Zookeeper Charters

Captain Richard has spent his life around Sebastian Inlet, building the kind of local knowledge that only comes from years on the water. From the flats and channels inside the inlet to nearby coastal waters and offshore grounds, he knows how tides, seasons, weather, and current can shape each day’s opportunities.

His trips cover a wide range of experiences, including inshore and offshore fishing, big-game shark and Goliath Grouper trips, wildlife cruises, sunset tours, and laid-back days exploring local islands and sandbars. Fishing guests can target everything from Snook, Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Sheepshead to Tarpon, Snapper, Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Cobia, sharks, and more depending on the trip and current conditions.

Trips are private and welcoming for families, kids, couples, experienced anglers, and complete beginners. Richard provides the equipment, instruction, and local insight needed to make the day easy, while adjusting the itinerary based on what your group wants to get out of the experience.
