Though these trips are not for the faint of heart, Captain Nick's passion for the water is contagious and he is dedicated to creating an awesome fishing experience for both seasoned and novice anglers alike. Your vessel for the day will be a spacious 34 ft’ Contender center console. She’s perfectly suited for 6 anglers, who can all fish at the same time, and is powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha engines that’ll have you zipping to all the best spots in no time. We fish some of the most prominent artificial and natural reefs in Volusia county on Florida’s productive east coast. Here you’ll find plenty of Snapper, Amberjack, and Barracuda. Further out you can troll the deep blue and offshore structures for Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and even Tuna when they are moving through. These offshore waters are always a mystery too. You never know what might be enticed by your bait! All of your fishing gear will be waiting for you on board. You’re also free to bring along your own spearfishing equipment if you’re experienced, just let us know ahead of time. Otherwise, all you’ll need is your own drinks and snacks, Captain Nick will provide the cooler!

    Wow!! IF YOU WANT TO GO SEA FISHING YOU HAVE TO GO WITH CAPTAIN NICK!!! So we turned up to a pretty chilly and windy meeting spot, thinking why hasn’t this been postponed to another day, surely we can’t got out in this weather. How wrong we were. Captain Nick arrived early assured us we would be fine and we would be fishing the river and not going out to the ocean, but he was pretty sure we would still catch some fish. When we started fishing within the 1st half hour we had caught 2 huge fish , the rest of the afternoon was spent tracking fish and catching them. Captain Nick and his mate answered all questions that were asked of them, their knowledge of the area and their love of fishing was clearly evident. They made this fishing trip, one that a 12 year old kid from England will remember forever. Thankyou Captain Nick for the experience
