    Outstanding in every way

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore on March 30, 2024 • 3 adults

    Our original trip had to be modified due to high waves and Captain George provided ample information so we could change without penalty. Although we had been looking forward to the Gulf Stream, Captain Lance put us on some FANTASTIC spots inshore to catch pompanos, Spanish mackerel, mangrove snappers, jacks, ladyfish, grouper, and I even caught a blue crab with a lure! Professional, knowledgeable, super friendly and awesome company. We will most definitely be doing this again!

    4hr trip with Captain Lance

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 14, 2023 • 4 adults

    Captain Lance was AMAZING. Charted a 4 hr trip starting at 7am. Captain was prompt and on time. Parking and boat ramp was semi private and safe. All four of us caught our limit of Mangrove Snapper as well some bait fish and many other fish that were undersize. Trip was nonstop action. Even ripping out to ocean and cruising up river was enjoyable. Captain even filleted our fish and made the whole trip special. Will book again. Thank you for the great experience Captain Lantz.

    6hr Offshore

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 16, 2023 • 6 adults

    We had a group of six and Capt Lance made sure we each had a line in the water at all times. He was extremely knowledgeable and was a great character to be around. While out we caught a few keepers and even ended up with a 7ft or so shark. After we finished up he cleaned the fish for us to take and get cooked up. He even gave us some recommendations for surf fishing which we will definitely take advantage of. In short this trip is a must. Definitely don’t pass it up.

    Had a great trip with Captain Lance this morning. He got us on fish right away and all four of us caught multiple fish. Took our catch to The Beacon Restaurant where Captain George’s family cooked it up. Was a great experience overall and would highly recommend Poseidon Fishing Charters.

Born and raised here in New Smyrna Beach, I grew up fishing the local waters with my dad and older brother. When I wasn't working at my family's beachside restaurant, I'd spend all my free time on the water with friends and learned how to target and catch each species of fish that are native to this area. After years of fishing for fun, I started mating on a private fishing charter boat learning the ins and outs on how to troll offshore. Shortly after, I purchased my dream boat, the Poseidon, and decided to turn my passion and love for fishing into a career – something I've dreamed of doing my entire life. In August 2019, I obtained my captain's license from the School of Adams Marines Seminars.
