Defiant Fishing Charters

Member since January 2023 Port Canaveral, United States
Background
Defiant Offshore Fishing Charters operates with a state-of-the-art, custom-built vessel crafted by renowned boat builder Calvin Beal. Our boat, which is only a year old, measures 36 feet in length and has a 13-foot transom, perfectly designed for both commercial and charter fishing ventures. With a capacity to comfortably accommodate up to six passengers, our charter is well-suited for a variety of fishing adventures off the coast of Port Canaveral, an area where our captains boast over 20 years of deep-sea fishing experience. At Defiant Offshore Fishing Charters, our primary goal is to provide an unforgettable fishing experience, creating memories that last a lifetime. Depending on the fish activity and season, we offer various types of fishing expeditions. When the conditions are right, we might troll for King Mackerels or Dolphins, and occasionally, thrill-seeking anglers might reel in a majestic Sailfish or the speedy Wahoo. Additionally, during certain times of the year, in line with regulatory openings, we engage in bottom fishing where we target species like Groupers and Amberjacks. Our commitment is to ensure that every trip not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our clients, whether they are seasoned anglers or newcomers to the sport. We pride ourselves on a deep understanding of the local waters, fish habits, and the best fishing spots, which allows us to provide tailored and successful fishing trips. We invite you to join us on board for an adventure where the lines are tight and the waters are teeming with life. Join Defiant Offshore Fishing Charters for the fishing experience of a lifetime.
