Zookeeper Charters
If fishing in the Sebastian inlet area is on your bucket list, look no further than Zookeeper Charters.
Amberjack, Black Drum, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Snook, Red Snapper, Speckled Trout, and more can be found in these waters nearly year round. Sebastian Inlet is one of the most diverse fisheries in Florida!
Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Richard also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to mention the amount of kids going for life vests to be on board their size. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You'll find yourself aboard a 26' Avenger bay boat that can carry up to 8 passengers. It has outriggers, Cobia tower, trolling motor, duel power poles, jack plate, casting platform and the latest and greatest electronics from Garmin! More than everything you need for a productive day on the water.
Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.
10 dozen large Live shrimp is a 75$ upgrade depending on the species you want to target and it is recommended. Most trips start with catching live bait is caught with a cast net or sabiki.
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 forget to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hats. Bottled water and ice is provided. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but no hard liquor and only canned and plastic bottled drinks permitted.

We did a four hour fishing trip with Captain Richard out of Sebastian Inlet and let me say it's been our best experience to date! Capt Richard is a native to the area with detail knowledge on the area, fishing, and great with our two little fisherman. We caught so many varieties of fish and it was just straight up fun. He also supplied an abundance of drinks and just made us feel at ease. The boys have been talking about it all weekend with their friends. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back. Thank you!
it was an absolute pleasure to have you and your beautiful family on board Charleen. Can’t wait to see you guys again next baseball season when your back in town
My family and I have been on many charters, but none have stood out as much as our trip with zookeeper. Richard is one of the most knowledgeable and well versed captains we’ve experienced, he took us to untouched and uncrowded spots. We went with all ages and levels, Captain Richard was patient and ready to help at all times. If you have the opportunity to go on a trip with him do it, I know we can’t wait for our next time. Thank you so much!

Captain Richard was awesome, great day with the family, he taught the kids all about fish amd made it fun all around! Caught enough big fish to feed the entire family. would definitely do this with a famiky and kids again!
