Makai Charters offers inshore and offshore fishing trips from the Indian River, Delaware. Join Captain Lawrence Coyle and his crew in the new season of adventures. Their goal is to provide a first-class experience allowing their guests to be as hands-on or hands-off as you'd like. This is the perfect opportunity to learn directly from professionals and advance your fishing skill.

Hop aboard a 2022 Sportsman 282 TE that fits up to 4 guests. She's equipped with top-of-the-line Garmin navigational electronics and powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha outboards. This center console can adjust to any fishing trip you take, be it a slow day inshore or an adrenaline-high offshore quest. With a private toilet, a live bait tank, a cooler, and safety equipment, you've got everything you'll need for the day out. She is equipped with a Sea Keeper stabilizer to make your day on the water more enjoyable.

Inshore trips will take you bottom fishing for Flounder, Croaker, Bluefish, and Seabass, while long offshore adventure takes you after fast, pelagic species, such as Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Mako Shark. It's easier if you have some experience for an offshore trip but you can have a successful day even as a complete novice. The crew will assist every step of the way, so pay attention, and steal any trick that you can from them.

Feel free to bring your favorite tackle along if you'd like but Makai will provide state-of-the-art tackle and gear. Your fishing license is also covered, so you only need to bring snacks, drinks, and sunscreen. Kids are welcome as well, so you can easily turn this day into a family bonding adventure.

Great crew and successful trip.
4 – Hour Inshore 0 – 15 miles on July 18, 20263 adults

We caught flounder and sea bass to keep and it tasted great! My buddy’s teenage son left with a big grin and lots of stories to tell after he reeled in a shark. We all had a great time.

Not ideal tide conditions, but great trip!
4 – Hour Inshore 0 – 15 miles - 1:00 PM on August 12, 20253 adults1 child

This was our family’s first ocean fishing experience. The captain put us onto fish, explained the process, and was encouraging to my children. In the end, we were able to catch enough fish for a very delicious dinner, and my son even got to fight a shark (but did not land it before it broke free). I would highly recommend this captain and crew, and am looking forward to next year so we can try it again.
