Born and raised here in New Smyrna Beach, I grew up fishing the local waters with my dad and older brother. When I wasn't working at my family's beachside restaurant, I'd spend all my free time on the water with friends and learned how to target and catch each species of fish that are native to this area. After years of fishing for fun, I started mating on a private fishing charter boat learning the ins and outs on how to troll offshore. Shortly after, I purchased my dream boat, the Poseidon, and decided to turn my passion and love for fishing into a career – something I've dreamed of doing my entire life. In August 2019, I obtained my captain's license from the School of Adams Marines Seminars.

    It was fun experience

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (Evening) • 3 adults

    It was a fun experience Capt George tried to give us the best he could a genuine article who has a real love and respect for the sport we tagged a tarpon and it was released with a video and all we WILL be coming back to him in the future well worth it as far as I'm concerned.

    Amazing Experience for So Many Reasons

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Lance took this single mom of 3 out for a morning trip and my kids haven’t stopped talking about it since, calling it the best thing we’ve done on our trip. He was kind, patient, funny, knowledgeable, and even took the time to teach my kids a few things that they will take with them later in life. I am beyond grateful for this experience and would HIGHLY recommend this charter to anyone and everyone. As a bonus, we were able to take what we caught to the Beacon restaurant on Flagler and they cooked our fish for the best lunch we’ve ever had. In a matter of only a few hours, this experience made us feel like family and I will remember it forever. Cheers!

    Outstanding in every way

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore • 3 adults

    Our original trip had to be modified due to high waves and Captain George provided ample information so we could change without penalty. Although we had been looking forward to the Gulf Stream, Captain Lance put us on some FANTASTIC spots inshore to catch pompanos, Spanish mackerel, mangrove snappers, jacks, ladyfish, grouper, and I even caught a blue crab with a lure! Professional, knowledgeable, super friendly and awesome company. We will most definitely be doing this again!
