    Tarpon (shark) fishing in space

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults

    Some well managed pre-charter negotiations were necessary due to storms. Capt Joseph put us on large snook and red fish up to 33". After a brief but typical mid pm storm, we went tarpon fishing, and we managed to catch a juvenile hammerhead shark, which was a great consolation. Capt Joseph was great throughout our 4 hr charter and certainly knows the Cape Canaveral area. The local bird life was amazing, including Osprey, Frigate birds, Pelicans, Ibis, and others. We didn't catch Tarpon, but we saw them feeding, and the Hammerhead was a good consolation.

    We caught FISH!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Joseph knew right where to go to catch bait fish and caught all we needed in one throw of his net! Then we were out fishing for snook in minutes. My grandson caught the first one in no time thanks to the Captain's knowledge. It was a 15-20 pounder and he was in Heaven! We continued to catch fish and ended our day with a whopping 35 pound crevalle jack that took about 25 minutes to get into the boat. Great time, highly recommend!

    Great Trip — Fast Action and Short Runs

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 2 adults

    Had an awesome trip with Capt. Joseph Sanchez and RocketCity Charters. We were on fish fast with short runs, which made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. My buddy landed a verified 40” snook on live croaker and we also caught a nice tripletail. Capt. Sanchez worked hard, stayed on the bait and fish, and kept things fun the entire time. Highly recommend if you want good action without spending half the trip running around.

    Exceeded expectations!

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    Family of 3 came to visit Florida, from Colorado. 4+ days with only 1 completely planned. As a last minute venture we decided to go with RocketCity Charters for a short fishing expedition. Early morning, beautiful sunrise, cool temps, glass water, and amazing fishing! Joseph was a fantastic guide. Friendly, personable, professional, and highly knowledgeable. I know fishing is never guaranteed, but he put us in all the right spots, and we walked away with some awesome catches, big smiles and unforgettable memories. We had the absolute best time with him. We decided to keep a fish we caught and he gave us the excellent recommendation to take it to Rusty’s restaurant, in Port Canaveral, where they will cook it up for you! Another amazing experience! Joseph’s dedication and passion for fishing make him highly recommendable. Most happy with our experience!

    Triple Slam. Reds, Snooks, & Tarpon

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 2 adults

    Capt Joseph put us on the fish today. 1st ever snook and me and my wife doubled on the snook and reds. Not to mention a fine 100lb tarpon. Also a few more reds and snook. Boat was in great shape and Capt was very knowledgeable and did indeed have the skills to find and catch the fish. Super nice guy and I would book with him again in a minute. Give him a shot. You won't regret. Thanks Capt for the memories.
