Captain Kenny took our family of four out to many different spots including just hanging out at a sandbar when our kids were getting restless.  We were not very experienced and he taught us the techniques and help get rods and baits setup, especially for the kids. We caught a few fish to take home for dinner and he let us stay out a little longer to try and catch some extra fish, we ended the trip with Kenny helping our 8 year old son catch a tarpon!  Kenny was great with the kids and I personally learned a lot about how to fish in the intracoastal waterway.

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!

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.
