About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Chris and get ready for a memorable trip fishing the Florida Atlantic! In the deep waters off the coast of Daytona Beach there's always bound to be a prized fish chasing after your line.

On this 3/4 or full-day trip, Captain Chris will take you offshore, where you can expect to target Amberjack, King Mackerel, Red Snapper, and even have a chance at some pelagics like Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, or Wahoo. Depending on the fish, Captain Chris will get you set up with one of a variety of fishing methods including light tackle, artificial lures, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging. Captain Chris has done it all from charters to commercial fishing, so don't be surprised when his expert tips land you a picture-worthy fish!

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Chris' 36’ Yellowfin center console with a capacity for 6 anglers. This boat packs some muscle; Thanks to its twin 350 HP Yamaha V8 engines she can cruise up to 35 knots and will get you off the coast in a hurry! This luxurious vessel comes equipped with GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, a Live Bait Well, Outriggers, and an Ice Box to store your catches. It even has a roof to provide shade and a bathroom on board.
Everything you reel in is yours to keep, and Captain Chris will happily clean any keepers for an additional cost.

Captain Chris will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any snacks or drinks you might need. Come visit Port Orange and have a super fun time on the water with Captain Chris!

We went out with Captain Chris and had an amazing experience! Our party consisted of four people with a grandmother and three teenage grandchildren. With Chris’ knowledge and skills, each of us were able to catch at least one shark. He prepared the one we kept and we were able to have it cooked at a nearby restaurant for lunch!
