Sometimes you can catch fish with the shores of Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral still in view.

How Far Offshore We Fish

How far you go depends on the trip you book. A half day reaches about 25 miles out. A full day can run as far as 40 miles off the Cape.

Wrecks and reefs sit several miles off Port Canaveral, so even a half day puts your line on good bottom. Kingfish are one of the most dependable fights on a half-day trip, and cobia and snapper hold around the same structure. Sharks can be found at any depth.

A full day goes farther, out to deeper structure and blue water, and you get more time on the better ground. That matters if you want sailfish or mahi. Sailfish tend to show up along the Gulf Stream and near underwater structure. A full day is also where wahoo and grouper come into play.

Not sure which to pick? A half day runs 5 hours and suits first-timers and families. A full day runs 9 hours. Our 32ft Sonar runs the furthest offshore with room for up to 6 anglers. The 30ft Seavee has a bathroom onboard, which helps on a 9-hour day. See our full deep sea trip options for boats, hours, and rates.

Florida Shark Fishing Charters

Shark fishing off Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach shark fishing are fun for anglers of all ages and abilities! Sharks can be found at any depth. You can sometimes see them on the surface, tailing their way across the water! This is an action packed sport fishing charter for anglers of any age or experience level!

The types of saltwater fishing charters are Deep Sea Fishing, Shark Fishing, Inshore Fishing, and Nearshore Fishing.

Planning Your Cocoa Beach Fishing Trip

Cocoa Beach sits on a barrier island, so two kinds of water are close by. East is the Atlantic, where the bottom drops to an oceanic shelf a few miles offshore. West is the calmer Banana River and Indian River Lagoon, where the water stays flat even when the wind picks up outside.

Our boats leave from Port Canaveral, a few minutes from the Cocoa Beach hotel strip. There is no long drive before or after your trip. Ocean days go after kingfish, cobia, mahi, sailfish, and sharks. Lagoon days are the better call for young kids, older guests, and anyone prone to seasickness.

How long are Cocoa Beach fishing charters?

Trip lengths depend on the boat and the fishing. Deep sea trips run 5 hours for a half day or 9 for a full day. Shark trips run 4 hours. Nearshore runs 5 or 8 hours, and inshore runs 4 or 6. The bioluminescence night tour lasts 90 minutes. See the full list of trip lengths and rates.

Do I need a fishing license?

No. Your fishing license is covered by the charter, along with park permits. There is nothing to buy or file before your trip. If you want to learn the rules for yourself, here is a short guide to Florida saltwater fishing rules.

When is the best time to fish Cocoa Beach?

Something is biting nearly year-round on the Space Coast, but which fish are most active changes with the season. Ask us what is running best when you book, and we will help you plan around it. For a closer look, read when to fish offshore near Cocoa Beach.

Is a charter good for kids or beginners?

Yes. Every Fin & Fly charter is private and family friendly. Our inshore trips stay in calm, protected water, which makes them a great fit for first-timers, older guests, and kids. They are also the best pick on days when the ocean is rough. Learn more about inshore trips for families.

What should we bring?

Bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, and rain gear if the weather calls for it. Pack drinks and a snack or lunch too. We provide the cooler with ice. Spin or fly gear, bait, lures, and your license are all on the boat. Here is our full packing checklist for a charter.
