We had an absolutely amazing experience! I booked this charter for my husband and our 6-year-old son, and it was their very first fishing charter. Captain Chris was incredible—friendly, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and so informative throughout the entire trip.

My son had an absolute blast! He was so excited about all the different types of fish he got to catch, and ever since they got back, all he has talked about is when he gets to go again. Seeing dolphins, a sea turtle, and manatees made the trip even more memorable for him. It truly exceeded his expectations.

My husband had a wonderful time as well and couldn’t stop talking about how great Captain Chris was. He made the experience fun, educational, and unforgettable for both of them.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing charter, especially for kids or first-timers, I highly recommend booking with Captain Chris. Thank you for helping create such special memories for my husband and son—we’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I had an amazing fishing charter with Chad — easily one of the highlights of our Florida vacation! From the beginning, Chad was patient, flexible, and clearly very experienced. We accidentally ended up in Merritt Island instead of Port Canaveral (same street address), and Chad was incredibly understanding and helped guide us to the correct location without making us feel rushed or stressed.

Once we arrived, everything was ready to go with live shrimp bait already on board so we could maximize our fishing time. Chad had a great game plan and kept us on fish by adapting throughout the trip and moving spots when needed. Even when a submarine temporarily blocked one of the areas we planned to fish, Chad quickly adjusted so we could keep fishing instead of wasting time waiting around.

We caught an awesome variety of fish including tripletail, jack crevalle, bluefish, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, catfish, and margate. Catching tripletail is definitely a bucket-list experience and ended up being my favorite fish of the trip!

One thing that really stood out to us was how generous Chad was with his time and how much he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Unlike many charters that count dock-to-dock time, Chad focuses on making sure you actually get your fishing time on the water. We never felt rushed, and it was obvious he cared more about helping us enjoy the experience and catch fish than simply watching the clock.

He also helped us decide which fish would be best to keep and recommended a restaurant that cooked our catch perfectly afterward. On top of everything else, Chad was professional, easy to talk to, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. It’s easy to see why so many people return to fish with him again. We would absolutely recommend booking a charter with Chad!

Capt Chad contacted us the day before to make sure we knew where to go, what to expect etc…we were on the water & on the fish within 20 minutes, catching 6 species & had a blast. He took his time, shared local knowledge, fished over & above the scheduled time & he fileted our keepers! We can’t wait to set up another successful trip with Capt Chad!

Had an amazing 4hour fishing trip with Chad. Very friendly and informative, easy to talk to and will ease any concerns you have. Caught 5/6 different species of fish on the trip. Multiple locations visited. Great communication from prior to booking all the way to meeting point.

Could not fault Chad and I would highly recommend anyone wishing to do a charter in the area to book with him. Again super friendly and communication was spot on.

Thanks for a great morning of fishing. Hope you got home in time 😄.

Chad definitely knows where the hot spots are. Super nice guy that makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years! He went above and beyond in all aspects. We were on the fish right away and didnt have to go far to start catching them. I cant wait to book with him next time im in town. Thanks Chad, we had the best time with you!!!
