At Slick Calm Charters, we believe every trip should be more than just a day on the water — it should be an unforgettable experience. Based in the heart of New Smyrna Beach, our charters are designed for all ages and experience levels, offering a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for families, friends, and serious anglers alike. Whether you're casting your first line or chasing your next personal best, our goal is to make every moment on the water count.

Our trips are run aboard a Pathfinder 2300 HPS, one of the most versatile and comfortable boats in its class. With a smooth, dry ride and plenty of seating, it's the perfect platform for exploring the inshore and nearshore waters around New Smyrna Beach, Ponce Inlet, and Mosquito Lagoon. From sunrise cruises to family adventures surrounded by dolphins and manatees, every detail is designed with your comfort in mind.

When it comes to fishing, we take pride in using only top quality gear Shimano reels and Crowder rods to ensure every hookup feels as smooth and powerful as it should. We specialize in targeting trophy inshore species like snook, redfish, and tarpon, providing thrilling battles and lifelong memories for every angler aboard. Whether you're after a bucket list catch or a laid back day exploring Florida's scenic waterways, Slick Calm Charters delivers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.

*** please do not use spray sunscreen durring your charter as its bad for the fishing gear and boat. Cream or stick sunscreens are perfered.

Captin Brian was great and keep him engaged with everthing and answered all 200 questions he had….he was able to get us on some fish even on a day when others werent catching…. would highly reccomemd for future trips….

Best trip we’ve been on, one for the memories!

4 Hour INSHORE - AFTERNOON on April 23, 2026 • 2 adults

First time we ever went fishing out on the ocean, we caught several red snapper and lane snapper off shore and captain Brian took us inshore to catch some red drum. We both caught 40 inch red drum before we left and had a great time chatting and hanging out enjoying the beautiful weather. We were both super stoked for reeling in the biggest fish we’ve ever caught thanks to captain Brian! We also got to see some dolphins and sea turtles along the way. 10/10 recommend Slick Calm Charters for anyone trying to fish in the area :)

Awesome Fishing Experience

4 Hour INSHORE - AFTERNOON on May 11, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Brian was very knowledgeable about the area and the fish we were targeting. Even in tough weather, he was able to put us on the fish and give us a great night for our last day of vacation! He was able to put us on a big snook and lots of trout! Beyond the fishing, the scenery, dolphins, and manatees are breathtaking!

i am an experienced North East fisherman trying to figure out this area’s techniques. i learned more about FL fishing today with Captain Brian than what was expected. His efforts to not only find fish, but.use differnet methods to catch them was absolutely incredible. We caught multiple species over the coursr of our trip and will definitely book him every time I come here. A real nice guy and family man!
