Cape Canaveral Fishing Charter
Cape Canaveral Fishing Charter
 Come join us for a true Florida Sport fishing charter of a lifetime. We welcome seasoned fishermen, as well as beginners – we love to share our knowledge! It will be smooth cruising out of Port Canaveral with our U.S. Coast Guard licensed Captains, Tim Altman and Charles Smith.
Our boat “The Fin freak”, is a custom built, 2007 27ft, Blackfin with twin Evinrude E-tecs 200HO. This vessel is designed for a fast, dry and comfortable ride to the deep blue. The Fin freak boasts Lowrance electronics, Taco Outriggers, Cannon Downrigger, Icom vhf, Kenwood and Alpine sound systems, a 7ft fish coffin{for the Big One}and much more. U.S.Coast Guard safety approved - safety is our #1 concern on the water, followed by filling the fish box.
We employ many different fishing techniques on the East coast of Florida. Live bait fishing on wrecks and reefs off of Port Canaveral produces our most exciting days. We always try to have bait on the boat before we arrange for your pickup. When that's not possible, the first part of the fishing charter will be looking for bait, which can take anywhere from 5 minutes to up to an hour.
We base our Cape Canaveral sport fishing charter trip on what is biting at the time. On the East coast of Florida off of Cocoa beach we have a number a species to fish for. Our favorite species include Mahi Mahi, Wahoooooooo!, King Mack. Grouper, Snapper, Amberjacks, Cobia, and always welcome Sailfish. If you are just in the mood to have a fish pull on your line or to get the grub for a fish fry, we guarantee no matter what time of year, we will bring the action to you.
We can’t tell you what our favorite techniques are, we love what catches fish!

Children: Children 9 years of age and older are welcome. Capt.Tim and Capt. Charles are very family oriented. There is nothing more gratifying to the captains than to watch a child catch a fish bigger than they are.

Rods are a variety of customs from Shakespeare, Star and others. All tackle is provided as well as ice. Your Florida Saltwater license and federal permits for different species of deep sea fish are handled by the Captain.
Home Port: Our home port is Port Canaveral, Florida. Cape Canaveral is located 45 minutes from Orlando and only 10 minutes from Cocoa beach, Florida. Port Canaveral is one of the safest Ports to launch from on the East coast. The cruise ship basin is an interesting sight when you leave dock. Port Canaveral has a number of huge vessels from Disney to Carnival cruises. It also is home to a variety of naval ships including submarines.
Fishing Techniques: We employ several different fishing techniques. Here is a little of what to expect from each.
Live Baiting: is a quality producer; we deploy flat lines off the riggers or off the stern. We use pogies, and mullet for this application. You never know what is lurking in the deep. This technique is used mostly for Kingfish, Mahi, and Cobia. Hearing a SMOKER king burn drag off your reel is a must in life.
 Trolling: is our favorite at certain times of the year. The catching is hot and heavy. This style is definitely very rewarding for quality fish. This trip requires a ride to the Gulf Stream to find Mahi, Wahoo, Kings and Sailfish. This consists of rods being put in a spread and baits to be dragged in our pattern until FISH ONNNNN!.
Bottom Knocking: is where you will see a variety of fish. We keep our baits on the bottom - fishing for Snapper, Grouper, Sea bass, Triggerfish, Amberjack, Cobia, Porgy and more.
Payment Policy: We must receive a deposit or credit card number to hold your reservation. If you cancel prior to 72 hours before launch time there is no charge. Cancellations less than 72 hours may be subject to a $100 charge. If there is a “no show” there will be a $250 charge. If we cancel due to an emergency or bad weather (for your safety), there will be no charge.
 It is customary to tip the mate or captain at least 10-15% in the charter industry. We have a simple saying on the Fin Freak, if you're not worn out from landing fish…We do not expect a tip.
Directions: From Orlando - take Hwy 528 East until you reach Port Canaveral. If you are taking I-95 or US 1 - exit onto Hwy 528 East. Take Port Exit for B South Cargo piers Cruise Terninal. Follow Cruise Terminal signs until you reach the first traffic light. Turn Left at light (Flounder St.) and it dead ends onto the docks. Parking is to the right of the docks.

He will give his all for you to have a catch of a lifetime.
Capt. Charles Z. Smith. is also a Florida Native and has been chasing fins since he was big enough to hold a rod. He is married with children and his life long dream is to run a charter boat. If there is water and a fish, he will catch it. Capt. Smith has fished in many offshore tournaments out of Canaveral in the past 7 years and has produced some serious fish.
