Yesterday was an experience our family will never forget!
I’m so glad we found Flight Risk Fishing Charters through FishingBooker. We wanted to take our two kids on a memorable fishing trip while visiting the Cocoa Beach area, but we weren’t sure what type of charter to book. Since our son has always been fascinated by sharks, we decided to give shark fishing a try—and it exceeded every expectation!
We were lucky enough to catch four sharks, each a different species: a blacktip, blacknose, lemon, and finetooth. Every member of our family caught one! Captain Mike even let the kids keep the hooks they used to catch their sharks, giving them a special keepsake they’ll treasure for years.
Captain Mike was fantastic with our pre-teens. We started by anchoring and setting out the shark lines, and while we waited for the first bite, he had the kids fishing for sand trout. They caught well over 50! My son even caught one big enough that Captain Mike used it as shark bait—and that’s the bait that helped him catch his shark! It was such a cool full-circle moment.
On the ride back to the marina, Captain Mike took the time to teach our daughter about the boat and how everything worked. He was patient, engaging, and clearly enjoys introducing kids to fishing. As a family man himself, he shared stories with us throughout the trip, making the entire experience feel relaxed, welcoming, and personal.
We were able to bring three of our four sharks onboard the boat for photos. My husband’s shark was another story—it was simply too big! At approximately 12 feet long and around 400 pounds, there was no bringing that one aboard!
If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience with someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and wonderful with families, I can’t recommend Captain Mike and Flight Risk Fishing Charters enough. We absolutely plan to book with him again the next time we’re in the area!
