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!

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!
