We had horrible weather that cut our trip short, and the fish just started biting right when it was time to leave, but I do not hold that against them as they can't control nature. We did catch our limit of kings, couple Atlantic sharpnose sharks, and three remora. Lost two kings. We went out with Captian Zach on the Under Fire. He was a cool dude who found us some big fish and kept us out longer than all the other captains due to the rough seas and incoming weather. I'd definitely fish with him again. For anyone wondering how to fly their fish home, it's pretty easy. Publix down here sells dry ice for about $1.50/lbs. You can have a max of 5.5lbs of dry ice in your checked luggage, no "water" ice allowed. Buy a $7 styrofoam cooler from the marina, put your fish in it with the dry ice on top, fill with bubble wrap so it doesn't move, tape the cooler shut and then wrap with bubble wrap, pop a "vent hole" through the bubble wrap and cooler, then throw it in a box and tape it shut, and put a note on the box that says "Contains Dry Ice" and TSA will let you check it with any airline. I looked and looked for a business that would vacuum seal our fish and freeze it, and pack it for us to fly home and I couldn't find one. Captain Zach was happy to fillet our fish for us which was awesome and convenient. I'd have paid extra if Fired Up would buy a company vacuum sealer and let the captains seal it up in two pound portions hint hint ;-) Fish keeps so much longer in vacuum bags not that this is gonna last very long as we will eat it fast. We will definitely be back for more fishing in the future.

We saw it all, alligators, manatees, dolphins with their babies!! Every bird you can imagine, turtles, snakes just everything out there. We also got some great views of some incredible homes and local architecture along the water which was really neat. Our captains Andrew and Pat were very knowledgeable and professional! We learned so much. The real highlight of the day was that as we were due to dock Andrew let us know that there was about to be a spaceX launch and if everyone agreed we could extend the ride a bit so we could all watch it. To our delight everyone did. My husband came down here 30 years ago at the age of 10 to see a launch that ended up getting scrubbed so for him to see his first ever real launch on our 19th anniversary was pure magic! It brought tears to both our eyes and I will forever be grateful to them for giving us that experience. Fantastic memories made and worth every penny and more! Also want to note that the boats bathroom was very clean and easy to use. They provided beverages both adult and regular refreshments. The shade kept us pretty cool but I do recommend bringing "chilly towels" and a hand fan if it's over 90 degrees. We will absolutely be returning with our kiddos on our next trip to take them as well.

Maybe the 400 lbs Bull shark had something to do with it. We caught several different types of fish, and all were great fighting fish. Crazy hot day but not much was going to stop us. And we only needed two fillets which were also delicious. Many thanks to Capt. Scott for the quick response as we only booked once we arrived in town. Communication was excellent.

Because I…read morestarted on Trip Advisor and forgot this one (forgive me fellow Yelpers, Scott deserves love from both sites!). OK, I could write for hours on how great the trip was, how on top of things Scott was and how many big fish we caught but I think you get the idea - it was a great day! We reserved Captain Scott's services for an outing over Father's Day weekend. He dropped his nets and hat us bait fish in no time flat and then we were off. No sooner than he dropped a line in the water for us, we were pulling up a nice big Rainbow Runner. Over the day we caught our fair share of fish and I was eating Cobia out of my freezer for weeks. If you're wondering how much different a charter boat is from a "party boat" like the Miss Cape Canaveral and Orlando Princess, I'll put it like this. One of my catches on the Charter boat had more meat than ALL of the fishes I've caught on over 10 outings on those party boats...combined! I'm spoiled now and I'll most likely never step foot on anything but Scott's boat for charter fishing now. When we mentioned who we went with around other fishermen, they all knew Scott and told us we picked right. Everyone Knows Scott, it seems. Tips: Bring your own cooler, drinks and food. Bring some sunscreen and a hat Captain Scott's got the rest I truly have nothing bad to say about the outing and I have already booked him for the Saturday before Father's Day 2015 so back off, it's mine!

It was just as good as the first one. The chow was slightly better than the last trip, but this day trip was more expensive. I HAD A GOOD TIME. So here is what it costs: 1 Adult: $118 (Full Day trip from 8AM to 5PM) And here is what you get: Breakfast & Lunch Unlimited Soda Use of a standard Rod & Reel with Tackle Fishing License for the day Free Parking Dead Sardine and Squid Bait provided This boat is smaller than my last trip, so there is a lot more rocking! I did not see many fish caught. It seemed that everyone fed a lot of bait to the fish. The fish are very adept at nibbling and stealing the bait without taking the hook. I did get one good strike and played it for about 20 seconds, but the line snapped and whatever it was took the bait and the hook. I could complain that I did not catch a fish to take home and eat, but I will not. This is called "fishing", not "catching". It is not a sure thing to bring home anything. Big fish don't get big by being stupid! I simply enjoyed my time at sea VERY MUCH. The CREW was EXEMPLARY. VERY PATIENT and EXPERIENCED. They are masters at untangling crossed fishing lines. They also provided valuable information on how to properly handle and secure your hook, as well as how to properly bait the hook. The GALLEY CHEF provided SIMPLE FOOD that was TASTY and SATISFYING. Be sure to tip them well. I also met many nice people on the boat from all walks of life and enjoyed talking to them!

