    Excellent Full Day Trip!!!

    Full Day Trip on August 1, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Tim knows his stuff!!! Six of us went out for a full 9hour trip and all of us went home with enough fish to feed our families for a week! When we were done slamming the Kingfish we headed out to a different spot and were all over some monster snapper. The captain was great and accommodated whatever we were looking to do. We will 100% be booking again soon!

    Just what I needed

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Capt. Tim was awesome today. I know fishing is about luck. But sometimes, luck, opportunity, experience, and knowledge meet. That is where Capt. Tim took us today. My wife and I had a wonderful time today. We landed 7 fish and had 5 get away. Those 5 were just as exciting as the landed 7. Thank You Captain Tim and Happy Birthday!

    We had a great experience fishing with Robbie. He put us on the fish from the very first cast, and it was on, one after another. I highly recommend using him if you want excitement, a comfortable ride, and beautifully fileted fish. Thanks for an awesome trip!

    Great day of fishing withe the family. Highly recommended.

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on July 19, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Robert "Robbie" on the vessel Odyssey is a very nice laid back captan that knows his boat, where to find fish and how to treat people. This was a family outin with my daughter, grandson, my son and his bride. We met at the dock, gassed up and headed out on time. The boat is a custom boat set up for charter, single diesel cummings a bit rough around the edges but like the mellinnum falcon she has it where it counts. Ssteady power, large ice boxes, high flow live well,great gear k(Star rods with Avet reels and some pen spin gearn) and most importantly very well stocked with up o date safty equipment including life jackets each with individual EPIRBs. We caught ample live bait with Capt. Throwing pancakes wit the net and wer off to the fishing grounds. We slow trolled and caught Kings a bonita then finished the day bottom fishing. Everyone on the boat caught fish and we had a great time. Captain Robbie went above and beyond, listening and delivering showng knowledge of the area kindness and determination. He was generous with the fishin tim and never seemd rushed to get back to port exactly as chartered. I'm sure he could of if it was asked but we enjoyed the trip and will be back. If you ant to fish the Cocoa beach area and aren't sure when to go for fishing contact him with your targeted species and he'll tell tou when to come or tell you what's biting now.

    Robert put us on fish, better than a day at a theme park(confirmed by kids:))

    Full Day Trip (AM) on April 1, 2024 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Had a great day on the water! Robert has great fishing knowledge and it’s evident as he has a knack for looking out and finding fish. While we went further out than anticipated, you’ve got to go where the fish are to catch them! We spent our day trolling for Mahi and the best part was going from the moments of silence to pure chaos, when 1, 2, 3 or 4 fish are hooked at same time. Kids had a great time! Robert is clearly passionate about making the trips fun, he loves to fish, and we were able to sight see and catch glimpses of other wildlife along the way. Would definitely book again! And I have my kids convinced, it beats a day at the theme parks. A ride is always the same every time you ride it…,every fishing experience you get will be unique! Live new experiences, and go fishing!
