I've been a captain since 2002 and have worked on boats since I was 15. I have fished professionally in multiple states along the Eastern Seaboard and in Alaska. For the past 18 years, I've focused on fishing in the Banana and Indian River Lagoon system. Despite working as a crew boat, supply boat, and tugboat captain, my passion has always been coming home to fish whenever possible. Now, I've turned my passion into a full-time career.

    Capt. Ken put us on the fish.

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    First time on an inshore charter and very little knowledge of anything other than bridge or pier fishing I was skeptical because I clearly wasn’t versed on how to catch these species. Captain can really spent time teaching us how to fish debate fish the area with positive constructive criticism to keep us off of our bad habits. My son and I had an absolute blast caught multiple red fish, a few snook, black drum and Tarpon. His equipment is in great working order and his knowledge of the area we fished was incredible. We will definitely see you again Captain Ken thank you for the great day.

    Amazing Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    This fishing trip was definitely the highlight of our Florida trip. Captain Ken had us catching fish immediately in the morning and it kept up all day! He was very knowledgeable of the spots and was very patient explaining to us how to fish each spot. He was also super friendly and funny to be out on the boat with if the fish ever got slow! Overall the day was very successful and we accomplished our goal of catching a tarpon! 10 out of 10 recommend Captain Ken and Red Alert for anyone looking for an awesome fishing trip!

    Reported catch:

    REEL memories, BIG fish, ever better CAPTAIN

    3/4 Day Trip2 adults

    If I could give this charter 10 stars, I absolutely would! From start to finish this was hands down one of the BEST experiences we’ve ever had on the water. Captain Kenny was incredible — super friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire trip so much fun. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing time. The fishing was EPIC! We were catching fish nonstop and reeling in some seriously big ones. The adrenaline rush of fighting those fish was unforgettable, and Kenny made sure everyone got in on the action. He knew exactly where to go and kept the energy up the entire trip. Not only did we catch amazing fish, but the whole atmosphere was perfect — great vibes, lots of laughs, and memories we’ll be talking about for years. Whether you’re experienced or brand new to fishing, this is THE charter to book. Thank you Kenny for such an awesome day on the water. We’ll 1000% be back again! Lifetime friendship was made! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing trip!

    Great trip! Caught dinner and large fish.

    Half Day Trip (PM)4 adults

    The trip was great! The captain made sure to meet all our needs and wants. We caught a lot, brought home dinner, and caught large fish for fun too. We caught a good variety of fish; including a couple of large red drum, trout, one large black drum, small sheephead. The captain was great. He was instructive, patient, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone had at least one good catch. He made it a priority to make sure we had a good trip and wasn’t worried about time or anxious to get back. Our trip was his priority. I would definitely recommend this captain to do your trip as well.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Sheepshead
    Speckled Trout
    Black Drum

    Great family outing

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults2 children

    Captain Kenny took our family of four out to many different spots including just hanging out at a sandbar when our kids were getting restless. We were not very experienced and he taught us the techniques and help get rods and baits setup, especially for the kids. We caught a few fish to take home for dinner and he let us stay out a little longer to try and catch some extra fish, we ended the trip with Kenny helping our 8 year old son catch a tarpon! Kenny was great with the kids and I personally learned a lot about how to fish in the intracoastal waterway.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Mangrove Snapper
    Redfish
    Tarpon
