Make some memories in New Smyrna Beach and go fishing with Snap Decision Charters. With Captain Chris at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
These waters are known for Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Great Barracuda, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Gag Grouper, Blacktip Shark, Amberjack, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself!
For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.
The fish caught are yours to keep, provided they’re within size and bag limits. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home to eat. Want to save your catch for later date? Ask your captain about our vacuum sealing and shipping options.
You’ll be casting lines from a 26’ Dusky with space for 4 passengers. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
Kids, age 7 and up, are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
A few items you’ll want to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Snap Decision Charters is just a click away.
Be sure to ask about our "Catch of the Day" T-shirt contest!

8 Hour Trip
Captain Chris took my wife and I out on 6-13-25. Right away he made us feel like family and very comfortable with him and on his boat. We were blessed to be on fish trollling throughout the day. He also knew the bottom spots to keep us reeling in fish during the heat of the day! We will be back fishing with Chris again and I highly recommend going out with him to anyone looking to catch a lot of fish while feeling at home!!

Going out with Captain Chris is one of the best charters I’ve been on. We caught so many fish that we asked to go in because we were exhausted. We caught a nice variety about 20-25 miles out. I liked that we bottom fished, trolled, and drift fished giving a good chance at different species. I’d recommend Chris any day.

Captain Chris was punctual, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He took care of everything for my family to enjoy their trip. His boat, motors and fishing equipment was of the finest quality - the kind you’d get for yourself if you had the money. I’ve been on numerous other charters and Chris’s is significantly better than the others. Good news: my family caught several barracuda, grunts and snapper. Better news: I caught a 6 foot sandbar shark on 30lb test line. Bad news: that shark caught me for an hour and a half. My back and shoulders will feel it for days. But not nearly as long as the memory will bring a smile to my face.
