Come experience an enjoyable day on the water with Lyons Charters.
With Captain Mark at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Sea trout, White Grunts, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Gag Grouper, Hogfish, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Ladyfish, Little Tunny (False Albacore), Pompano, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Sharks, and more –  For these species, you're likely to troll, cast or bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.  Captain Mark will provide the appropriate equipment and friendly instruction to get you into the action.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard. USCG does not require children to wear a lifevest while underway on a 26' boat, of course one will be provided if requested. Captain Mark is always happy to encourage kids to learn to fish.

Feel free to bring a small cooler for all your favorite snacks and drinks. Hats, sunglasses and sunscreen are also recommended.

You'll find yourself aboard a 26' Wellcraft center console with space for 4 passengers. There's a porta-potty on board for your convenience. Captain Mark will provide rods and reels, lures, and bait appropriate to the target species..

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. You can't go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great captin
3 Hour Trip – Shark on April 5, 20264 adults

We had a great trip with Captain Mark. Although we got no sharks biting or caught he took the extra time and effort to take us to the grass flats so our sons could still catch a few sea trout and fish a little more. We saw a few dolphins and it was a beautiful day so our time on the water was nice. Captain Mark is very friendly and we enjoyed our time with him.
