You’ll spend the day fishing from a 23’ Contender center console, powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine.

Capt. George offers both inshore and offshore trips and can take you fishing anywhere from the Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf Stream.

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.

Member since December 2019
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.
