With over 25 years of fishing the inshore and offshore waters of Daytona Beach, Captain Mark Gibson is ready to take you and your family or friends on a trip of a lifetime. Regardless of your angling skills, he will work hard to show you and your entire party how great fishing is.
Capt. Mark has a 22’ Mako, which can accommodate up to 3 guests. She has all the electronics necessary to locate the fish and Penn fishing gear you’ll need to reel that fish in. The boat is also equipped with a 20-gallon freshwater shower, a 20-gallon live bait tank, 200 HP Suzuki engine, and 2 ice boxes (one for the catch, the second one for your snacks and drinks).
Depending on your fishing spot and the season, you could be targeting Barracuda, Red Snapper, Snook, Redfish, Kingfish, Bonito, Flounder, and many more. The captain will make sure live bait is ready before the trip starts. After you get back to the marina, he’ll clean and fillet your catch. You will get two fish per person cleaned for free, after that there’s an additional charge for the service.
Your fishing equipment and license are covered. You need to bring your snacks, drinks, sunglasses, hats, and sunblock. Kids ages 6 and above are welcome and the captain provides life vests for them.
Nauti Diver Charters will do their best to create a fun day on the water for you and to make sure to leave the marina with fresh fish in the bag. This is the perfect boat for your next fishing adventure along the Halifax River and Ponce Inlet. Contact today.
If paying by CC a 3% fee will be charged for paying the remaining balance.

Thanksgiving week special on November 27, 2024
Captain Mark is great. He asked me what we wanted target I said fish, he asked me what I wanted to catch I said fish tgat are bitting. I knew what he meant and he was a great sport. We got on sea trout and could have stayed all day the action was fantastic. However we wanted to catch other species so we moved out and limited almost immediately on permit then we came back and hit some black drum. My wife who doesn't enjoy fishing loved the trip. All in all we caught 6 species. Fantastic time and Captain.

Race Special 50 Off an Exta Hr on February 18, 2025
Captain Mark makes for a great trip. Knows the area very well and has no problem putting you on fish. I knew going in it wasn't the best time of year to fish but regardless we managed to boat countless sheepshead & bluefish. Also brought in whiting, sand trout, and a small bonnet head shark. But the highlight was the great slot red and spec trout. This was our second trip with Nauti Diver and will be back again. No question. Great banter on the boat as well. You can really tell he loves what he does and is having a much fun as you out there. Look no further. Book it.

Special 3 hr Inshore trip 4 Ppl Max on June 30, 2024
I booked this trip as a surprise for my husband’s birthday and we had the BEST time. Captain Mark is a phenomenal captain. The fish were not cooperating to begin with, but Captain Mark kept us moving until we found them! We caught snook, mangrove snapper, and saw some tarpon. We’ve been on several fishing charters and Mark is by far the most dedicated and persistent captain we’ve experienced. He knows his way around so well and we truly enjoyed fishing with him. I would recommend Captain Mark’s trips to everyone hoping to catch some fish in the area. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you, Captain Mark.

4 hr inshore 4 ppl max on March 19, 2025
Mark was amazing with my 9 year old son. He is passionate about fishing, and took the time to explain stuff to my son. All 3 of us had a great day catching multiple species of fish and a small Bonnet head shark. We will most definitely book again in the future.

I have been fishing and diving the waters off Daytona for 25 years and professionally running charters since 2008. I'm very passionate about fishing and that is why I decided to do it for a living. We will do a lot of bottom fishing offshore and nearshore, using live and dead baits. The best part of these trips is making customers smile and sending them home with a memory.
