Vulcan Charters, Inc.
Vulcan Charters, Inc.
Vulcan Charters, brings you action-packed offshore fishing from Ponce Inlet. The Vulcan is located at Lighthouse Marina, there is no shorter ride out the inlet, which means less time getting there and more time fishing.
Only a short drive from World Famous Daytona Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna and Ormond Beach.
Captain Cody started fishing these waters on his 5th birthday, from that moment on he has been studying on the water to become the fisherman he is today. Being trained by the original owner Capt. Rick, who still charters trips, and has 57 years of experience; he knows how to run a safe and fun charter.
Meeting at the Lighthouse Marina, you will be welcome aboard the 29ft Regulator center console, powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha four stroke engines, and cruises 20+ knots! A fast and comfortable vessel, matched with only a 5 minute ride out of the inlet. Lines will be wet in no time.
The Vulcan is equipped with downriggers, outriggers, and ample deck space for trolling. Underway, we target King Mackerel, Wahoo, Mahi-mahi, Sailfish, and Tuna; up to 50 miles at sea.
Reef and Wreck fishing, near shore all the way to the Gulf Stream. We will target Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, Triggerfish, Sharks and many other dinner dishes.
The Vulcan has enough dry space to store all belongings and cooler for food separate from the fish. We will clean, filet, and bag your catch at the end of the day. While you enjoy the clean amenities, views and ice cream from Lighthouse Ice Cream Parlor.
Kids over 8 years of age are welcome to join the adventure. Accommodating up to 6 anglers, but for the sake of comfort and proper fishing, Capt. Cody recommends groups of 4. The first mate will also accompany you on your trip, to help you have a safe and productive day. To honor his efforts, please do remember to include a 15% or more gratuity.
We look forward to fishing with you.

Great guy, great boat, great trip!
Captain Cody is fantastic! When the weather took out bottom fishing before our trip, he spoke with us and switched tactics to ensure we caught fish out on the reef. It was a birthday trip for my dad and it was first for us. Cody made sure it was a success. He got my son and nephew their first fish. My dad caught. He even lifted the “no fish” curse my brother has struggled under for years! He’s friendly, knows the area and knows his trade. We’ll absolutely fish with him again and highly recommend him.

8 Hour Trolling Trip
What a Fantastic Trip
Capt Cody was an awesome fishing guide. We had a party of six and his first mate was out. He worked hard with us. Cody was a professional and patient with my nine year old son. Our day started with a wonderful sunrise ride. We caught 2 barracudas and a bunch of Bonita. This fishing trip is the highlight of our vacation and I definitely will recommend Capt Cody. This is our 2nd trip with him and I will go back with him! What a fantastic and memorable day!

Awesome Family Fish Trip
Captain Cody was great, had a blast fishing with him. Great for family groups. His slip is right by the inlet which got us on the water fishing fast. He’s very knowledgeable and was awesome to chat with and exchange stories. Fishing was great, we got into some Mackerel and a huge Barracuda. Lots of filet's for some good meals to come. Highly recommend Vulcan Charters.

6 Hour Bottom Trip
Winter Fishing - Feb'25
Capt Cody ran solo with our party of 6 and handled all of us in awesome fashion. We booked the 6hr bottom trip and ended up about 25miles off shore for a great spot full of variety. Unfortunately red snapper was not on the table to keep because we caught a bunch of good sized one. A TON of little fish and two big sharks that put a hurting on the arms of the tough guys on board. He is in the closest docks to the channel, so there was very little time wasted putting through the inlet and maximum time out on the water. I'd LOVE to see what he can do in the summer with the knowledge and experience he has.

Wonderful Captain!
We booked the ocean reef fishing charter with Captain Cody and the day before he had to cancel because of 8 foot waves (we didn't blame him). I asked if he would be open to changing to an inshore fishing trip rather than off shore and he said absolutely. We caught 7 different species, two of which we were able to keep and use as bait trying to get some larger fish. We saw multiple dolphins on our ride and even a Manatee! My kids are experienced anglers and he let them do their thing! He was so laid back, knowledgeable and it felt like we were fishing with family! HIGHLY recommend him!
