Best Day Ever!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Nick at Beast Coast Fishing Charters! From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Nick knew exactly where to take us and it felt like we were always in the right spot at the right time, and the action didn’t stop. What really stood out was how dialed in he was to the conditions and fish behavior. You can tell he has years of experience and truly understands the water. He made everything easy, fun, and stress-free. Beyond the fishing itself, Nick brought great energy, patience, and a laid-back vibe that made the whole trip even better. It honestly felt like we were out there with a friend who just happens to be an expert guide. If you’re thinking about booking… do it. You will not regret it. We’ll 100% be back!

Response from Captain

Really appreciate you for the amazing review. I’m glad everything came together and we were able to stay on the fish the way we did. That’s what it’s all about. What a great day💪🏼 Had a great time with you all, awesome couple to fish with. Looking forward to getting you back out there again soon! 🎣

    The REAL DEAL

    4 Hour Trip Offshore - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    My wife and I went out with Captain Nick this morning. We live in Port Orange and do some inshore fishing, but we wanted to try offshore fishing. After reading Captain Nick’s reviews, we decided to give him a shot—and let me tell you, the reviews don’t lie! The dude is awesome and literally never stops working to make sure you have a great trip. The weather started out rough and wasn’t what we expected, so we couldn’t get as far offshore as Captain Nick originally planned. But he pivoted quickly, found us some other spots, and got us right on the fish! We caught 50+ fish and even a couple of sharks! If you’re looking to go fishing around New Smyrna, Ponce Inlet, Port Orange, or the Daytona area, stop reading the other reviews and just hire Captain Nick. You’ll thank me later!

    Had an incredible experience on this fishing charter! The captain was absolutely amazing and super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip fun from start to finish. He knew exactly where to go and took the time to help everyone feel comfortable and confident out on the water. The highlight of the trip was catching a shark, which was an unforgettable experience! The captain guided us through the entire process and made it exciting while keeping everything safe and professional. You can really tell he loves what he does. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for an awesome day fishing and a great captain who goes above and beyond!

    Sharks and More Sharks!!

    6 Hour Trip Morning In/Nearshore • 3 adults

    On July 3rd, 2026, my two sons (19 & 23) and I wanted to go shark fishing, and Capt. Nick absolutely delivered. Over the course of six hours, we caught 11 sharks! We also had two incredible fish get away—but not before giving us stories we’ll be telling for years. The first was a 6-7 foot Blacktip (or possibly a Spinner) that accidentally took a bait on 30 lb test that was meant for catching smaller bait fish. We fought that shark for 45 minutes before it finally broke the line. Then came the fish of a lifetime. As soon as it hit, Capt. Nick said, “This is something huge. I don’t have anything rigged for something like this.” We had no idea what was on the other end. Two of us stayed on the rod the entire time, constantly switching out because we were gettimg tired. Then it surfaced… An absolutely enormous Tiger Shark. Capt. Nick estimated it at 14-16 feet long. It looked almost as big as the boat! We only got to see it for a minute before it powered away and snapped the line like it was nothing. I have never seen a shark anywhere close to that size. The massive head, huge dorsal fin, powerful tail, and those unmistakable tiger stripes—it was a true sea monster. Beyond the incredible fishing, Capt. Nick was knowledgeable and spent the day teaching us how to become better fishermen. The memories my boys and I made on this trip are something we’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, don’t hesitate. Capt. Nick is no nonsense and if you want to catch fish, he’s your guy. Thank you Nick for an unforgettable day on the water!

    Fun trip for all

    4 Hour Trip Offshore • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had a good day catching fish, watching dolphins swim by, and enjoying the nice weather. Captain Nick and his mate were great to make sure everyone was having a great time, that we had bait on our lines and in the water, and we were catching any many fish as possible. Captain Nick has great communication skills throughout the whole experience. He also gave very details information before and during the trip to make sure we were prepared on what we needed and also what to expect.
