Zookeeper Charters 

Book your next trip with Zookeeper Charters and find out what makes the fishing in Melbourne Beach so unique.

Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Snook, Red Snapper, Amberjack, Red Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Pompano, Tripletail, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Tilefish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Lane Snapper, Cobia, Gray Triggerfish, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year.

During the trip you might be 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 those of you who are more adventurous, spearfishing is also available.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea to keep up those energy levels!

You'll be fishing aboard a Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. 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! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't leave home without bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Zookeeper Charters!
