to Jupiter, FL.

As a new boat owner in the Palm Beach area, I signed up for a sailfish tournament and was not prepared with any gear to compete. Captain Cliff was recommended to me as an experienced Captain who could handle my boat and outfit it with gear. He took the time out of his schedule to bring me to various tackle shops to make sure I had the proper equipment. He also interviewed and hired two mates for the tournament. During the tournament, we had very challenging seas and he took the task of captaining my boat very seriously. He navigated the waters skillfully and ensured that our safety was a top priority. He kept us all at ease with his vintage music playlist! We enjoyed listening to his stories about events out on the water and he was really enjoyable to be around. His communication was frequent and his expertise is very valuable. He is well known throughout the area, given his fine reputation. All in all we had a great time and made a new friend!

Having been a Captain for 50 years, I was impressed with Cliff’s gentle and thoughtful approach to our fishing day. No rushing around at speed, or following the crowd, he really paid attention to “reading the water” as he said, and found us fish in places where you wouldn’t expect. Our crew was experienced and we all were impressed with this fine man. In addition to being a great local guide he is fun to be with, we are looking forward to the next time we are together!

Fishing with Capt. Cliff is certainly a memorable experience. I have fished with him and have brought several of my nephews on various trips. And without a doubt, the most fun and everyone has ever had. A great guide, knowledgeable and patient with everyone regardless of experience. Very hospitable and such a great host on our trips. Thank you for the memories and the ones to come.

We had an amazing time catching over 6 species of fish while not ever being stuck fishing with boats all over us. It was relaxing, fun and the adrenaline certainly kicked in with a couple shark surprises! Our pompano that was prepared at Blue Pointe Bar & Grill immediately after docking was possibly the best fish we have ever had! We will be back!

Great experience with Capt. Cliff! We caught so many fish! He had us on the fish within 20 minutes or so of leaving the dock. I think he counted we caught about 6 different types of fish. We were out 4-5 hours and ended up with 2 gallon bags full of fillets. Great job Cliff, and cant wait until we do this again.

Fishing with Captain Cliff was an enjoyable day, his experience and knowledge of the local waters was second to none! He was happy to share and teach my friend Steve and his grandson Brody the ropes. We caught 6 different species and kept a few fillets for the dinner table. Captain Cliff is a pros pro!!

My wife and I fished with “captain cliff” a few years ago. Spent 2 hours catching bait (he wouldn’t let us help, apparently sabiki rigs were to much for us to handle) (we have many years of experience), spent another hour running to the spot he wanted to fish and less than an hour actually fishing. Only landed 3 fish before he said our time was up. We will not use him again. We received much better service from another charter service 2 days later and had a blast!

My family and I have been fishing with Captain Cliff Budd for many years. I have caught some of my largest fish on his charters, but the treat does not stop there. With his wealth of knowledge on the seasons, species of fish and Floridas ecosystem, Captain Cliffs charters are an entire treat into fishing and experiencing what Jupiter, Florida has to offer for those willing to look. If you are looking for lovely chance to do just that with a quirky and personable guide who knows where to go, what to do and how to do it, look no further than Captain Cliff Budd!

After 10 years of chartering with Capt Budd, my daughter and I have had wonderful experiences. Now 22 and a FSU senior, she continues her targeted species pursuit with Capt Budd. Her first year in high school included a spot in Florida Sportsman Magazine, from a Capt Budd trip. That fueled her interest even more and pegged her as the most accomplished fisherman, challenging even the guys. Thank you Capt. Budd. Until next time!

I work in The Jupiter Bait & Tackle and Ive known Capt. Cliff Budd for many years, I have never heard anything bad about Cliff, only good. All Ive heard was Gee, this guy knows what he is doing. I highly recommend Capt. Cliff as the best guide you ever want over most of the other guides.

On 8/5/19, Capt. Budd took me and my three sons on a charter. This charter meant a lot to me as a father because it was my final father & son celebration of my youngest sons high school graduation (I took each son on a father & son fishing trip when they each graduated). My youngest asked if his two brothers could join and they were able to make it and the captain was kind enough to let us all join in the fun. As the boys get older, it just gets harder to get them all together.We planned the trip about 1.5-2 months ahead of the date. Wouldnt you know it, the weather was expected to be bad. Capt. Budd carefully monitors (as best he can and based on his experience) the weather and always ensures the safety of his charter guests first and foremost. We spoke several times as the date of the charter approached. Based on the latest weather reports we were good to go for at least a few hours and we discussed bait options and suggested species that may be available.We launched timely. Captain Budd is a very personable and friendly captain. His years on the water were obvious. Because of his planning, he was able to get my sons and me on some really beautiful snook as the outgoing tide was ending (despite the unbelievably inconsiderate folks moving in the minute they see a rod bend...kind of like vultures on roadkill! Unbelievable.). Thank goodness I dont have to deal with that but Capt Budd always kept cool and got us on the fish despite the other boaters literally getting almost on top of his boat.We then headed out to target some offshore species. We even got to see some famous folk/celebrities beach homes which frankly made the trip an awesome trip. Pretty cool! Great conversation, great information, great music as we fished. What a wonderful overall experience.Capt Budd was able to get us onto some, mahi mahi ! We caught kingfish, had some shark (most likely) on and perhaps even a goliath grouper based on the struggles my son had even moving the fish!!!! When we made it back to the inlet on our return. Capt Budd topped it off with a few more snook and barracuda! What an incredible variety of fish, what an incredible day on the water. I would highly recommend Capt Cliff Budd to anyone looking for a great fishing experience. Great captain, good man, wonderful instructor. Cant ask for better! The bent rods and smiles on my sons faces said everything I needed to know.

Cliff Budd is one of the best fishing guides around! Ive fished all over the country and world and he is extremely knowledgeable and has some of the best boatside manner Ive ever seen. Cliff is one of the nicest people I know and will do everything he can to provide a truely unforgettable trip. He will put you fish like no other and has backup plans on case a certain bite is slow. He is extremely intelligent and very well prepared. I highly recommended Captain Ciff Budd, if you like to fish. He is one of the nicest and most intelligent people I know and will do everything in his power to ensure an extremely memorable time!!!

I have fished with cliff for over 20 years. Most recently was yesterday . I have fished all over North America and the Caribbean . Cliff is truly one of the very best!Yesterday we hiked and caught a monsterous number of fish . There was literally action all day long!Species included snook, false albacore, black fin tuna, and several types of sharks. Variety and number of fish was unparrelleled .I opted not to mess with gigantic Goliath grouper. Huge bills and hammerheads were enough to whip me.Got lots of snook and albies on fly. Cliff is in class by himself .

Captain Budd is a very capable and knowledgeable individual. While no one can guarantee fish he comes as close to that claim as is humanly possible.
