Christy PierceRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCan't wait to go again!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 29, 2026 • 3 adultsMy husband & I took our 18yr old son on an Offshore fishing charter with Jason and his father, on ShayJay Charters. They were excellent fisherman. They knew right where to take us so that my son could have an incredible experience. We caught 2 huge King Mackerel, 3 barracudas, 1 large Spade/Angel fish and 3 tiny Sea Bass. It was so much fun. We only kept the Mackerel and they cleaned and bagged them for us then told us of a restaurant down the street that perfectly cooked it up for us. We has such a great time. We would Highly Recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Sabrina Powers5.0VerifiedNewAccomodating and variety
4 Hour trip inshore/jetty on October 30, 2026 • 3 adultsDue to weather, our deep sea adventure got canceled and we were so bummed. Captain Jason was bummed for us, but he was able to accomodate to our schedule to provide an in shore experience that resulted in catching different species of fish. Would recommened to anyone looking for a trip that feels like your spending a day with your favorite uncle who owns a boat and helps you fish!
Beatriz Bonini5.0VerifiedMy son was happy so I was happy
3-Hour trip inshore/jetty - 7:00 AM on September 20, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a great fishing trip! My son really enjoyed the experience and caught several fish, including a medium-sized black drum—the biggest fish he has ever caught from the beach! He also caught a few other nice-sized fish. We had a wonderful time. The captain was very kind, attentive, and helpful. He also responded promptly to all my questions before I made the booking. We would definitely recommend this experience!
James WelchRepeat angler4.7VerifiedGreat Family of Three Day on the Water
3-Hour trip inshore/jetty - 7:00 AM on January 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childMy wife, eight year old son and I did a three hour guided trip with Jason. His father also tagged along and both were excellent guides. My son had a blast and wound up catching 15 fish from five different species. My wife and I both caught over ten fish each. We also saw the return of a Space X booster rocket, saw several dolphin swim by and even saw a sea turtle. It was a great trip and we would highly recommend Jason if you are considering a fishing trip to the Cape.
Louis Leonardo5.0VerifiedGreat fun trip! Highly Recommend.

4 Hour trip inshore/jetty on February 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childThe captain was knowledgeable and personable, boat was well equipped for all needs of four fishermen. We lucked out with nice weather, but it was the captain that out us on the fish. We would not hesitate to charter with him again if we return to Cocoa Beach.
