About Your Trip

Experience the natural side of Sebastian Inlet on a private wildlife and sightseeing cruise through one of Florida’s most active coastal ecosystems.

Your captain will take you through local waterways and areas known for wildlife activity while helping your group spot and learn about the animals that call the region home. Dolphins and manatees are commonly seen, along with shorebirds, seabirds, and other coastal wildlife.

The pace is relaxed, making this a great option for families with young kids, non-anglers, couples, and anyone who simply wants to spend time outside exploring the coastline. Your captain provides local narration along the way and can adjust the outing around what your group is most interested in seeing.

About Your Guide

Richard L.

Independent Guide

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.

You’ll head out aboard a 26’ center console bay boat powered by a 300 HP Suzuki and equipped with GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, trolling motor, ice box, and other gear for a comfortable and capable day on the water. Fishing licenses, rods, reels, tackle, bait, bottled water, and fish cleaning are included on fishing trips. The boat accommodates up to 6 guests.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

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.
