Make an adventure out of your next trip in Sebastian and go fishing with The Mayor Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Bruce, so you'll benefit from their local experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Skipjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, and whatever else takes the bait. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You'll be casting lines from a 28' Stamas cuddy cabin that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with The Mayor Charters.

    Experience and instinct matter, Captain Bruce has both!

    Half Day Trip on August 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Bruce had the instincts and experience to get us on fish and wow did we catch fish. His personality is alot of fun and laid back. He really took the time to make sure we had fun and caught fish. We will be using him again the next time we are in town!

    Captain Bruce was awesome!

    3/4 Day Trip on August 7, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Bruce curated an incredible trip. Offshore/inshore no fish were safe. Manatees and manta rays came to watch. Drawn in by our clear domination of the sea. Experienced guide. Will be the only guide we fish with again when in Vero Beach.

    Captain Bruce was great! His instincts were spot on! We caught many fish. It was very hot. Having a cabin with a roof was an awesome amenity. He was very accommodating to our needs and flexible. I would highly recommend Captain Bruce.

    Amazing captain on a roomy boat

    Half Day Trip on June 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    The trip was great! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute of our trip. The captain was great and the boat had a covered sitting area which was amazing as that Florida sun was killer on our vacation. I would recommend Bruce to anyone

Great time had by all
Half Day Trip on September 16, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Bruce did a great job of getting us on fish and being patient with the members or our party that are newer to fishing. Later in the day the fishing slowed down and he worked hard to keep the bite going all the while keeping everyone engaged with storys about the area.
