Best foshing charter and captain
5 Hour Trip-River on October 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

This was an exceptional fishing chater. Most of all, Damon was one of the best charter captains I have been with. My nine-year-old daughter is an inexperienced angler, and Damon did everything to make her Fishing experience special. He was very educational and kept us informed on every aspect of our trip, he taught her how to cast the line, baited her line, and removed all the fish for her. He was totally hands-on. On top of all that, we caught plenty of fish! He knows where to go. 

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Speckled Trout

Captain Damon is the best!
4 Hour Trip – Beach (AM) on June 30, 2026 • 2 adults

This was our first time in the Cocoa area. We usually book a trip at each destination for us and our 2 girls 14/8. Capt Damon was the absolute right choice for us! He was tremendous with the girls, and made sure we all had a blast. We caught a ton of fish, saw dolphins and manatees literally all day, and had an overall wonderful day fishing with him. If you want someone who's patient, knows his water, and will do his very best to ensure you enjoy your trip- book with confidence. We are coming back to this area next year and will fish woth Damon again wothout hesitation. We appreciate you!

June fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – River (AM) on June 6, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

I can't express enough how happy my whole family was with our fishing experience! My husband and 2 boys (8 and 10 years old) are novice fishermen. Capt. Damon was patient and the equipment was easy to use and Damon had all the bait and would do everything for you as needed (bait, cast, etc). Damon was 100% fully knowledgeable of the area. He had all the inside scoop of where the best fishing spots were. We all caught several types of fish, even my youngest. I loved that the ride was easy and the bathrooms were close when we needed a break. We also saw all kinds of wild life including manatees, dolphins, rays and sea birds galore. Needless to say I highly recommend All Day Adventures and don't hesitate to book a trip with Damon!

Wonderful Experience
4 Hour Trip – Beach (AM) on June 4, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

My family cannot reccomend this charter enough. Within the first 30 minutes Captain Damon got the three of us hooked up on four different species of interesting species we've never seen before. He was great with our four year old son, keeping him engaged and interested throughout the charter, even getting him hooked up a Jack and a Trout! Captain Damon was very patient, informative, and knowledgeable about the area and the prime species to target for that day. By the time we we're about to wrap up, my wife hooked up on a gorgeous Red to end the trip. We try to find a charter to go on for every trip we take, next time we're in Florida we will 100% be setting sail with Captain Damon again.

Book this man now! he will not disappoint!!!
4 Hour Trip – Beach (PM) on March 27, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Damon is amazing! He knows all the spots and when the fish are biting and where! He was so great with my kids and really kept them both entertianed and excited the whole time! He had awesome bait and all different kinds for all the types of fish in certain areas! The kind of guy you want to chat and have a beer with while spending your day on the water! He truly makes you feel like family! He made sure we moved around to make the most of our day.. he didnt seem to be racing against the clock and truly just enjoyed being out there and making sure we had the best time! Not to mention we saw all types of wildlife along the way! sea turtles, dolphins, manatees, and schools of fish. We will definitely be using him anytime we are in the area and telling all our local friends!

    Damon is a fantastic skipper. Knows where to spend time, keeps things fun, and we caught a lot of fish. He knows the area so if youre new like we are, it’s good to get a lot of recommendations for places to eat, things to go do, and who people are.

    Cpt. Damon is very knowledgeable of the area and does his absolute best to put you on the fish. Excellent equipment as he runs Penn rods and reels. 10/10 would and will be booking again in the near future. If you want someone who actually cares about your catch instead of just taking your money hit Damon up, its well worth it.

    Damon was an incredible guide! He was very patient with us inexperienced fishers, and taught us many tricks. Clearly passionate for his craft and had a plethora of knowledge to share about the port and its history, fish and local wildlife, and showed us many unique sites and fishing spots. Great character and the fish caught on the hook were plenty!! Would absolutely book again.

    Captain Damon was very professional and we had an incredible day in the river, caught about 20-30 fish. He was great with my 6 year old son and took care of us the entire time. Had cold drinks for us and a ton of bait options, we went to 5-6 different spots. Would highly recommend!

    Took myself, my 16 yr old, and my 8 yr out. Even with it being super hot and not the best time of year Damon still mangaed to put us on fish and everyone had a great time, and the captain was great with my boys. I would definitely recommend going out with All Day Adventures.
