If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Red Alert Fishing Charters. Captain Kenny will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, and whatever else is biting.

Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your trip begins aboard a 23' Bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all of the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet at the boat ramp before or after your trip. Capt. Kenny will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures and live bait.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Red Alert Fishing Charters is just a click away.

Capt. Ken put us on the fish.
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 6, 20262 adults

First time on an inshore charter and very little knowledge of anything other than bridge or pier fishing I was skeptical because I clearly wasn’t versed on how to catch these species. Captain can really spent time teaching us how to fish debate fish the area with positive constructive criticism to keep us off of our bad habits. My son and I had an absolute blast caught multiple red fish, a few snook, black drum and Tarpon. His equipment is in great working order and his knowledge of the area we fished was incredible. We will definitely see you again Captain Ken thank you for the great day.

Amazing Fishing Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 13, 20262 adults

This fishing trip was definitely the highlight of our Florida trip. Captain Ken had us catching fish immediately in the morning and it kept up all day! He was very knowledgeable of the spots and was very patient explaining to us how to fish each spot. He was also super friendly and funny to be out on the boat with if the fish ever got slow! Overall the day was very successful and we accomplished our goal of catching a tarpon! 10 out of 10 recommend Captain Ken and Red Alert for anyone looking for an awesome fishing trip!

REEL memories, BIG fish, ever better CAPTAIN
3/4 Day Trip on May 15, 20262 adults

If I could give this charter 10 stars, I absolutely would! From start to finish this was hands down one of the BEST experiences we’ve ever had on the water. Captain Kenny was incredible — super friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire trip so much fun. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing time. The fishing was EPIC! We were catching fish nonstop and reeling in some seriously big ones. The adrenaline rush of fighting those fish was unforgettable, and Kenny made sure everyone got in on the action. He knew exactly where to go and kept the energy up the entire trip. Not only did we catch amazing fish, but the whole atmosphere was perfect — great vibes, lots of laughs, and memories we’ll be talking about for years. Whether you’re experienced or brand new to fishing, this is THE charter to book. Thank you Kenny for such an awesome day on the water. We’ll 1000% be back again! Lifetime friendship was made! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing trip!

Great trip! Caught dinner and large fish.
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 23, 20264 adults

The trip was great! The captain made sure to meet all our needs and wants. We caught a lot, brought home dinner, and caught large fish for fun too. We caught a good variety of fish; including a couple of large red drum, trout, one large black drum, small sheephead. The captain was great. He was instructive, patient, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone had at least one good catch. He made it a priority to make sure we had a good trip and wasn’t worried about time or anxious to get back. Our trip was his priority. I would definitely recommend this captain to do your trip as well.

Great family outing
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 8, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Kenny took our family of four out to many different spots including just hanging out at a sandbar when our kids were getting restless. We were not very experienced and he taught us the techniques and help get rods and baits setup, especially for the kids. We caught a few fish to take home for dinner and he let us stay out a little longer to try and catch some extra fish, we ended the trip with Kenny helping our 8 year old son catch a tarpon! Kenny was great with the kids and I personally learned a lot about how to fish in the intracoastal waterway.

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.

I've been a captain since 2002 and have worked on boats since I was 15. I have fished professionally in multiple states along the Eastern Seaboard and in Alaska. For the past 18 years, I've focused on fishing in the Banana and Indian River Lagoon system. Despite working as a crew boat, supply boat, and tugboat captain, my passion has always been coming home to fish whenever possible. Now, I've turned my passion into a full-time career.
