Charter Boat Distraction
Charter Boat Distraction
Not all fishing charters are the same.
At Distraction Charters, we specialize in private, family-focused trips where kids, first-timers, and experienced anglers all feel comfortable from the moment they step on board.
No rushed trips.
No pressure.
Just a relaxed, guided experience built around you.
If you’re simply looking for the cheapest trip or the shortest ride offshore, we may not be the right fit—and that’s okay.
But if you’re looking for a true experience your family will remember, you’re in the right place.
For over 24 years, Captain Troy has focused on something most charters overlook:
• How people are treated
• How comfortable families feel
• Making sure everyone—especially kids—has a great time
We’ll even ask something most charters don’t:
“What’s the purpose of your trip?”
Whether it’s keeping a few fish for dinner or just enjoying time together, we tailor the trip around your goals—not ours.
Most families who choose us are looking for a relaxed, no-pressure experience.
If that sounds like you, feel free to reach out with any questions—we’re always happy to help.

Your captain
I grew up saltwater fishing and followed a different path in 2002—leaving a corporate career to become a full-time fishing guide. Early on, I noticed something missing. Most charters focused on catching fish, but very few focused on how people—especially kids and families—experienced the trip. That's where I chose to be different. For over 20 years, I've specialized in helping families and first-timers feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely enjoy their time on the water. It's been more than a career—it's been a way to help create lasting memories for the next generation of anglers.
