If I could give this charter 10 stars, I absolutely would! From start to finish this was hands down one of the BEST experiences we’ve ever had on the water. Captain Kenny was incredible — super friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire trip so much fun. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing time.

The fishing was EPIC! We were catching fish nonstop and reeling in some seriously big ones. The adrenaline rush of fighting those fish was unforgettable, and Kenny made sure everyone got in on the action. He knew exactly where to go and kept the energy up the entire trip.

Not only did we catch amazing fish, but the whole atmosphere was perfect — great vibes, lots of laughs, and memories we’ll be talking about for years. Whether you’re experienced or brand new to fishing, this is THE charter to book.

Thank you Kenny for such an awesome day on the water. We’ll 1000% be back again! Lifetime friendship was made! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing trip!

The trip was great! The captain made sure to meet all our needs and wants. We caught a lot, brought home dinner, and caught large fish for fun too. We caught a good variety of fish; including a couple of large red drum, trout, one large black drum, small sheephead.  The captain was great. He was instructive, patient, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone had at least one good catch. He made it a priority to make sure we had a good trip and wasn’t worried about time or anxious to get back. Our trip was his priority. I would definitely recommend this captain to do your trip as well.

Shoutout to Red Alert Charters!

My brother and I recently had the pleasure of heading out with Captain Ken from Red Alert Charters for a winter trip on the Indian River in Melbourne, and it was an absolute standout experience.

Captain Ken completely delivered on his promise of a great day. He knows these waters like the back of his hand, and it showed. The highlights of the day included:

The Big Catch: Landing a feisty 24 lb. Black Drum that gave us a serious run for our money!

Variety: We also brought in some beautiful Speckled Sea Trout, and Mangrove Snapper, adding some great action to the day.

The Vibe: Beyond the fishing, we were fortunate to have perfect Florida winter weather and some truly fine banter. Captain Ken isn’t just a knowledgeable guide; he’s great company on the boat and even had a stocked cooler for our trip.

If you’re looking for a top-tier charter in Melbourne, I can’t recommend Red Alert enough. We’ll definitely be back!

Would definitely recommend this captain. We did a half day trip, and he worked hard the whole time making sure we had the best opportunities to catch fish. The captain is very knowledgable and also provided a lot of instruction on the particulars of multiple species and the techniques to snag them. It was clear he has a real passion for fishing, and we all had a great time reeling in some winners.

Captain Ken was excellent from start to finish on our 1/2 day trip.  Super welcoming from the moment we arrived, knowledgable, professional and entertaining in exactly the right amount. He knew the best spots and was super helpful in guiding us to be successful. Being from Michigan, our style of fishing is different than is required in FL, and Ken set us up for success by teaching us how to cast, wait, and land some great fighting fish! We could not have asked for a better guide or experience to highlight our vacation in Melbourne.
