Half Day Trip on May 7, 2025
CPT Cole led us on an awesome half-day trip with our 3 children. He made sure there was a variety of fun fishing for everyone. He is knowledgeable, efficient, timely, professional, and has great interpersonal skills. He was patient with our young kids too. The boat was clean and in tip top shape and ready when we arrived. We had no trouble preparing for the trip as he communicated well with us in advance. We caught several large keepers(king mackerel), and some smaller snapper & sea bass. It was the perfect mix for our family. Truly an experience of a lifetime for us. We plan to be back!

The best fishing experience!
Full Day Trip on April 22, 2025
Captain Cole is amazing! He is knowledgeable, his skills are on point, his boat is super fast, clean, and comfortable. If anyone out there is looking to spend a great day on the water, don’t wait - call Cole! We caught so many different kinds of fish. Captain Cole was able to answer every question we had. He gave us tips and techniques to catch more fish. We’ve done other trips in the past with different charter companies. This one is very reasonably priced. And for how fast the boat is this is one of the most affordable options. Thank you Captain Cole for taking is right to the best fishing spots in the area. We really enjoyed the fishing trip.

Half Day Trip on November 27, 2024
Our family fished with Captain Cole for a half day the day before Thanksgiving for our oldest son’s 21st Birthday (our kids ranging from 21-12). He was a wonderful Captain with an exceptional attitude and great personality. He taught us how to use the fishing gear and had everyone engaged in the fishing. His boat and equipment is in excellent shape. We met him at 7am and he took us offshore 13-15 miles where we started to set rods. We had caught our first fish within 3 minutes and caught our limit by 11:15. This experience with Captain Cole far exceeded our expectations for our first offshore fishing and we will be setting up a full day with him soon.

3/4 Day Trip on May 2, 2025
Cole made every effort to get us offshore. Sea's were fairly rugged. We stopped have way out and picked up a bunch of bait. With a storm brewing on the horizon, we made the attempt to venture off. Cole was watching the weather constantly and for good reason. He stopped and made the decision to call it off for safety. Hard thing to do and it was a good decision. Hoping to fish with him again soon.

3/4 Day Trip on January 3, 2025
Fishing with Captain Cole was great! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, explained what he was doing and what he looked for, and we caught some nice fish! He was very easy to get a hold of leading up to the trip and communicated proactively. My wife and I had a great time fishing with him and would definitely recommend!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Ever since I was a young boy I have been fascinated by the pursuit of fish of all kinds. I was fortunate to have a father that has always had the same passion for fishing that I have, and he has passed on a wealth of knowledge that I look forward to passing on to other young anglers. Growing up in the space coast area, I have always had a plethora of opportunities to fish. Whether it be riding my bike to nearby ponds, having my parents drop me off with my skiff in the lagoon, fishing offshore for pelagic fish with my father, or fishing at the Sebastian Inlet with my friends, I would capitalize on any opportunity I had to fish. I have spent much of my childhood learning about the diverse fishery the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River Lagoon have to offer. As my skills and knowledge about the sport grew, I realized that I would love to pass on my knowledge to others, and show them the amazing inshore fishery the Space Coast has to offer.
