CHARTER OFFSHORE: Deep Sea Fishing

If you’re looking for an exciting day where you can catch some of the bigger species of fish, like Mahi and Marlin, Charter Offshore fishing is the perfect choice for you. There are all-day trips ideal for one-of-a-kind, bucket-list type of deep-sea fishing excursions, where reeling in a huge trophy fish is a high possibility. Half-day trips are also available and are great for kids, grandparents, a full family outing, or a group of friends, regardless of any angler’s skill level.  Most Charters provide fishing essentials: rods and reels, bait, tackle, fish storage, and cleaning. Fishing licenses are required for offshore charters, but no extra step is needed; the charters provide that as well

SURF FISH

From sandy, shell-filled, or rocky beaches, fishing piers to rock jetties, stand on the shoreline or wade in the surf for your hand at surf fishing. Be a part of the sea of surf fishermen along the shore, waiting in anticipation, for a pompano, bluefish, or even snook. Both Jetty Park and A1A Beach Rentals have bait and fishing rentals should you’d like a chance to fish off of the pier, as well as anything else you might need for your adventure.   Surf fishing also requires a Florida fishing license.

Laid-back Fun, Fishing With Kids on the Space Coast Inspiring a love of fishing in your children is easy here on the Space Coast. Freshwater fishing experiences are typically a half-day of fishing on calm, favorable waters. Boats are on the small side, so they will accommodate your small family and give you a chance to interact with your guide to learn what types of lures to toss, bait hook, and what habitats to look for when you want to catch the big one. It’s big fun, with a small-time commitment perfect for the kids or anyone else who may need a nap.

CHARTER CHOICES

INSHORE FISHING is also great for the kids! The (mostly) calm waters of the intracostal waterway provide a bit more of a challenge. With more species of fish to catch, different habitats, and dolphins and manatees to encounter, these half-day excursions are great for a morning or evening on the water!

CHARTER CHOICES

If you’re looking for some challenging fishing where you can really focus on your catch, inshore and offshore charters can also provide a perfect experience. Guides can get you into the tricky, but fruitful canals and shores of the Indian River Lagoon put you on bucket-list redfish or snook, and teach you how to hook and reel’em in! These full-day and half-day charters take place on bigger boats that can accommodate between 6 and 10 guests. They’re perfect for intermediate anglers and fishermen looking for a laid-back but fun trip with friends.

Bottom Fishing or Party Boat trips are perfect for the first encounter with offshore fishing. These half-day trips take you out to the artificial and natural reefs just offshore in the Atlantic. Once you’re at the reef, you’ll be instructed to drop your line and wait for the bite! It’s a great way to get offshore for the first time, or with a large group if you’re not sure if everyone will have a good time fishing. They’re only ½ day excursions and get you back to Port Canaveral just in time for happy hour in the Cove.
