4 Hour Shark Hunt PM2 adults

Matt and Collin were both great guides and made the night a lot of fun despite sharks not cooperating. Their knowledge and expertise are definitely unmatched and they went out of their way to both provide the best experience possible. Could not recommend booking any more!

    July fishing trip

    4 Hour Shark Hunt PM • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had a great time with NSB Shark Hunters! We didn’t land a shark this trip, but that’s fishing—and we’d absolutely go again. We did hook into a blacktip, and watching the line scream off the reel had everyone excited! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to bring her in, but it was still an awesome experience. The captain and crew were incredibly kind, patient, and worked hard to put us on fish all day. We caught plenty of other fish, so the kids stayed entertained the entire trip and never got bored. Between the great people, beautiful weather, and excellent customer service, it was a fantastic day on the water. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back to try for that shark again!

    Best team for shark fishing at night!

    4 Hour Shark Hunt PM • 5 adults • 4 children

    We took four of our teenage grandchildren on this adventure, with Captain Dustin. Dustin made a point to spend time with each of the kids, teaching them about the sharks, the tides, and how to read the water. Even though the rigs were very large and heavy to manage, he found ways that the kids could cast and help him change the bait.  we enjoyed hanging out with him and Shell on the beach on a beautiful summer evening in NSB. Although the sharks won this time and we didn’t catch anything, the kids unanimously said it was a great time and they would do it again! highly recommend this adventure !

    Great trip! We’ll be back.

    4 Hour Shark Hunt PM • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an awesome time shark fishing with Dustin and Chelle! The experience was still 5 stars from start to finish. We learned so much about shark fishing, the ocean, and what goes into chasing these incredible beasts. Dustin and Chelle are the real deal — knowledgeable, patient, and you can tell they are truly passionate about fishing and making sure everyone has a great experience. They worked hard the entire time and made the trip fun, exciting, and memorable. We come into town once a year, and there’s no question we’ll be booking with them again when we’re back. 🦈 Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great fishing experience with great people!

    Response from Charter operator

    Derek, we had so much fun enjoying the evening with you, Roman and Bobby! Just hanging out with normal down to earth real people makes a whole evening, Shark or no shark! And we are so glad that you decided to make this an annual event!

    September fishing trip

    4 Hr Shark Hunt PM (1 PERSON ONLY) • 1 adult

    Had a great time shark fishing with Dustin. We didn’t end up catching a shark, but Dustin put in the work the whole time and definitely did everything he could. He was a really cool guy, knew what he was doing, and made the whole trip a good time. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking to go shark fishing in New Smyrna. I’ll definitely be back to try and get that shark next time!

    Response from Charter operator

    Nick, we can’t wait to see you in December through March! We are going to keep you busy for sure! Really appreciate the review and we will see you soon !

    Great Experience

    4 Hour Shark Hunt PM • 3 adults

    This was our first time doing on-shore shark fishing. Captain Dustin and Shell were great. They're very knowledgeable and passionate about the sport, and fun to spend the time with. Once a shark bit, they sprang into action and gave clear instructions on how to bring it to shore. After a good, long fight we landed a 7 foot lemon shark. Dustin and Shell were almost as excited as we were! It's great to be able to fish with people who are that passionate about their craft. I highly recommend!
