Royal Sea Excursions
Veteran owned
+32Make an adventure out of your next trip to Hernando Beach and go fishing with Royal Sea Excursions. With Captain Mace at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Master Captain Mace is a Marine Corps infantry combat Veteran of the Iraq War. Upon his return home, he furthered his passion for public service in civilian life, working EMS responding to 911 calls, furthering his call to save lives. Have peace of mind when you're on the water!
Red Snapper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Hogfish, Cobia, Amberjack, Tiger Shark, Yellowtail Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Mace also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.
Your day begins aboard a refit 30 foot Pro-Line Grand Sport. Recently repowered with new twin Mercury 300 hp Verados that make the ride so smooth and comfortable!
Live bait is available. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), 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 try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
Your fishing trip with Royal Sea Excursions is just a click away!

Best family day ever! Macen and Steve were charismatic, helpful and very knowledgeable. We caught over 80 fish and had perfectly filleted fish for dinner. Would do this again!

Captain Mace was great. Went out to the middle grounds and limited out. First mate Bob was great as well. Both are very personable and knowledgeable.

Mace did a great job taking my family to where the fish were hitting. We had rough seas at first and Mace took us to calmer waters to ensure we had a good time. I am looking forward to our next trip with Mace!

If there’s a better boat, I want to see it. The boat was awesome. Brand new 35 foot catamaran that just glided over the water. Captain Mace was very knowledgeable and took us right to the fish. Highly recommend.
