He spent many formative years navigating and exploring Florida’s most productive coastal ecosystems\, including the Indian River Lagoon\, Lake Worth Lagoon\, Biscayne Bay\, the Upper Keys\, and the Gulf Stream waters off Palm Beach. These early experiences built a strong foundation in seamanship\, local conditions\, and seasonal wildlife movements that continue to shape his approach today. \nCaptain Kelly brings a careful\, observation-focused mindset to every trip\, emphasizing safety\, ethical wildlife viewing and photography\, and education. His background across both inshore and offshore environments allows him to adapt trips to conditions while maximizing opportunities for close\, respectful views of seabirds\, shorebirds\, gulls\, and terns. He is particularly interested in pelagic species and wintering coastal birds and enjoys sharing local knowledge with birders of all experience levels. \nPalm Beach Pelagics was established in 2025 as a dedicated birding and nature-focused charter operation based in Palm Beach County\, Florida. The company offers offshore pelagic trips as well as inshore and Intracoastal excursions designed to highlight the region’s exceptional avian diversity. \nPalm Beach Pelagics works with individual birders\, small groups\, and conservation organizations to provide efficient\, well-planned outings that balance productivity with enjoyment. Whether running offshore along Gulf Stream weed lines or cruising calmer waters in local lagoons and natural areas\, the mission is to deliver high-quality birding experiences grounded in local expertise\, careful planning\, and respect for the birds and habitats of South Florida. \nTo Learn More about Palm Beach Pelagics Visit: https://www.facebook.com/p/Palm-Beach-Pelagics-61576018904303/
