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!

Some people are just born with the fishing bug. If you know – you know. From 5 years old to now, there's no place I would rather be than on the water. I have been fishing these waters for 25+ years. My goal for you is to make positive memories that will last a lifetime. Always professional, and courteous.
