Poseidon Fishing Charters

Join Poseidon Fishing Charters in New Smyrna Beach and get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Captain George Kotsonis has been fishing Florida’s Atlantic Coast his whole life and knows all the best spots to get you hooked up. He caters his trips to all ages and skill levels and welcomes you aboard to catch big fish and create lasting memories.

You’ll spend the day fishing from a 23’ Contender center console, powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine. This boat comes with state-of-the-art tackle, safety gear, outriggers, and a livewell to keep your bait fresh between catches. On board, you’ll find a private head, Bluetooth sound system, and ample space for relaxation. She accommodates up to 6 guests and everyone can fish at the same time.

Capt. George offers both inshore and offshore trips and can take you fishing anywhere from the Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf Stream. Inshore trips will see you fishing closer to shore, targeting the likes of Redfish, Black Drum, Snook, Tarpon, and Trout. On offshore trips, you’ll travel up 20–35 miles offshore in search of Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper, and more. Finally, Gulf Stream trips will have you targeting majestic Sailfish, delicious Mahi Mahi, as well as tough-fighting Wahoo and other pelagic species.

You’ll be supplied with top-of-the-line rods and reels, as well as lures and live bait. Fish cleaning and filleting services are also included and Capt. George’s family owns a beachside restaurant where you can take your catch to be cooked.

Your fishing licenses are covered as well, so just come straight to the dock, bring snacks and drinks, and be sure to pack some sun protection. Everything else will be taken care of so that you and your family can enjoy the experience of a lifetime!

Choose Poseidon Fishing Charters for your next adventure and get ready to explore Florida like never before. Pack your bags, invite the family, and start planning your adventure today.

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
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.
