Fin-N-Juice is a family-friendly fishing charter based out of Melbourne, Florida. Join him today and spend a fun day exploring this attractive fishing destination on the Indian River, where he will introduce you to different fish species and the diverse ecosystem of this area.

Your journey will start on a restored 21’ Kencraft center console that can sit up to 4 guests. It runs on a 115 HP Yamaha engine with a maximum cruising speed of 45 knots. It also uses quality GPS and fishfinder navigation technology.

You’ll have the opportunity to catch a number of species on your trip, including Redfish, Sharks, Snapper, and Tarpon. You and the captain can use light tackle and will catch fish by bottom and fly fishing, which the captain specializes in. You’re allowed to keep all your catch or, if you prefer, to release it back to the water. Being a family-friendly charter, Fin-N-Juice encourages you to bring your kids along so you can have a wonderful family outing.

You’re completely covered for everything you’ll need for the trip except for licenses, so just remember to pack them before you depart. Captain Owen will supply you with all the fishing gear, no matter if you are a beginner or a professional, and he’ll also clean and fillet your catch.

Captain Owen spent 2 winters stone crabbing in the Florida Keys. He learned lots of tips and tricks on local fish and how to find them in the waters!

Fin-N-Juice is waiting for you!

3 Hour Trip pm on March 26, 2025

Took my son and girlfriend on this fishing trip. We all three cough several different types of fish. The captain was very friendly and helpful the whole time, even put bait on our poles after every catch to help speed up the fishing process because of how many fish were biting. We scheduled this last minute and he was able to accommodate to us, was also able to see an alligator, manatee, and even a dolphin on our way to different fishing spots not counting all the different species of birds. Had lots of fun and was able to get some good pictures.

4 Hour Trip on February 12, 2025

We went on the 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Owen and had a wonderful time. He worked hard to help us not only catch fish but explain different techniques. If you have an opportunity, my husband and I would strongly recommend going out with this young man. You won’t be disappointed!

Fishing Tour in Biddeford, Maine

3 Hour Trip (AM) on August 19, 2024

I had the best early morning boating trip! Owen, our guide met us at the loading dock and had all his equipment prepared and ready to go. It was a misty morning at Camp Ellis and was so peaceful, with tons of birds around. Owen knew exactly where to take us for fishing and gave us great tips as beginners. We ended up catching some awesome fish, and his enthusiasm made the trip even better. I couldn’t be happier; 10 out of 10, would totally recommend!
