Kraken Down Charters - 3 Boats Up To 33'
Please visit the Kraken Down Charters website and call/email for more information.
Join Kraken Down Charters for an unforgettable offshore fishing experience along Florida’s Treasure and Space Coasts. We fish the waters off Sebastian, Melbourne, and Vero Beach, offering several trip options that can be tailored to your preferred style of fishing. Whether you’re introducing young children to their first offshore adventure or chasing the trophy fish of a lifetime, our experienced captains will create a trip that fits your group.
Before choosing a fishing charter, you should consider three things that can make or break your trip: the size, quality, and condition of the boats, the experience and local knowledge of the captains and crew, and most importantly, recent catches. Check the charter’s social media to see what they’re actually catching right now—not what they caught years ago. If there are no good pictures or descriptions of the boat you’ll be fishing on, there’s a reason.
Our fleet includes multiple vessels designed to accommodate anglers of all experience levels. Trips depart from the marina behind Mulligan’s Beach House in Sebastian, Florida. Most offshore trips begin approximately 20 miles from shore and venture farther depending on the trip length, target species, and conditions.
Depending on the season and trip selected, anglers may target grouper, snapper, mahi-mahi, wahoo, kingfish, sailfish, cobia, amberjack, tilefish, and even yellowfin tuna. Follow Kraken Down Charters on Facebook and Instagram for recent trip reports.
We offer two types of vessels: a 33-foot walkaround sportfishing boat and two 29-foot center consoles. Specs can be found under the vessel information and also on our website.
We look forward to fishing with you!

Sheri Oliver5.0VerifiedExcellent Day Offshore with a Hard-Working Crew
Offshore 6 Hour Charter - 29' CC on October 22, 2025 • 5 adultsWe had an amazing 6 hour am offshore trip with Kracken Charters! The captain and his mate worked hard to keep us on the fish and were quick to move when the bite slowed. Everyone had a great time, and we ended up with a beautiful mix of mangrove snapper, lane snapper, cobia, triggerfish, and other species. They even took the extra time to run the weedline in search of tripletail, which we really appreciated. The boat ran smoothly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it was clear both the captain and mate really knew their waters. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a productive and fun day on the ocean!
Erich Humbal5.0VerifiedBlue Water Day
Offshore 8 Hour Charter on November 4, 2025 • 4 adultsWe went blue water bottom fishing this past Sunday. The guide John was amazing. He had us on fish all day to the point I think the 4 of us tired him out. At one point we had 4 fish on, and we did catch an amazing Goliath grouper to heavy to lift in to the boat. We also caught lots of red snapper and some trigger fish. I would highly recommend kracking down charters. They did what they said they would. Thanks Mike and John.

6 Hour Trip – Inshore on April 28, 2025 • 6 adultsA charter is more than just “trying to catch fish”. Captain Mike was incredible. He worked so hard to give us amble opportunity to catch stellar snook - and he did it ! It was so much fun learning the art. Our boat had experienced anglers who got the good fights and first timers got to experience the joy. This was top notch 10/10.
