About Your Trip

Captain David is committed to providing enjoyable & memorable fishing experiences for all ages.

For inshore trips, you will be fishing in a 2016 Action Craft flats skiff that is 17'2" in length powered by a 115 Mercury 4-stroke outboard. The max amount of anglers for inshore trips is three. Most of the inshore fishing is catch & release due to recreational fishing regulations.

We provide fishing licenses, all fishing gear, bait, tackle, a cooler with cold water, and light snacks. Feel free to bring any other food or drink items. Fish cleaning is provided at no extra charge for guests who would like to keep their fish to eat. We look forward to seeing you out on the water soon!

About Your Guide

David G.

Independent Guide

My name is Captain David and I am owner/operator of my own charter company. I was born and raised on the space coast in Cocoa Beach and I have been fishing & surfing since I was very young. I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to travel around the world and experience fishing and surfing in many great locations. I spent 12 years living in Hawaii and in 2006, I moved back to Florida's Space Coast to raise my family. I have worked as a firefighter paramedic with Brevard county fire rescue for over 17 years. I am currently fishing full time as a charter captain on the space coast of Florida running trips from Port Canaveral to Sebastian inlet. I offer inshore trips in the Banana River and Indian River. I also offer near shore and offshore trips in the Atlantic Ocean. I love fishing and I enjoy sharing the passion for fishing with others. Some days catching comes easy and other days it can be challenging. Being the owner/operator of my business, I can promise you that I will work hard to put you on fish. I invite you to come on out to the Space Coast and see what our fishery has to offer!

How did you get started guiding?

I had wanted to be a guide since I was a young kid and just never had a chance to do it. Back in 2018, I finally had an opportunity to attend Sea School and get my Captain's license. I had several friends who were guides and they were very encouraging for me to also be a guide. Once I got my captain's license I started running inshore & nearshore charters out of my 1997 Hewes Red Fisher flats boat.

What makes you different from other guides?

I think that one thing that helps me stand out from other guides is that I worked for the Ritz-Carlton hotel company on Maui for 10 years and I understand the importance of good customer service. I strive to treat my customers with the utmost respect and care while on a charter in order to provide a quality fishing experience for my clients. I am also the owner/operator of my company and I want to make sure to keep a good reputation in the fishing industry.

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.
