Get ready for an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Tim out of Vero Beach, Florida! With years of experience navigating the inshore channels of the Indian River Lagoon and venturing offshore into the Atlantic, Captain Tim brings unmatched knowledge and a laid-back, family-friendly approach to every trip. His restored 26’ Hydra Sports is rigged with top-tier gear and electronics to get you on the fish fast.

The species you and the captain will target include Mangrove, Mutton, as well as other sorts of Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, King Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Tripletail and more. You’ll catch them using light and heavy tackle by casting, live baiting, bottom and deep-sea fishing, trolling, spinning, and jigging. You can take home your catch and you’re free to bring kids on the boat (12 and older on offshore trips recommended).

Captain Tim supplies all the quality tackle and bait. You need no fishing licenses as the vessels are licensed for your convenience. Bottled water and ice are also provided. You can virtually sign our waiver...

I had a great time fishing with Tim! He is very friendly and personable so it was like fishing with an old friend. He is also knowledgeable of the area and was able to put me on the fish I wanted to catch. I’m looking forward to getting back on the water with him next time I’m in the area. Thanks again!

This was simply one of the best charter experiences I’ve ever had. Capt. Tim went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. My daughter-in-law, on her first salt water fishing trip, hooked and landed no less than 12 fish. I’m pretty sure the boat landed over 30 fish including Snapper, Trigger Fish, Red Grouper, Spot and Black Drum. Tim was knowledgeable, he’s spent his whole life fishing...

We will not hesitate to book again with him the next time we’re in the area! This guy rocks so , book him while you can!
