I am a fourth-generation fisherman. My family has been fishing out of Ponce Inlet for more than 50 years. I started fishing with my father, grandfather, and older brother as a mate as a young man and have fishing ever since. I've also run boats to Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Grand Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas. I chose to follow the family tradition of deep-sea fishing because I love the adventure of being on the ocean and I also enjoy watching my customers experience the excitement of reeling in a great catch.

4 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 3 childrenOur family had an absolutely incredible experience with Rainbow Charters! This was the first time ocean fishing for the rest of my family (my third trip), and Captain Scott and First Mate Jeremy made it one we'll never forget. We booked a 4-hour charter, but we were having such an amazing time that I asked Captain Scott if we could extend it another 2 hours. He happily accommodated us, and I'm so glad he did! Captain Scott kept putting us right on the fish all day long. We caught amberjack, barracuda, bonita, king mackerel, and red snapper! We had to release the amberjack because it was too small and the red snapper because it was out of season, but that didn't take away from the excitement at all. Jeremy was phenomenal. He was constantly moving from rod to rod, making sure everyone was taken care of. There were several times we had doubles hooked up, and he never missed a beat! He was especially amazing with our three kids (ages 14, 14, and 7). He was patient, encouraging, and took the time to explain exactly what they needed to do while reeling in their fish. Watching our kids gain confidence and have so much fun was one of the highlights of the trip. Beyond the fishing, Captain Scott shared some great stories that made the experience even more enjoyable. It felt like spending the day with people who genuinely love what they do and want you to have the best time possible. If you're looking for a charter, don't hesitate to book with Rainbow Charters. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and we'll absolutely be booking with Captain Scott and Jeremy again the next time we're in town!

4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM • 6 adultsGreat time on the water. The crew was so helpful and insightful on just about anything you could ask them. Had a blast.. started off trolling for barracuda, after catching a couple good kingfish and cuda we decided to try out shark fishing. So much fun and so much fight, landed a ton of great sized sharks but the best part came after that. Right at the end of our trip something huge took our bait… turned out to be roughly a 15 foot 500+ pound sawfish. Highly Highly recommend to all experience levels. Great time with the family and the crew.

6 Hour Trip • 2 adultsWe couldnt of asked for a better experience. Per the Captains recommendation we left earlier than anticipated and got to watch the sunrise as we headed out. The weather was perfect. Jarred was the best 1st mate, he was very attentive and busy the whole time baiting the poles as we reeled them in! We caught alot of king mackerel and barracuda. It was a great time and we would definitely recommend booking with them. Thank you so much for a wonderful day, thanks to you both my daughter had a wonderful birthday.

6 Hour Trip • 6 adultsCaptain Scott and Jared did a fantastic job putting us on the fish! Captain was constantly trying to get us on the fish and Jared did an outstanding job of talking to us and being everywhere he needed to be. We were a large group of 6 and they still worked their butts off to make sure we had a great time. The boat was setup great and was super comfortable. Great ride out and back in! Book a trip with Captain Scott and Jared you won’t regret it. We will definitely book again with them.

6 Hour Trip • 5 adultsHad a great time. Big spacious boat safe for families with children. Cabin provided shelter from sun and sea spray during transit. Captain got us on the fish and First Mate Jared worked very hard to make sure we landed as much fish as possible. He also cleaned them after the trip was over. Would definitely go again if I’m in the area. Thanks!

What's biting with Rainbow Charters in Ponce Inlet
Offshore, trolling for Kings and Cobia is productive this time of the year. You can also hook into Bonito, as well as a nice selection of Snapper. Snook season opens up again and it's on fire!
