Join NSB Shark Hunters for a once-in-a-lifetime fishing adventure! Your guide will help you catch some real monsters from Cocoa Beach!

Get an adrenaline rush at night with excitement, you can meet your guide on the beach and take your chances with these sea legends. You will go out depending on the tide, but we can be pretty flexible.

If you want to have a relaxed, enjoyable experience, join them in the evening, and watch the moon rise on the horizon with a rod in your hands.

You don't have anything to worry about in advance, except for getting a valid Florida fishing license and bringing it with you, as well as the Shark fishing permit course, which is available for free from the FWC. All the equipment will be provided, including Rods, rigs, and bait.

Target different species of sharks, like Bull, Hammerhead, Blacktip, Thresher, and Tiger Shark. It's a very exciting challenge that you surely won't forget!

Feel free to bring your family along with you since you only pay if you're fishing, and spectating is free. Kids older than 13 will get the chance to try their luck in these waters, but anglers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Since you'll be shore fishing, there's no need for life vests. Your excursion will be catch, tag, and release. Your guide will provide chairs and water, but you should bring some snacks to stay refreshed throughout the experience.

If you're up for the challenge, book NSB Shark Hunters for an unforgettable night on these shark-rich waters!

    Great Guiding landing Mrs 1st Blacktip

    4 Hr Trip – Shark Hunt PM on September 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    The Mrs wanted to experience shark fishing and she was able to land a 4' Black Tip. Caleb and Jackie did a great job being informative and engaging not just about shark fishing but life in general. Both very professional young people! They are going places!

    Thank you

    4 Hr Trip – Shark Hunt PM on August 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    My sons and I went out with Caleb two times at Cocoa Beach and one time at New Smyrna Beach over the last two days. The shark fishing was poor, but Caleb and his helpers truly did their very best to create opportunities under difficult conditions. We did catch and conservation tag a juvenile Lemon Shark the first evening, which was a great experience. I recommend Caleb and his assistants without any reservation. It’s fishing and not catching. I would like to do it again. Thank you, Wade Derby Owner: Crosshair Consulting Ph: 406-439-8512 Web: www.crosshairconsulting.com

    Five hour shark hunt with Captain Dean

    5 Hour Shark Hunt Night Trip on May 29, 2022 • 2 adults

    We shark hunted with Captain Dean the day after memorial day. We had a beautiful evening on the beach, and a thoroughly all-around great experience Captain Dean was knowledgeable and informative… Answering any questions Dean was easy to talk to, and we had a lot of nice conversation and a lot of laughs! I felt like I had a new friend in the world by the end of the evening! Oh… And the bonus… We caught and released a beautiful 5 1/2’ black tip!

    4 Hr Trip – Shark Hunt PM on June 8, 2022 • 2 adults

    Took up to the very last minute but I was successful in catching a shark with these guys. Dean was my guide, and even though the shark catching was super slow this week, we still managed to reel in one. Thanks guys!!

    Educational and fun bonding experience for my son and I

    4 Hr Trip – Shark Hunt PM on August 8, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    My 14 year old and I had our first shark fishing experience with Caleb and had a blast! I was nervous due to my son not truly understanding that fishing is a long waiting game at times. He is used to a stocked pond. He was entertained for the entire trip chasing crabs and learning about the local sea life. We saw the poles double over a couple times and just couldnt get em to stay on. Would 100% recommend this trip and plan to do it again!

    4 Hr Trip – Shark Hunt PM on June 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    We did not get lucky enough to land any sharks it is fishing not catching but Caleb was very informative and personable. Sharks were not cooperative but I learned more about surf fishing from the beach, gear requirements, methods, and baits to try myself on my next trip to Florida.

    Caleb and Caleb gave us a great experience, even though we didn’t catch anything. They went above and beyond to give us that experience. Praise Jesus! Thank you, Caleb and the whole crew for blessing us. May the Lord Jesus bless you.
