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!

The trip was great! The captain made sure to meet all our needs and wants. We caught a lot, brought home dinner, and caught large fish for fun too. We caught a good variety of fish; including a couple of large red drum, trout, one large black drum, small sheephead.  The captain was great. He was instructive, patient, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone had at least one good catch. He made it a priority to make sure we had a good trip and wasn’t worried about time or anxious to get back. Our trip was his priority. I would definitely recommend this captain to do your trip as well.

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!

My daughter and I had an incredible time fishing with Kenny. He’s great explaining what to do and my daughter enjoyed learning from him.  He was very knowledgeable and friendly.  Even when things were slow at first, he knew exactly what to do and where to go. By the end of the day, we had some big fish and created wonderful memories! We’ll definitely book him again in the future.
