If you’re searching for a charter that can take your kid on their first trip, as well as cater to seasoned sea wolves looking for serious offshore action, you’re looking for Denise Marie Charters.

Join the captain on board the “Denise Marie”. Denise Marie is a 34’ fully rigged sportfisherman. She has twin diesel engines, manufactured by Detroit, each with 300 HP. She can comfortably hold up to 6 anglers, without tangling lines. There’s a large tuna tower, with upper and lower controls. Livewells will keep your bait appetizing long after you’ve caught it. Outriggers and downriggers will greatly extend your reach when you troll.

Don’t worry about lacking comfort on this vessel, despite her serious fishing equipment you won’t be inconvenienced. A fully enclosed cabin will provide you shelter from the Florida sun. There’s also a private toilet, as well as a shower, to keep you fresh between exciting battles.

You’ll go after a wide range of exciting species like the Sailfish, Barracuda, Kingfish, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi. If you’re a fan of bottom fishing, you can pick and choose from several species of Snappers to target. If you want a proper fight, you could go after Jack Crevalle. Many other species can be targeted as well!

Captaintakes pride in teaching kids and beginners the fun of fishing and boating. Small children are OK on board, but customers should contact the captain to work out the details – kids aren’t recommended to go on longer trips. The captain will provide you with all PFDs required.

A first mate is on board to give you a hand with whatever you need and to clean and fillet your catch. A gratuity of 20% is greatly appreciated.

So whether you’re looking to reel in that dream fish or just want to take your kids out for their first fishing trip ever, book a trip with Denise Marie Charters and get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)

Captain Pat is Awesome.

VERIFIED

It was quite clear that Captain Pat was extremely knowledgeable about the waters of the Space Coast. Upon speaking to him, he shared that he has essentially spent his life on the water from the waters off of New York to the Space Coast of Florida. Captain Pat had so many incredible stories from his time on the water. I also firmly believe he knows “the spots” and understands the fishery well. Captain Pat was doing his best to put us onto the best spots and he was finding schools and schools of bait. We ended up bringing in well over 18+ Spanish Mackerel and 15 keepers. If you aren’t catching fish it is the waters and the fish NOT this Captain. Thank you Captain Pat for a great day of fishing and for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
