Cryptide Fishing Charters

Enjoy a safe and fun fishing experience with Cryptide Fishing Charters. The charter is owned and operated by USCG certified Captain Travis, who has the knowledge and experience to organize your dream day out on the water and catch the great species Florida has to offer.

Capt. Travis specializes in inshore and nearshore fishing. He loves and practices all kinds of techniques but his true passion is inshore fly fishing. This is considered to be an advanced fishing technique, but your captain can get you on a fly rod quickly. You’ll feel comfortable in no time and be able to target the Silver King - Tarpon!

You’ll be fishing on a 23’ Shearwater that accommodates up to 4 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 225 HP Yamaha engine and features modern navigational electronics. She’s equipment with a live bait tank and outriggers for trolling. In case you want to take a break from fishing and jump into the crystal clear water, the captain will provide you with snorkeling gear.

Besides Tarpon there are all kinds of fish you can target in these waters, such as Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Shark, and more. Try out different techniques and see which one works best for you.

The captain covers your fishing equipment and licenses. You only need to pack your sun protection, snacks, and drinks.

Grew up fishing my whole life down south fishing Flamingo, Biscayne Bay, and all of South Florida. After High school, I enlisted in The US Navy, after went to college and went on to work in the asset maintenance industry. Then finally decided to leave my six-figure job and pursue my passions and share It with others.
