NSB Fishing Adventures
NSB Fishing Adventures
With Captain John, you will experience some of the most majestic sights only seen on the waterways of New Smyrna Beach. You may spot Dolphins, Sea Turtles, and even Manatees along the way.
Depending on the time of year, you could target Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead and whatever else is biting.
Capt. John welcomes you aboard a 22’ Key West Boats center console boat. Your captain will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures, live bait and water bottles.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Ask and your captain can tell you more.
Cash tips for your captain, who is also your first mate are appreciated.
Don’t forget to bring sunscreen (preferably non-spray), hats, snacks, drinks and sunglasses. Water bottles will be available for you. Alcohol and drugs are not allowed.
Book your trip with NSB Fishing Adventures and get ready to make memories!

6 Hour Offshore Trip (AM)
First fishing trip and it was amazing!
This was my first fishing trip. My son and I have always wanted to do this and Captain John did not disappoint. He made sure we knew exactly where to meet and what time. Even made sure the weather and the ocean was in good order before hand. Took us to all the best spots he knew and we were pulling up fish left and right. He helped me to bring in a 7-8 foot 300-400lbs Nurse shark when I was losing the fight. Can’t say enough about him and this charter. I would definitely recommend to anyone to use Captain John and every time we come down for vacation I will be booking with him without exception!

A perfect day bottom fishing for multiple dinners !
John, our captain, was outstanding. He immediately put us on snapper within a few casts. After the bite diminished some; he moved us to a non-community hole where we slayed keeper Sheepshead, , Porgies, and Lane Snapper. We lost a trophy Triggerfish there too. John did an awesome job of carefully filleting our keeps and took time to remove the small bones as well. After we ate the catches, there were zero bones. Amazing. Well worth every dollar spent. He knows his honey holes.

Great 1/2 day of fishing
We didn’t catch any keepers but it was still a great day! We caught a wide variety of fish and it was fun looking at each! We had a puffer fish blow up as we lifted it from water and that was just awesome! Captain John was excellent and worked extra hard to try and get us some keepers. It just wasn’t the day for it! Boat ride was great, sights were beautiful and we had fun catching! Great memories ! Will definitely go out with Captain John !

Went 14 miles offshore on this fishing charter and had an absolute blast. We were catching fish non-stop — the time seriously flew by because of how much action there was. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable and walked us through everything step-by-step. He made the whole experience feel effortless, even for those of us without much experience. Could not recommend this trip more — fun, productive, and really well-run. Would absolutely do it again!

Fantastic inshore charter with Capt. John
We had an excellent and fun fishing charter with Capt. John this past weekend! This was my kids' first "real" fishing experience, and I hadn't fished in over 30 years, so as beginners we needed a lot of help. Capt. John was extremely kind and patient, helping each of us with every step - from baiting hooks to casting to catching and releasing the fish we caught. Prior to the charter, I was hoping just to catch one fish per person - that would have been a great day. Well, even after a rough weather morning, when the rain cleared we caught almost 20 fish, completely exceeding my expectations!! Capt. John knows all the prime fishing spots. I can highly recommend Capt. John - a wonderful fishing experience with a fantastic captain!
