If you want to have a good time you can pick any boat on here, but if you want a great time pick us! 💥We will work with anyone who needs a different trip or time then what we offer, message the Captain anytime, easy going guy. Our boat rides dry and has 2 big decks to fish from. Biggest inshore boat in town, Big Als Inshore Charter Service has been fishing the Mosquito lagoon for over 40 years and they always know where the fish are biting. Captain Al has a slightly different technique than most of the guides in the area, using light line and live bait. On most days this pays off big time and he'll show you how.
You'll be fishing on an 25' Carolina Skiff that runs on a 175 HP Suzuki engine. It's a spacious vessel with enough room for 6 anglers to join and you can all fish at the same time. With a GPS and fishfinder electronics and a wireless trolling motor, you're all set for success.
You can choose between a half day and a full day trip, depending on how much time you want to spend on the water and what you want to target. Whatever you choose, it's a fun ride! Some of your targets for the day are Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Snook. Capt. Al is a live bait fisherman and the type of bait you'll use depends on the season.
You get to keep the catch after the trip and Capt. Al will clean it for you. Just ask for a restaurant recommendation and go straight there with the freshest fish fillets.
Your fishing license and equipment are fully covered. There's bottled water on the boat but feel free to bring other beverages and snacks of your choice. Kids are welcome to join as well.
The boat departs from River Breeze park in Oak Hill, George Kennedy Park in Edgewater, and New Smyrna Beach Causeway ramp.
Big Als Inshore Charter Service has never taken anyone who didn't want to go again. Book your trip and have some fun fishing.

This 3-hour fishing trip was supposed to be about relaxing, but the fish clearly didn’t get the memo. The kids were reeling them in nonstop, including a huge redfish, a puffer fish that looked permanently surprised, and several other species that apparently wanted to be part of the adventure. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, dolphins showed up to inspect our fishing skills, and manatees cruised by like they owned the place. The kids had a blast, the adults had a blast, and even the fish seemed to enjoy the attention. If you’re looking for a family fishing trip filled with action, wildlife, and enough fish stories to last until next vacation, this is it. Highly recommend!
Big Al was fantastic—exactly what you hope for on a family fishing trip. He was incredible with our kids, kept them engaged the entire time, and made sure everyone was having fun from start to finish. We had nonstop action and were catching fish the whole trip—probably around 10 each—which was perfect for keeping the kids excited. We caught a great variety including whiting, pinfish, and jacks, plus even a stingray and a blue crab, which the kids thought was awesome. On top of the fishing, we also saw manatees and jumping rays, which made the whole experience even more memorable. Big Al was also just really fun to be around—easy to talk to, entertaining, and clearly knows exactly what he’s doing out there. Highly recommend Big Al, especially for families with kids. We’d absolutely book with him again. Thanks Al, we will see you next year!
Captain was fantastic, he put us on the fish all day. I lost count of the amount of fish we caught, a minimum of 20. I think it was more like 30. No exaggeration. We had two shark strikes which were the highlight of the trip. Al knows his business, I couldn't imagine a better day out. I would definitely book again to fish these waters.
My family had an awesome experience. Big Al had interesting facts about the ar a to share with us. He also made sure we didn't miss any of the wild life around us. He stayed in touch with us before the trip. Highly recommend Big Al.
Big Al was great!! Put us on some fish right away and even caught a couple sharks…which was awesome!!! Big Al was very knowledgeable about the water and was very helpful and attentive to us on the boat that werent very experienced fishermen!!
Fishing with captain big Al was a great experience. We all caught several fishes, saw dolphins circling around us and at thr end even caught a shark! The captain had attention for all members of the family! Highly recommended !!

Awesome Experience. I was running late due to car issues and it was my son’s 14th birthday, so this trip had to happen! Big Al waited quite a while for us to arrive. Al is native to the area and was very knowlegable! Told great stories that had my kids engaged 6&14! Thank you Al I had to leave with the military the next day, so you made his birthday catching that shark 🦈
Took my 10yo boy and four of his friends out with Big Al. He was fantastic with the kids and we caught over 25 fish in two hours. I will book again with Big Al and recommend him to anyone.
This was our fourth trip with Big Al and it was a great trip. We caught lots of fish. Several members of our party were very young and Big Al took care of them. They all caught a lot of fish.

Al was a pleasure to be around and he put us on a variety of fish, 9 species in all. Would have loved to catch the big one but were constantly pulling fish to the boat. good time had by all.
We booked a four-hour trip on Tuesday morning and Captain Big Al was there waiting for us on the boat early. We took off and started fishing in a few minutes, catching different fish from the first cast. Big Al took us several different spots and we had luck catching fish at all of them. We also so manatees and dolphins and had a great morning on the water. Big Al was the best!! If you are in New Smyrna Beach and looking for a fun fishing trip, we highly recommend that you book with Big Al.

Thank you all very much!
My wife, our three kids, and I along with my nefew went out as complete beginners, and Big Al made the whole trip so easy and fun. He worked his butt off the entire time — constantly making sure everyone had a baited hook and helping us cast our lines. He was patient, easy to talk to, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our kids asked a million questions and he answered every single one with a smile. The kids caught fish after fish — a great variety too — and they had an absolute blast. Big Al’s attention and energy made this a trip we’ll never forget. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a captain who truly takes care of his guests, especially families and first-timers!

That is awesome! Thank you all so much ✌️

Mary that is awesome! Thank you all very much!

Within minutes of leaving the dock we had our lines in the water. Al baited and casted for us as we caught about 6 different varieties of fish. Then the BIG SPLASH and it was “Fish On!”. It was a big stingray which Al estimated to be about 40lbs. This fish was a fig hter and breached the water multiple times trying to release the hook. After 30 minutes we decided it was time to let it go. Al manuvered his boat into perfect position giving is advise along the way. Excellent adventure that we will talk about for years. Thank you Al

Thank you very much guys!
