Spend the day with RocketCity Charters and get hooked on fishing in the Space Coast! Having logged many hours on waters, Captain Joseph is prepared to put you on fish.

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!

Capt. Joseph runs a 22ft Pathfinder Bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is included!

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!

Great Trip — Fast Action and Short Runs

3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on May 12, 2026 • 2 adults

Had an awesome trip with Capt. Joseph Sanchez and RocketCity Charters. We were on fish fast with short runs, which made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. My buddy landed a verified 40” snook on live croaker and we also caught a nice tripletail. Capt. Sanchez worked hard, stayed on the bait and fish, and kept things fun the entire time. Highly recommend if you want good action without spending half the trip running around.

2 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on December 13, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

Family of 3 came to visit Florida, from Colorado. 4+ days with only 1 completely planned. As a last minute venture we decided to go with RocketCity Charters for a short fishing expedition. Early morning, beautiful sunrise, cool temps, glass water, and amazing fishing! Joseph was a fantastic guide. Friendly, personable, professional, and highly knowledgeable. I know fishing is never guaranteed, but he put us in all the right spots, and we walked away with some awesome catches, big smiles and unforgettable memories. We had the absolute best time with him. We decided to keep a fish we caught and he gave us the excellent recommendation to take it to Rusty’s restaurant, in Port Canaveral, where they will cook it up for you! Another amazing experience! Joseph’s dedication and passion for fishing make him highly recommendable. Most happy with our experience!

Special 3 hour trip for Alexis Davis on February 19, 2026 • 2 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, 2026 • 2 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.

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.
