Shore fishing, without a boat!

Cocoa Beach Surf Fishing Charters is where the fun happens! Their experienced guides are ready to take you on a fishing trip, no matter how (in)experienced you are. These trips are completely customizable and you can adjust them to fit your needs.

The crew likes to say that the experience they offer is multigenerational. This is because oftentimes, they have 3 generations of families fishing together. Since all trips take place at the beach, there’s enough space for everyone, and you can easily engage in other activities too. The kids can play in the sand and the elders can lay back in the shade. Fish as much as you want.

Fishing without a boat also means that there’s no seasickness in sight. With both feet standing firmly on the soft sand, you can easily focus on the fish and mastering new techniques. The beaches also have wheelchair-accessible ramps, restrooms, and bars. You don’t have to worry if you forget to bring snacks or drinks, the shops are close.

Even though you won’t change your fishing spot, there’s a variety of fish you can catch from here. Go after Jack Crevalle, Black Drum, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, and a variety of Shark species.

Your guide will prepare all fishing equipment and bottled water. After the trip, he’ll clean your catch too.

Cocoa Beach Surf Fishing Charters lets you have a perfect day at the beach with the entire family or group of friends. Just choose your date and see you at the beach!

Member since November 2020
I became a fisherman because it’s been I my blood since birth. The earliest pictures of me are with a fishing rod in hand. Fortunate to grow up along the Space Coast of Florida where I spent every day of my youth fishing or surfing. I continued to excel in school while managing my full-time fishing lifestyle and graduated with a degree in financial investments. I put my best foot forward in the financial world for almost two years before I headed back to the ocean. Some people just aren’t built for an office life. So now I spend my fall through spring months fishing here along the Central East Coast of Florida. I transition to charter fishing in Ketchikan, Alaska for the summer months for halibut, salmon, and lingcod. I love both fisheries and areas of the world immensely and this is why I share my time accordingly. If you book a trip with me you're guaranteed to get a passionate and hardworking guide that excels in delivering lifetime experiences on the water.
