I'm a true Florida native and have been fishing my entire life. I literally grew up fishing out of Port Canaveral and know these waters well. I have also dove most of our wrecks and have firsthand knowledge of exactly what I am fishing. When I am not running charters I am commercial fishing. This allows me to stay on the water and stay current with where the fish are. One of my favorite things to do on charters is put kids on fish. We are very family friendly and will ensure everyone has a great time.

    Great 1st Experience while on vacation!!

    Half Day Trip – Shark (AM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    The captain was amazing (Ryan .S.)! There was an unexpected mishap prior to leaving in the morning (out of the captains control) but the hubby and our daughter had an amazing time! caught 2 smaller shark (don't quote me on what exactly they were though) with even waiting over an hour to get out on the water. (again not the captain's fought) it turned out to be a great 1st experience, our daughter and the hubby enjoyed the trip! I just tagged along for the ride lol! I would recommend it to family and friends to experience! The captain was very personable and knowledgeable! The boat was clean! The family had an amazing time deep sea fishing 🎣 for shark ect. Thank you, it was a nice addition to our family vacation!!!

    Great fishing experience

    Focused Mahi Trip • 1 adult

    Captain Ryan went to locations that had fish. In any trip some fish where caught and some get off the hook. I ws able to catch multiple fish over eight hours, I lost count honestly. I did keep two and the rest was catch and release, including ( Frank the shark ) inside joke. The trip was amazing you couldn't be happier picking this fishing charter.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Blackfin Tuna

    Had A Great Day!

    Half Day Trip – Shark (AM) • 2 adults

    Thank you Captain Ryan for an awesome fishing trip on a perfect day! My wife and I picked this boat for plenty of shade, and we weren't disappointed. We kept our first fish (my catch!), a king fish, and, on Ryan's recommendation, took it to Rusty's for dinner. Rusty's only cooks the fish, they don't prep. it, but Ryan had done a perfect job of filleting it at the dock. (hint: along with water and snacks, bring some 1 gallon ziplock bags for potential fillets)

    great experience

    4 Hour Trip – Shark (PM) • 2 adults

    We caught two sharks before seasickness got the best of us and we had to cut our trip short. Even though we couldn’t stay out as long as planned, the captain was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. He made the experience as enjoyable as possible, and we truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism. The negative review that i read was false in my opinion! Well worth the money!

    Reported catch:
    Bonnethead Shark
