If you're looking for a fun and productive day of fishing on the Space Coast, Port Fishing Charters might just be what the doctor ordered! With Capt. John, Troy or Andy will lead the way to some of the best fishing grounds around Cape Canaveral, there's a good chance you'll be coming home with a lot of fish and a story or two to tell.

Join your guide on his 22' Sea Pro, powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and enough room for up to 4 anglers to fish comfortably. The vessel sports reliable navigational electronics that will take you where the fish hides, a live bait well, and all the quality fishing gear you might need.

On your trip, you'll mostly use live bait, but if you've got experience with lures, your guide will have them ready for your convenience. In these prolific inshore and nearshore waters, there's an abundance of species that are both fun to catch and make for an excellent meal.

Depending on your preferences and how much time you've got on your hands, you can expect anything from Snook, Redfish, Snapper, Bluefish, Flounder, Pompano, and Tripletail. The more time you have on the water, the greater the opportunity to catch something you'll want to brag about to your fishing buddies.

Kids of all ages are always welcome to join the trip and Capt. John or Troy can actually take out 4 adults and have life jackets for everyone. But we can only take out up to 800lbs of total body weight per a trip on this bay boat. If you're going on a longer expedition, make sure to have plenty of snacks and drinks, and leave everything else in the captain's capable hands.

Hit the bountiful Cape Canaveral waters with Port Fishing Charters and come back to shore richer for one great fishing experience! The captains work hard to make your trip great. 20% tips are custom in this industry. Not mandatory but appreciated.

My Kids said best day of fishing EVER!
2 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM) on March 7, 20263 adults1 child

We had a blast with John! he was so accommodating and welcoming. we caught about 25 fish and they were big fighters! He taught my kids how to bait their own hooks with multiple live bait. We have done big charters before and this beats those hands down. My elderly father had a blast too he caught him a big fish and enjoyed watching the kids have so much fun! Definitely will be back!

Great trip!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore snapper (PM) on April 21, 20264 adults

We had a blast. John was great with keeping at eye on weather and communicating changes so we had a better trip which worked out great. My son (13) loves fishing and my daughter (16) was in it for a tan but left a fishing lover. We caughter a variety of fish. Would 100% recommend!

2 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM) on March 18, 20264 adults

Troy (captain) was great and seems like he could have put us on fish on any day regardless of weather. Super helpful the entire time. This was a fantastic experience.

I'm Captain John Walters owner and one of the captains. Third-generation fisherman on the Space Coast of Florida, and I've been fishing since the early '80s. For decades, endless hours have been spent fishing these waters. With this experience, I've won three Tripletail tournaments in a row and have also won a new boat. I've had great success in local Kingfish tournaments. I also specialize in fishing multiple species. My goal is to use my expertise and diverse approach to catch as many fish as possible to bring smiles to my clients. We try not to target any one species just whatever biting that day. So you can catch as many fish as possible. We throw mostly live shrimp around the jetties and docks in the port. This gives you a better chance of catching everything. So, book a trip, and one of us will put a smile on your face!
