OFFSHORE

We offer a variety of offshore deep sea guided fishing trips off the coast of Daytona Beach. Each trip offers its own variety of some hard fighting fish, that are prized not only for their ability to put up a great fight, but also for their food value.

First we offer a near shore guided fishing trip just off the beaches of Daytona. Geared towards the more adventurous fisherman in search of larger game fish, this trip is a bit less laid-back than our inshore trip, and the size of fish being targeted is much larger. You’ll spend the day cruising just a few miles off the shoreline in search of hard fighting cobia, kingfish, and tarpon, with the occasional shark and a variety of other species also being a possibility. The thrill of the hunt, and the challenge of taking on some incredibly hard-fighting game fish make this a very affordable trip for those looking for some big fish action.

For those looking for a big time fishing adventure on the high seas, Our Orlando Fishing Charters offer offshore guided fishing trips in the deep waters of the Atlantic. You’ll fish 15 or more miles off the coast of Daytona Beach, in search of some of the most prized game fish the ocean has to offer. You’ll spend the day trolling in pursuit of dolphin (mahi-mahi), wahoo, and tuna. If you would prefer, you can fish deep wrecks, or drift drop-offs and deep ledges in search of grouper, cobia, snapper, and a variety of other species.

Miami Fishing

Miami Offshore Fishing

Our type of sportfish boats are the quintessential fishing machines. They are designed for speed and seaworthiness in a variety of conditions. The traditional sportfish design consists of a long bow, followed by the cabin, and behind it a large fishing area. Over the cabin is the “flybridge” where the captain steers from. Some sportfish have a tower above the flybridge, which is useful for spotting certain types of fish.

ORLANDO OFFSHORE FISHING CAPTAINS

Captain Roland

Captain Roland has been passionate for the outdoors since early childhood. Growing up on Merritt Island, Florida,Captain Roland was home-schooled through high school. The great part of the home-schooling experience was the time it afforded me to fish – almost on a daily basis- which was perfect! His house was on the Indian River. As he grew older, he upgraded his small john boats for flats boats; and increased the range of his fishing territory. Fueled by his love of fishing; and desire to learn and study the patterns of salt water game fish.

Captain Roland is truly a great fisherman, his love for the sport shines brightly into the efforts he puts into his guided trips. If you want a knowledgeable guide, who will put you on the fish- Captain Roland is your man!

Captain Brad

Central Florida has been my home for over 28 years. Brad graduated in Daytona Beach and then off to Seminole College for 2 years. He has been fishing Florida waters for over 25 years, saltwater, inshore, offshore and freshwater for the variety of game fish there’s no better place to be. He started taking my son fishing, little did I know that would change his whole life and outlook, seeing him catch fish and the excitement he experienced led me to wanting to make other people feel that same pleasure of catching big game fish, it’s a really good feeling sharing the knowledge he has and teaching people how to catch fish.

Brad enjoyed the experience so much that he became a licensed Charter boat Captain “USCG Merchant Marine” to share with others his techniques and skills for catching trophy fish. My fishing photos speak for themselves, all my knowledge is compiled on years of calendars, making my best days on the water. Noting the tides, water clarity and temps as well as moon phases and barometric pressure. Let my expertise be put to work for your next fishing adventure.
