Based out of Daytona Beach, Whataday Charters is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with Capt. Clarence and Capt. Joshua, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and drift fishing, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Spotted Seatrout, Snapper, Redfish, Sheepshead, Flounder, and Black Drum, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

You’ll be fishing from a 21’ Tidewater boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers at any single time. It also includes an ice box, and wireless trolling motor. All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. Capt. Clarence and Capt. Joshua runs trips with their first mates, who are there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

There will be complimentary drinks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I have been fishing since I was around 5 years old. I taught all my kids and multiple family members about the art of fishing. I feel it helped ground them and teach them patience and that in life things do not always go as planned, you have to make the best out of what the Lord gives you. Just want to share this experience with others.
