NSB Charters By Captain Brad goes to show that the best way to explore a new area you’ve never been to is with an experienced captain on a long, fast boat. You will find that Captain Brad has the former in spades. As for the boat, take a look at the photos and see for yourself.

Captain Brad’s custom built Dorado is 25 ft inside, with a 27 ft overall length. She cruises at speeds up to 55 knots, getting you to the offshore reefs quickly so you can start fishing early on in your trip. Equipped with navigational systems and a toilet for your convenience, this center console is a beautiful vessel in which you can truly enjoy your fishing trip.

All rods, reels and tackle are supplied on a charter with capt. Brad, and they are always of the highest quality. He uses Shimano tackle and Doa and Yozuri lures as well as Gulp! baits. On an offshore fishing trip with Brad you can expect to be in with a chance of catching Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Trigger-fish, Cobia, Mahi-mahi, Tarpon, Wahoo, Sharks and more, depending on the conditions and season.

Fishing licenses for all onboard are included, as is full insurance and catch cleaning and filleting. The first make will be on board to help you out with anything you may need during the trip. He works for tips, with 15% being customary for a job well done.

Capt. Brad is an experienced fisherman who puts 100% into every trip. He studies the tides, moon phases, barometric tables, water clarity and winds to put you in the best possible position to get a catch. A full-time professional guide in the area for 11 years, he uses his extensive experience to make sure every trip goes as well as possible. He has many repeat clients and is confident that once you’ve gone on a trip with him you will also want to book again!

4 Hr Trip – 4 per Inshore Big Boat

Half day offshore trip with Capt Brad

VERIFIED

Great trip, boat and crew. My boys (pictured above) are beginners and they both had all the support and suggestions they needed to have a great time. Capt Brad knew exactly where to go to find fish and we were catching fish within minutes of reaching “the spot.” We all caught multiple fish as well as a few big ones! Boat was well maintained and had all the equipment we could ever need. Really well done.
