Orlando Florida is truly a wonderful place to visit, so come and experience it with Captain Tom Carver and his crew. We strive to make your day on the water a successful one, while providing outstanding service with a smile.

The Lagoon starts at the northern end known as Ponce Inlet and makes its way south to Merritt Island. The 20 plus miles of shallow flats averages between 1–6 feet of saltwater. This estuary gives life to many special creatures including the Florida Manatee and Bottlenose Dolphin. Kids love seeing the creatures freely swimming around the boat as we fish the flats. However, the common Stingray seems to amaze them the most.

Capt. Tom targets Redfish more than any other species due to the popularity and the amazing fight that they put up when caught on light tackle. Other possible catches are Snook, Tarpon, or Speckled Trout.

You’ll fish from a 22 foot Cobia bay boat. This vessel rides smoothly through shallow waters and she’s powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. The captain will make sure there’s everything you need for fishing onboard, so you only need to bring your snacks and drinks.

September fishing trip

I booked a 3hr charter 09-18-24 with Captain Tom on the Banana River as an anniversary surprise for hubby. We had not ever done any fishing in Florida before. We are from Minnesota and were on a trip to Walt Disney World, staying in Orlando. We made the easy drive over to Merritt Island early morning in time for the 7am launch. We found the boat slip and Captain Tom easily. The boat is immaculate with state of the art gadgets to assist with finding and marking fish. What we didn’t expect was the lack of bigger, hungry fish. The night before, there was a convergence of a super moon, harvest moon and a 3rd moon! We did catch fish, smol trout and a bunch of very fiesty Sailcats (maybe a type of catfish?) but bigger fish were elusive. We theorized the moons allowed the fish to eat during the nite so they were stuffed in the morning, no appetite! It wasn’t for lack of trying as Captain Tom kept us on the move, trying several different spots in an effort to catch bigger fish. Captain Tom really knows the area, having grown up fishing there and has entertaining stories. We had a great time regardless, it’s always a good morning when you can be in a boat, casting for fish😉 We would definitely charter again with Flat Addicted/Captain Tom. And will try to avoid a convergence of 3 moons in the future!

Tom was great. Nice conversations about trip and island and learned stuff we did not know. Great experience; did not have best luck at catching but really enjoyed ourselves.