They're definitely NOT good for kids. Unless if your kids are used to you smoking around them, then…read morethis could be for you. Adults smoking cigars all over without a care in the world that children are on board too and the staff won't say a word to request for them to not smoke. We got on the half-day charter and the boat about half full. We maybe spent 45 mins TOTAL in fishing. The rest was just boat riding and finding a spot to fish. I wish we had more actual fishing time My son caught 2 small fish and somebody else caught red snapper. Our group was definitely NOT happy with the way our day turned out. And they still expected us to tip by walking around with this tip bucket. If they had done a better job finding us a fishing spot sooner and we had more actual time fishing, then yea... they deserved a good tip. This one just plain sucks. The guy cooking for us was good though! 5 stars for him but we're there to FISH so all in all, this is a 1-star. And I'm being generous at this. I definitely don't recommend!

The captain (Ian) is very knowledgeable and able to tell us exactly what we can and can't keep and has been doing this kind of stuff pretty much his whole life. He found us some great spots, and went above and beyond during the trip. Highlight of the trip was when he helped us snag a large bull shark! They were great about telling us what we needed to do, but letting us actually do it. We actually hooked a second one, but it ended up snapping the line on that one. They filleted what we caught as soon as we got back to the pier and we were able to get it cooked right away at the restaurant at the pier, and took home the rest of what we weren't going to eat. This was my first experience deep sea fishing. This was, by far, the best fishing trip I could have asked for and set a VERY high bar for any future fishing trips to follow in the future.

Our tour guide was very informative and it was great to hear about the area and learn things I had never heard of before. The staff was friendly and great with the small children in the group. They also had a cooler with water and Gatorade for passengers. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, red fish, and many native birds. They also had a fish tank and woukd let the children interact with them. I would recommend this to anybody from out of town or any local resident. Lots of information for any age group. They were also very helpful to a group member who got sea sick. A+ in my book! Looking forward to going on the fishing charter they have!

Place feels like its run by scammers. They canceled our trip after boarding, and gave us no refund…read more Very disappointing experience. We planned our entire day around this trip, spent nearly two hours riding out offshore, and then had the trip, with 25+ people, canceled on us for whatever reason before we ever got to fish. By the time we got back, we had spent about four hours on the boat and never even put our lines in the water. What really bothered us was being told there would be no refunds. We understand that things happen on the water, but when a trip gets cut short and customers never actually receive the experience they paid for, you would expect the company to make it right. Instead, the staff came across as dismissive, and several customers were understandably upset. If you're visiting the area and looking for a fishing trip, I would definitely compare other options around Melbourne or Sebastian before booking here. It may be worth paying a little more for a smaller charter where your entire vacation day is not at risk. Never coming back. Not tourist-friendly, and the customer service was nonexistent.

I cruised out of Port Canavaral twice in three weeks on the Norwegian Prima with very mixed…read moreembarkation and debarkation experiences. Embarkation was mid April for the first cruise and it was seamless. Got to the port around 10:30 am on Sunday. It was a little hectic getting out of the car, but once I had my bags in hand and b-lined to the boarding que, it was smooth sailing. The line wasn't long and I was on the ship in less than 20 minutes. Debarkation was just as smooth. I got in a short line with my bag in hand and walked off the ship in about the same 20 minutes. Getting through customs was a breeze with the facial recognition devices they have. Fast forward to the 2nd week in May. Same port, same ship, different Sunday. I arrived this time at 11:30 am. Embarkation was at another dock. The lines were super long, stood outside in line for about 45 minutes and it was pretty hot. Luckily there was some covering overhead. Still, that line was awful. Once I got inside it was about another 30 minutes to get through the inside que, at least it was air conditioned. And getting off the ship was fairly fast, but then we had to wait outside for about an hour for the shuttle. Not sure what the difference was, because both times the ship was just as crowded. Suffice to say the 2nd experience was awful and what made it more awful was having that great first experience. Showed up to the second cruise with very high expectations. I was thoroughly disappointed. For both cruises, once I was on the ship, the experience was fantastic. Norwegian has a great drink package if you are a drinker. The food is on par with any 4 star restaurants, and that is the free food at the dining halls. There is also specialty dining which is superb. On the Prima between the 2 cruises, I ate twice at the steakhouse, Magnets. Each time I got the ribeye and it didn't disappoint. I ate twice at the French restaurant, Le Bistro. Had the rack of lamb and a sole dish on the subsequent visit. Wow! Also had the mushroom soup and escagot on both visits. Yum and yum. Also got to eat at the sushi restaurant and the Mexican restaurant. The Mexican was really disappointing. Loved everything about the Prima. All total, I have been on that same ship 4 times. Just a final note, the best bartenders on the whole ship are Kasi from St Croix and Sunshine. In my opinion Kasi is the best bartender at NCL hands down. And that is saying a whole lot because the bar staff is on average 4 stars.
