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 release agreement at the dock and step on the vessel with no more than a few personal items such as weather-appropriate attire, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and possibly lunch if you’re fishing a full day.

Whether yours is a family of experienced anglers or you want to introduce the young ones to the sport, Captain Tim provides a low-pressure angling experience the whole family can enjoy!

Nothing less than an outstanding Captain and guide. Not o Lu did we catch fish, WE CAUGHT FISH. After the trip he filets them, wraps them and then sends you on your way to Marlin’s where they take your fish and cook it to your liking. A+ experience with Tim as well as the choice of dining! When I come back he’s my go to!

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...

Tim was knowledgeable, he’s spent his whole life fishing this area and we never had any doubt that he’d put us on the fish. Jolly, outgoing and professional every step Of the way. 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!

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!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
