Fired Up Fishing Charters offers “the hottest deep sea fishing in Central Florida,” based out of Port Canaveral, proudly serving Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Orlando, Kissimmee, Daytona, Melbourne, Kennedy Space Center, Disney, and surrounding Central Florida. The business runs daily private offshore fishing charters aboard four identical custom Stuart Angler boats, targeting Cobia, Wahoo, Tarpon, Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi), Sailfish, Amberjack, King Mackerel, and Sharks.
The owner started with a fast center console but switched to the 33-foot Stuart Angler after realizing families needed shade, an onboard restroom, big coolers, and comfortable seating — features now standard across the entire fleet, powered by Yanmar 440 HP turbo engines for a smooth, steady “plow” style ride with no pounding waves. Every boat carries an EPIRB and modern navigation electronics, with the owner’s background as a firefighter, police officer, Navy veteran, and former SWAT leader shaping a genuine focus on safety and attention to detail. Each boat is even themed after these careers.
Trip options include Half Day (6 max, 7am-12pm or 1pm-6pm), 3/4 Day (6 max, 7am-2pm), Full Day (6 max, 7am-4pm), Shark Fishing Trip (6 max, AM/PM varies), and Deep Drop Trips (6 max, 7am-4pm), with custom packages available. All captains hold U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s Licenses and have been running boats since childhood.
With an outstanding volume of consistently glowing reviews and a 2025 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award, guest testimonials repeatedly name specific captains — Dylan, Logan, Joe, and Chris — for patient, hardworking guidance with kids, along with scheduler Debra for exceptional, flexible communication even through multiple reschedules. One reviewer described catching fish while watching a rocket launch overhead — a genuinely unique Space Coast bonus.
For anglers and families near Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach, Florida looking for a highly reviewed, family-friendly offshore fishing charter, Fired Up Fishing Charters offers an outstanding, award-winning operation docked at Bluepoints Marina.
