Offshore Fishing US Air Force Captain & Mate
Offshore Fishing US Air Force Captain & Mate
One of the only charters to provide a mate. Mate is there to meet all your needs. Arts Adventures invites you to book a full or half day fishing charter out of Port Canaveral, Florida. Located at Cape Marina, in scenic Port Canaveral, just 45 minutes from Orlando and Disney, with the world-famous Cocoa Beach only minutes away, this charter’s position is super convenient.
Captain Arthur Boys can take you to the offshore waters where you can catch Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, Cobia, Snapper, Grouper, Seabass, King Mackerel, Amberjack, sharks, and more. Arthur specializes in trolling and bottom fishing, with trolling targeting Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and King Mackerel. On the bottom, you’ll target Grouper, Snapper, Amberjack, Seabass, Triggerfish, Cobia, and more. It’s non-stop action where most of the best-eating fish hang out.
Fishing is done aboard one of the nicest, safest, and most comfortable fishing yachts at Port Canaveral with fully inspected state-of-the-art safety equipment and amenities. The 34’ Michael Fitz is powered by twin 330 HP 6BTA 5.9 Cummins engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots.
The vessel can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests who will enjoy knowing there is a toilet on board, a flybridge, a livewell, and an ice-box. The onboard GPS and fishfinder will help you locate the most productive spots, and the outriggers will help you when trolling. You will have all the fishing gear provided, as well as a fishing license, a first mate, and a fish processing service.
Captain Art is a 30-year Air Force pararescueman trained by the best in all areas of boating and water operations. He guarantees safety first in all aspects of your deep sea fishing experience. So come and join him for the fishing adventure of a lifetime!

Exactly what we were hoping for
Captain Art communicated well leading up to the trip. When he found out that we didn’t have a full group, he offered to fill open spots with folks that were willing to pay their way.(we didn’t take him up on it, but that was super cool). As we were heading out on a holiday weekend, he asked that we go earlier than planned to avoid the crazy. Also super cool. The good service didn’t stop with pre-trip communication. First, we were asked if we wanted to target any specific species. Art demonstrated solid knowledge of the various migratory patterns, habits and habitats of the fish. The mate, Travis, was also pretty awesome. Good natured, knowledgeable and unafraid to work. Travis also knew a great deal about the fish we were after. Once we dropped lines in, the professionalism continued. If we didn’t see reasonably quick results, Art didn’t play. He would bounce to another promising spot, and if we found light activity or sharky waters, he’d move again. He kept an eye on what the other captains were reporting to ensure we were always in the most optimal position we could be in. All in all, if you’re fishing out of Port Canaveral and you can get Captain Art and Travis, get them. Thank you for making our trip great, guys.

Full day trip with Capt Art
Everything worked out great for a trip of a lifetime. Capt Art and his deck mate, Travis, were outstanding! The weather was great with calm seas and low winds. Capt Art put us on all kinds of fish when other boats were reporting very little to no catches. I would highly recommend an outing with Arts Adventures. I really think having a deck hand was way to go as Travis was extremely helpful with everything while the captain kept us right on the fish from the flying bridge.

The Perfect Trip with Arts Adventures
We could not be happier with our trip. Captain Art was on the ball keeping an eye on the weather before the trip and kept me updated the entire time. I'm grateful he puts his customers safety above making money, which is rare. We luckily had amazing weather. Captain Art and his first mate John made our experience one we will all remember for a lifetime. We went with a group of 6 and all of us caught at least 5 fish each. They were beyond patient with us! John was a master at keeping all of the lines from getting tangled and hauling in mutliple fish at a time. Not only did we catch a ton of fish but we saw some really cool things like leather back turtles, dolphins, flying fish, sharks and jelly fish. While John was baiting hooks and keeping the fish biting, he explained why they do what they do and actually taught us a lot while we were on the boat. I could not reccomend them more. It can be scary being that far away from shore but we all felt extremely safe with Art's experience. The boat was perfect too. It's a great size with a bathroom and plenty of shade. I can't wait to go again and will use Art's Adventures in the future. Thank you Captain Art and John!
