Captain Nick has guided thousands of successful charters and has all the local knowledge of the area. After Captain Nick graduated college, he decided to pursue his passion for fishing and sharing that experience with others. This charter outfit caters to anglers of all experience levels.

These waters are home to Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Tripletail, Cobia, Sheepshead, Tarpon, and more with any luck.

Families making a day of it 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 permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

Captain Nick runs a spacious 23’ Parker center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, tackle, and everything else needed for the day.  All you need to bring is beverages and snacks you would like for the day.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
