  Great Crew, Great Fishing, Great Day!

  Full Day Trip on September 10, 2026 • 6 adults

  We had an absolutely amazing time on our full-day fishing trip! From start to finish, the entire experience was spectacular. Captain Chad, First Mate Jay Jay, and Aida, the newly licensed Captain who joined us too, all made the day incredible. The crew was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. And we weren’t just fishing—we were CATCHING!! 🎣 We ended the day with 6 dolphin fish (Mahi) and 1 Kingfish! It was an unforgettable day on the water, filled with great fishing, great people, and plenty of memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better trip. A huge thank you to Captain Chad, Jay Jay, and Ada for making our day so special. We will definitely be talking about this trip for a long time! **If you’re looking for an incredible fishing experience, we highly recommend Smokin Fish Charters** 🎣🌊

  was a great birthday trip for my husband

  3/4 Day Trip on August 9, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  We had 4 adults and 2 kids on this charter and it was the best experience. JJ (1st mate) was amazing! He took the time to answer and explain anything we asked about. We really wanted to learn about offshore fishing and JJ was so friendly and informative with all our questions. Captain Chad definitely got us on the fish which was a great experience for all, everyone got to reel in so many fish and we had 5 keepers. Was a great experence for all and the added bonuses where access to a bathroom on the boat and we had the option to get inside a covered area that had air conditioning. Was the perfect trip and we will definitely book smokin fish again!

  Thank you so much, Liesl! We’re glad you and your family had such a great birthday trip with us. It was great having everyone aboard, and we’re happy the kids got to get in on the action and everyone had a chance to reel in some fish. JJ will definitely appreciate the kind words, and Captain Chad will be glad to hear he put you on the fish! We appreciate you choosing Smokin’ Fish Charters and look forward to having you all back aboard again! 🎣🤙

  Heck of a birthday trip !

  Full Day Trip on August 1, 2026 • 6 adults

  I have to start off by saying Cartian Chad and First Mate JJ are awesome. Them guys are super cool and made my son’s birthday trip amazing. We felt like if we knew these guys forever. Next I have to say I’ve been on quite a few charters and at different locations around Florida and this was definitely the best one. I told Captian Chad I wanted to put my son and his friends on some big fish and he delivered. Everyone had a blast and this will definitely be our go to charter from now on. Thank you for the amazing time Smoking Fish

  Killing the Mahi Mahi

  Full Day Trip on May 7, 2026 • 6 adults

  Caught 4 very good size Mahi Mahi. Also caught 2 smaller size. Also caught a Bonita that gave a great fight! Captain and First Mate were amazing especially with my 11 year old nephew who caught the largest fish. The trip would suit any age. The Boat is amazing and had room for all. Very Comfortable Boat. Even for the women (nice bathroom for a boat. I am local and have taken charters from Canaveral and Ft. Pierce and I will only use this boat in the future especially if we have the same crew!!

  Amazing!

  3/4 Day Trip on September 1, 2026 • 2 adults

  The captain knew where to go and JJ knew what to do to catch fish. We even hooked up with a huge hammerhead at the end. What a trip! This was my first time on a charter boat like this. It was a bucket list item and I'm glad I went with Smoking Fish!!! My guests had an awesome time too!!!

  Thank you so much, Stephen! We’re glad you decided to check a bucket-list trip off your list with us. Captain Chad and JJ had a great time putting you guys on the fish, and that hammerhead at the end was one heck of a way to finish the day! We really appreciate you choosing Smokin’ Fish Charters and taking the time to leave us such a great review. We hope to see you back out on the water with us again! 🎣🤙
