If you're ready to try fishing in New Smyrna Beach, look no further than Island Drift Charters. With Captain Raymond at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Snook, Redfish, Black Drum, Cobia, Sheepshead, and more; with any luck, you'll hook into a few! During the trip, you might be spinning, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe trying something more specialized in this area.

Children are welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And you can't go wrong with snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. Raymond will bring you aboard a 22' Bull's Bay boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures and live bait.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, as long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Island Drift Charters.
