Where big fish stories become real life

 

For Captain Blake, fishing is a lifelong passion. Growing up on the waters of New Smyrna Beach, he was hooked on fishing at a young age. Today, he passes that same love for the water down to his son, competing in local tournaments and fishing for fun every chance he gets.
You can unwind on an inshore trip through the Indian River, Captain Blake has the local knowledge to put you on the fish. Captain Blake’s enthusiasm is contagious—making every trip an unforgettable experience. All ages welcome, no experience necessary. 
 

Planning your Charter

The Captain has you covered

The Captain covers rods, reels, bait, and your licenses. After the trip, he’ll also clean and bag your catch free of charge. The Captain will have ice and bottled water on board.

Plan to bring with you

Feel free to bring your snacks, drinks (no glass), a hat, sunshirt, sunglasses, and sunscreen (no spray sunscreen) .

Large Groups

In case you have a large group of up to 15 guests, Capt. Blake can arrange that trip too. He can organize other boats and captains, so there’s a small fleet at your service. This is typically a great solution for team buildings and large family gatherings.

Inshore

Hop aboard an 18’ Beavertail flats boat that accommodates up to 3 guests. Powered by a 90 HP Suzuki outboard engine and a wireless trolling motor and features a live bait tank and a cooler. Since the space on the boat is limited, please don’t bring your cooler – there’s enough room for your drinks and snacks in the captain’s cooler.
