Surf Rider Fishing Charters invites you to join Captain Rick Marchetti for a fishing adventure out of Sebastian, FL. Rick has been fishing in these waters since the seventies, so be assured he knows what's what. Whether you're looking for a fun family outing or something to do with friends, Rick will do his best to make sure you're having fun on the water.
You'll be fishing aboard a 37' Luhrs that's powered by a 370 HP Luhrs engine. It has a flybridge that gives you a great view of the surroundings, and other amenities such as a toilet (porta potti) are there to ensure your comfort during the trip. There's plenty of room on the boat for up to six people, so don't be afraid to bring the whole family along.
Captain Rick is an offshore fishing specialist and has a variety of packages for you to choose from. If you're itching to go after some big game fish like Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Barracuda, Cobia, and more, you're definitely in luck. You can also do some bottom fishing for the likes of Red and Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, and others if you prefer.
The price of a trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as the required fishing licenses. A 20% tip for the deckhand is customary.
After the trip is over, Captain Rick will clean the catch for your convenience. All that's left for you to do is to bring some drinks and snacks, a pair of polarized sunglasses, and you're all set.

Michigan, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFishing with Rick
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenCaptain rick and his crew were easy going and down to earth. We didnt catch any of the fish i wanted to catch ( we only did a half day) but he was able to put us on fish so that the kids could have a great time and we did!! highlight of the trip, one of our kids hooked a hammer head shark and rick helped her get the thing surfaced next to the boat so we could get great pictures of it!
Eric Gilman•Vermont, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedDeep sea fishing
Full Day Trip on February 27, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain Rick and his mate took us about 20 miles offshore where we got hooked up every time we stopped we caught fish some of the biggest trigger Fish we’ve ever seen. And snapper and redfish even got to see some sharks and some dolphins. Highly recommend choosing these guys to fish with down to earth. Nice. And their boat has a lot more room to move around and Fish then a lot of the other charters highly recommend choosing these guys you won’t regret it.
Doug Gutzmer•New York, USMember since 20244.7VerifiedGreat 3/4 day of fishing 60+
3/4 Day Trip on February 17, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain RICK was wild adverse and fishing methods and first mate. Colton did a great job keeping the boat clean and keeping bait on the hook at all times and right there there get the fish off quickly. One other thing, bring a big cooler to take your fish home and a bag of ice to keep them Cold.

3/4 Day Trip on August 6, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe had a fantastic time out on the water with Capt. Rick and Greg! From the moment we set off, there was tons of activity — they truly know where to find the fish. They took care of everything; all we had to do was reel them in! We brought home a kingfish and several French grunts, which made for a delicious dinner. Our daughter (11) and our son (14) had an absolute blast. It was a fun, stress-free, and memorable experience — and a great value for the price. Highly recommend this charter!
Mike BuxtonRepeat angler•Washington State, US•Member since 20212 trips5.0VerifiedHuge 60lb Kingfish
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 9, 2025 • 5 adultsA friend visiting from Seattle wanted to go fishing. Found Rick and Greg through Fishngbooker.com. We caught a huge Kingfish and a large Sailfish. Both Rick and Greg were very helpful with bringing in the fish and cleaning it. I would highly recommend them, a true fishing experience.

Greg Miiller•Michigan, USMember since 20225.0VerifiedCaptain Rick Fishing Trip
3/4 Day Trip (Shark) on March 27, 2022 • 5 adultsIf you are a SERIOUS fisherman then this is your boat. This is not the "fun" boat or the "party" boat but a TRUE FISHING boat! You tell him what you want and he will put you on it (if possible). Captain Rick knows the waters as he was raised on the ocean. He is a no nonsense fisherman ready to get it done!
