About Your Trip

On this nighttime adventure with Captain Roy, you can beat the heat and not have to worry about getting sunburnt while you wear out the fish. So, come aboard for the moonlight bite to target Snook, big Reds, Tarpon (when in season) sharks, and more.

You will fish aboard his 22’ Skeeter powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine. Captain Roy provides Eupro rods, Penn reels, and Spiderwire fishing line. You are also welcome to bring your own fly fishing equipment.

While fishing inshore you can target a variety of species. Depending on the season you might reel in Redfish, Snook, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, Sharks, and more.

Captain Roy provides everything you will need for a successful day out on the water so all you need to bring are your favorite snacks and beverages and maybe a headlamp, and Captain Roy will take care of the rest!

The trip I had with Captain Roy was amazing! Being from out of town he was very helpful because I'm used to fishing for pan fish and fishing in Florida is a little different then that. My buddy, his 6 year old son, and I all had a lot of laughs and caught some fish. Caught my biggest fish and got to see a dolphin swimming around our boat. I'll definitely be planning on another...

My wife and i had a fantastic time with Captain Roy. He took us to an amazing fishing spot where we kept pulling up spotted sea bass. The spot was also very beatiful where we saw dolphins and even a manitee swimming around. I will surely do this again on my next trip.

Not sure why we didn’t have our original captain as I selected on the web site.

I would not recommend a trip through your services ever again. Very unprofessional operation and glad to provide the crappy feedback.
