If you're ready to discover fishing in Port Canaveral, we've got you covered with Checkmate Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Nathan can tell you all about them.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Ladyfish, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Flounder, Tripletail, Pompano, and anything else that bites. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself live baiting, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together 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.

You'll be casting lines from a 22' Pathfinder center console that can carry up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Checkmate Charters is just a click away.
