Charters:
We offer full day Cape Canaveral sport fishing charters (10-12hrs) launching from Port Canaveral, Florida. Our Rates vary from season to season. When Gas is Cheap in Florida we lower them.
Rates: Full Day10-12 hours starts
at $650 for up to five anglers or passengers.
Children: Children 9 years of age and older are welcome.
Capt.Tim and Capt. Charles are very family oriented. There is
nothing more gratifying to the captains than to watch a child
catch a fish bigger than they are.
What to Bring: Lunch and snacks for
all day, sunglasses, hat, sun block (no spray on), zip lock bags
(for filets), drinks. Beer is welcome on the boat, but no hard
liquor, please. Rain gear is advised during storm months. Please
no jeans with rivets or metal buttons. No black or hard soled
shoes. We do not advise wearing open toed sandals.
What is Provided: All of your tackle
on this Florida sport fishing charter is provided. We do not
give you tackle that we wouldn't proudly use. Reels are Shimano
and Penn. Rods are a variety of customs from Shakespeare, Star and
others. All tackle is provided as well as ice. Your Florida Saltwater
license and federal permits for different species of deep sea
fish are handled by the Captain.
Home Port: Our home port is Port
Canaveral, Florida. Cape Canaveral is located 45 minutes from
Orlando and only 10 minutes from Cocoa beach, Florida. Port Canaveral
is one of the safest Ports to launch from on the East coast.
The cruise ship basin is an interesting sight when you leave
dock. Port Canaveral has a number of huge vessels from Disney to
Carnival cruises. It also is home to a variety of naval ships including
submarines.
Fishing Techniques: We employ several different
fishing techniques. Here is a little of what to expect
from each.
Live Baiting: is a quality producer; we
deploy flat lines off the riggers or off the stern. We use pogies,
and mullet for this application.
You never know what is lurking in the deep. This technique is
used mostly for Kingfish, Mahi, and Cobia. Hearing a SMOKER king
burn drag off your reel is a must in life.
Trolling: is our favorite at certain times of the
year. The catching is hot and heavy. This style is
definitely very rewarding for quality fish. This trip requires
a ride to the Gulf Stream to find Mahi, Wahoo, Kings and Sailfish.
This consists of rods being put in a spread and baits to be dragged
in our pattern until FISH ONNNNN!.
Bottom Knocking: is where you will see
a variety of fish. We keep our baits on the bottom - fishing
for Snapper, Grouper, Sea bass, Triggerfish, Amberjack, Cobia,
Porgy and more.
Payment Policy: We must receive a deposit
or credit card number to hold your reservation. If you cancel
prior to 72 hours before launch time there is no charge. Cancellations
less than 72 hours may be subject to a $100 charge. If there
is a “no
show” there
will be a $250 charge. If we cancel due to an emergency or bad
weather (for your safety), there will be no charge.
It is customary to tip the mate or captain at least
10-15% in the charter industry. We have a simple saying on the Fin
Freak, if you're not worn out from landing fish…We do not expect a
tip.
Directions: From Orlando - take Hwy
528 East until you reach Port Canaveral. If you are taking I-95
or US 1 - exit onto Hwy 528 East. Take Port Exit for B South
Cargo piers Cruise Terninal. Follow Cruise Terminal signs until
you reach the first traffic light. Turn Left at light (Flounder
St.) and it dead ends onto the docks. Parking is to the right of
the docks.
U.S. Coast Guard safety approved. Safety is our #1 concern on the water
followed by loading up the fish box!
