Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter from Cape Canaveral

A captain who reads the Atlantic and puts you on the fish.

A private deep sea fishing charter departing from Cape Canaveral with an experienced local captain, all fishing equipment, safety gear and Florida licenses included. Choose between a 5-hour morning departure at 7am, a 7-hour afternoon charter at 7am, or a 5-hour afternoon charter at 2pm. The drive from Orlando is about 50 minutes. Fishing time ranges from 5 to 9 hours depending on your option, and you return to the same dock.

Step-by-step itinerary

Deep sea fishing from Cape Canaveral

• Drive from Orlando to Port Canaveral
• Meet the boat and prepare to depart
• Pass by Port Canaveral and cruise ships
• Fish in Atlantic offshore waters
• Return to Port Canaveral dock
• Drive back to Orlando

The experience

The boat leaves Port Canaveral ready to fish, and your captain decides where to go based on what's running that day and what your group wants to catch. Offshore, you're targeting mahi-mahi, sailfish, wahoo, tuna and kingfish. If conditions shift or the bite moves shallow, the captain switches to bottom fishing for grouper, snapper and amberjack. You handle the rod yourself. This is not a watch-and-wait experience. Every piece of equipment is on board and ready, from rods to tackle to safety gear, and your Florida fishing license comes with the charter so there's nothing to arrange beforehand.

The drive from Orlando takes about 50 minutes to reach the marina. Once you're at the dock, you board and head out past Port Canaveral, where you'll see cruise ships and the NASA launch station as the boat enters and exits the inlet. The shade structure keeps you covered while you fish, and local bathroom facilities are available at the marina before and after your time on the water.

Pick the morning departure if you want to be on the water early and maximize daylight. The afternoon option at 2pm suits a later start. The 7-hour afternoon charter gives you the longest window to find fish and work different depths as conditions change through the day. All three options return to the same dock, so your return time is built into the charter length you choose.
