Holy Smokes Fishing Charters 

Danny was awesome, he called the day before to ask suggestions or see what we had in mind and gave us directions to meeting point. He asked us to get there a little early to head out and allow us more time to fish which is always a bonus! So my son and I got there early headed out and hooked some fish! Highly recommend to anyone it was well worth the trip.

Stop searching through charter after charter trying to decide who to book! BOOK Captain Dan!! We are two “hillbillies” from WV who have never been on a charter boat before. We had no clue what we were really booking. I didn’t know the difference in “deep sea, inshore, river fishing, etc...” so here’s the normal person lingo on Inshore/River Charter... River/inshore means you’re still in the ocean (I’m blonde and didn’t realize this). You just don’t sail miles and miles out to sea. You’re close to the land, you’re not going to get massive sharks and 20’ long fish on this charter. However- you still see some AMAZING creatures and real in large fish, sting rays, and have a fight on your hands with these guys. You are NOT bored at any point on this boat. Captain Dan casts extra poles and lets you reel everything that is hooked in. He explains the ocean and gives you lots of stories and and makes sure you have the time of your life. He is a Florida native and gave us some great tips on places to eat and visit. If you catch a fish and want to eat it, he cleans them and recommends a restaurant that will cook your fish for you! He is very knowledgeable and I’m sure would be a great Captain for actual fisherman who know what they are doing as well as putting up with those of us who don’t have a clue and giving us the time of our lives. I’ve gone on lots of vacations and lots of excursions. I’ve been on a speedboat at Niagara Falls, swam with dolphins, snorkeled with sting rays, slid the slopes at snowshoe, and I have to say this could possibly be my FAVORITE trip! We will be returning with the kids in a few months and will definitely make this an annual trip!

Great day! Dan is very personable and knowledgeable. He will put you on the fish!

Had a wonderful afternoon with Capt Danny on the inland fishing trip. Would definitely go out fishing with him again, hopefully offshore next time. If you’re looking for a fun afternoon of fishing you will find everything you’re looking for here.

Absolutely a great day on the water!! With plenty of action!! Captain Dan worked all day to ensure my family had a great trip and experience!!!

We had a fun day. We recommend Holy Smokes.

Legit. We stayed on fish the entire time we were with Captain Dan and couldn’t have asked for a better trip. He was easily relatable and just a good guy to be around. Best kept secret in New Smyrna and would feel guilty not leaving a good review - would rather have kept it a secret, but some just aren’t meant to be kept. Bid thanks and we’ll see you next April!

Dan was great. He put us on mahi that we’re biting like crazy.

We had an excellent day with Captain Dan , Holy Smokes Charter. As the pictures show he put us on the fish. He was good with the young boys. His 25’ Mako was well equipped for fishing. Could not have asked for a better charter

Captain Dan is very personable. We had a good time and highly recommend him. Yes we released the red snappers
