Canaveral Charter Adventures offers a wide variety of fishing opportunity all year round. If you don't think you can fit them into your busy vacation schedule, think again. Based only a short drive from Orlando and Disney, Captain Ryan is there to put you on top of the hottest bite.

Capt. Ryan is a true Floridian who has been an avid fisherman for over three decades. He has captained his own vessel on the east coast of Florida for over 10 years and has gained extensive knowledge of the Canaveral area. His experience allows him to know where the finest species reside even 30 miles offshore.

Canaveral Charter Adventures specializes in light and heavy tackle bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, fly fishing, jigging, popping, and drift fishing. You can expect to test your angling skills and battle Sailfish, Red Snapper, Grouper, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and Amberjack.

Capt. Ryan also offers fully customizable hourly charters so don't hesitate to contact him if you don't manage to find a package that suits you perfectly.

All of that magic happens aboard the 'No Regrets', a 33' Stuart Angler sport fisher. She is one of the most comfortable and fastest charter boats out of Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. The No Regrets features a full cabin with a private toilet, state-of-the-art Garmin electronics including GPS and a fishfinder, as well as outriggers, an ice-box, and a livewell loaded with bait when available. All aboard!

All trips come with the use of top of the line gear and tackle, lures, bait, licenses, and a complimentary fish cleaning service. All you have to do is bring your own drinks and snacks.

    Had A Great Day!

    Half Day Trip – Shark (AM) on July 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    Thank you Captain Ryan for an awesome fishing trip on a perfect day! My wife and I picked this boat for plenty of shade, and we weren't disappointed. We kept our first fish (my catch!), a king fish, and, on Ryan's recommendation, took it to Rusty's for dinner. Rusty's only cooks the fish, they don't prep. it, but Ryan had done a perfect job of filleting it at the dock. (hint: along with water and snacks, bring some 1 gallon ziplock bags for potential fillets)

    great experience

    4 Hour Trip – Shark (PM) on July 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught two sharks before seasickness got the best of us and we had to cut our trip short. Even though we couldn’t stay out as long as planned, the captain was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. He made the experience as enjoyable as possible, and we truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism. The negative review that i read was false in my opinion! Well worth the money!

    Great fishing experience

    Focused Mahi Trip on October 14, 2026 • 1 adult

    Captain Ryan went to locations that had fish. In any trip some fish where caught and some get off the hook. I ws able to catch multiple fish over eight hours, I lost count honestly. I did keep two and the rest was catch and release, including ( Frank the shark ) inside joke. The trip was amazing you couldn't be happier picking this fishing charter.

    Flying Fish

    Half Day Trip on April 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    Haha, now that i caught your attention with the “Flying Fish” headline. Captain Ryan with Canaveral Off Shore fishing was great! Not only did we have a good time catching fish, but he was patient and exited for the passengers on the boat to catch fish too. Also other than setting us up for fishing he also showed some compassion towards one that sadly got a little sea sick. I’d definitely fish on this boat again!

    Calm before the storm

    Half Day Trip on May 2, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Ryan took us out for a half day offshore trip. We had some tough conditions ahead of a cold front sweeping down from the north. We still had six fish on and landed three of them. It was easy to tell Captain Ryan had loads of experience and worked his tail off to make sure we had a good experience. Lunch at Rusty’s with the fresh catch was all the more sweeter watching the storm blow in.

    Great trip! If you want to go on a good fishing trip in the Cocoa Beach area then you need to go with Captain Ryan! He is the type of guy that you first meet and feel like you have been friends since you were both kids! He is very knowledgeable and experienced!! Definitely 10 stars!!

I'm a true Florida native and have been fishing my entire life. I literally grew up fishing out of Port Canaveral and know these waters well. I have also dove most of our wrecks and have firsthand knowledge of exactly what I am fishing. When I am not running charters I am commercial fishing. This allows me to stay on the water and stay current with where the fish are. One of my favorite things to do on charters is put kids on fish. We are very family friendly and will ensure everyone has a great time.
