I have 30 years of boating experience with over 1500 days logged sea time in both fresh water and saltwater, including ownership of (4) different vessels up to 31' in length. The majority of my sea time was obtained in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. I have a 100GT Master USCG captains license (near coastal) which allows me to charter up to 100 miles offshore in both inspected and un-inspected vessels in all US territorial waters.
i am also an active volunteer member of the Unites States Coast Guard Auxiliary (New Smyrna) serving as Past Flotilla Commander, Certified Vessel Safety Inspector, and National Staff Officer for the Recreational Boating Safety B-Directorate.
I currently operate inshore and offshore charters in New Smyrna Beach, FL and seasonal charters (March) in Fort Myers Beach, FL. My vessel is inspected annually by the United States Coast Guard UPV inspection program.

6 Hour Trip (PM)-Offshore/Nearshore โข 1 adultWe hit all types of weather. Rain, shine, rough seas and calm. Started slow but went out to a reef and caught a barracuda and some small bait fish. We we were coming back in the red fish were feeding. And caught some of those. Had a great trip and was a lot of fun.

5 Hour Trip (AM)-INSHORE/NEAR SHORE โข 4 adultsWe had a great time with Captain Mark! We celebrated Father's Day weekend with a fishing charter. Capt. Mark was super flexible with where we wanted to go / what we wanted to fish - and even let us stay out a little longer :) We had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking to do a fishing charter out of the New Smyrna Area!

5 Hour Trip (AM)-INSHORE/NEAR SHORE โข 1 adultWe had fun catching spainsh mackerel and a few other species and had a great day out on the water. Mark was very helpful going over safety protocols for the trip before we left the dock and fishing techniques while we were out. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who wants to go out and have a good time fishing.

Tim HarrisMissouri, USโขMember since 20205.0VerifiedCaptain Mark is Outstanding
5 Hour Trip (AM)-INSHORE/NEAR SHORE โข 3 adultsWe had an enjoyable trip, weather conditions made offshore fishing unavailable. Captain Mark accommodated and adjusted for an inshore trip. Unfortunately inlet and river fishing was slow due to unseasonable low water temps due to recent cold snaps affecting the bite. Captain Mark is very knowledgeable, safety oriented, and his boat is well equipped.
Response from CaptainThank you Tim, Mark and Jim! i really enjoyed our trip, and thank your sharing your friendships with me. You guys are awesome Patriots, at the very top of the list for greatest customers all time. the opportunity to be in our company is a gift and blessing. I appreciate you booking with me and look forward to future trips when youโre in town! Cheers to you! CAPT Mark ๐๐บ๐ธ๐ช

The fall mullet run attracts migratory fish close to shore. If you're after a Bull Redfish, this is the time to go for it. Don't miss the annual FishStock festival for tournaments, panels, and bargains.
