Sitting just east of Orlando you can get yourself involved in some of the best sea fishing in Orlando. Captain Pat Maresca runs charter fishing in both the nearshore and offshore waters here, one of the best sport fishing grounds in the country.

Captain Pat will take you out on his new 36’ Delta sport fishing boat which is a proven fishing machine. It’s powered by twin 400 HP Detroit engines taking you to the grounds quickly with a comfortable and safe ride. This fully rigged Delta will put you on the fish with brand new electronics and top-of-the-line safety gear. Although it’s a serious fishing boat its a comfortable one too. It features a galley, a toilet and a refrigerator to keep your drinks cool on those hot Florida days.

Using both light and heavy tackle Captain Pat uses techniques such as trolling, spinning, jigging, and handling to help you get the fish that you’re after. You can expect to reel in the likes of Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Kingfish, Sailfish, and Black Seabass when you’re out with Pat. Whatever your target fish is here, you’re bound to get involved in some great action!

Pat’s license has you covered so you can fish with him to your heart’s content. Pat loves to eat his fish almost as much as he loves to catch them so he’ll clean your fish for you so you don’t find yourself stuck and wondering what to do with your catches when you’re home. Water is provided so take along something sweeter if you prefer it as well as some snacks to stop your stomach rumbling when you’re far from shore. Also, don’t forget sunscreen and shades!

Whether your seasoned pro or you’re heading out with the family, you’ve got yourself in a great and safe pair of hands with Captain Pat as he allows you to experience the thrill of true Florida fishing.
