Local species include Spotted Seatrout, Bull Shark, Snook, Speckled Trout, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Black Drum, Redfish, Tarpon, and more with any luck. On these trips, it's common to use light or heavy tackle. Capt. Joseph also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with RocketCity Charters.

Please note that fishing locations & times vary depending on the weather & latest catch reports.

Offering both Nearshore & or Inshore fishing trips, Captain will determine what style is best giving weather and latest catch reports!

Tarpon (shark) fishing in space
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on June 20, 20263 adults

Some well managed pre-charter negotiations were necessary due to storms. Capt Joseph put us on large snook and red fish up to 33". After a brief but typical mid pm storm, we went tarpon fishing, and we managed to catch a juvenile hammerhead shark, which was a great consolation. Capt Joseph was great throughout our 4 hr charter and certainly knows the Cape Canaveral area. The local bird life was amazing, including Osprey, Frigate birds, Pelicans, Ibis, and others. We didn't catch Tarpon, but we saw them feeding, and the Hammerhead was a good consolation.

Great experience!
Special 3 hour trip for Alexis Davis on February 19, 20262 adults

I booked this trip for my fiancée 30th birthday while we were in FL. Captain Joseph was great to fish with, giving great education, tips and tricks! When I originally booked this trip I booked the wrong date and immediately had to cancel. Captain Joseph wrote through fishfinder to open a day up that worked for us and our schedule while we were there visiting! As we departed from the dock my other half said "I want to do this again and I want to go through him (Captian Joseph)". We have already started planning our next trip to FL.

3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore - 2:00 PM on February 16, 20262 adults

spent an afternoon with CaptJoe. had a good time, didn’t kill them that day, but conditions were far from perfect. He knows where the fish will be, what type and size they will be, and when they’ll be there. he really knows the area. What i have to mention is his positive outlook on everything. fish won’t co-operate, he’ll try something else or somewhere else. He extended our trip by 45 minutes because he wanted to have us try another spot. Which turned out a great idea. He’s patient with newbies, or clients with not much experience with the type of fishing or different tackle. I would book with him anytime.

Excellent Charter
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on February 14, 20261 adult1 child

Captian Joseph was phenomenal. He put us on fish right away. He knows his this area well because its his backyard. Great personality, great conversation, excellent fishing even in a slow time of the year. This was my first experience in Cocoa Beach but I’m telling you it doesn’t get any better. Good equipment, knowledgeable captain, good conversation, big fish… you really cant ask for more. I’ll be booking with him next time I’m here, no questions about it.

We caught FISH!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on June 15, 20261 adult1 child

Captain Joseph knew right where to go to catch bait fish and caught all we needed in one throw of his net! Then we were out fishing for snook in minutes. My grandson caught the first one in no time thanks to the Captain's knowledge. It was a 15-20 pounder and he was in Heaven! We continued to catch fish and ended our day with a whopping 35 pound crevalle jack that took about 25 minutes to get into the boat. Great time, highly recommend!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Hello there, I'm Captain Joseph Sanchez! I've spent my entire life here in Brevard County, specializing in inshore fishing. My journey began at a young age when I accompanied my grandfather on hunting trips and fished during the off-season. Fishing naturally captured my attention, and by the age of 10, I was completely hooked! I set aside the rifle and embraced the fishing rod. As a child, whenever people asked me what I wanted to do in life, my answer remained unchanged: 'To become a professional fisherman.' As I grew older, my passion for fishing only intensified. Taking friends and family out to catch fish allowed me to experience the immense satisfaction and joy it brought. Becoming a captain and sharing these memorable experiences with others truly resonates with my heart. My dedication to fishing goes beyond measure. If I'm not on the water, you'll find me on the phone discussing fishing, watching videos online, or analyzing weather patterns. Each trip that is booked is a source of immense gratitude for me. Despite the challenges of the job, your support enables me to pursue my genuine dream. So let's go out there and catch some fish together!
