Space Coast Fishing

Florida's Space Coast is Florida fishing at its best!  Whether you're a salt water enthusiast or fresh water, you'll love the fact that you can fish year round and that our area is the home to an excellent fleet of sportfishing charter boats and Port Canaveral is considered to be one of the safest ocean inlets on the east coast. 

Want to go it on your own?  That's perfectly fine.  We have more than half a dozen public boat ramps, 72 miles of public beaches, several public piers, several places to rent a boat for the day, week or even month and free permits for deep sea and fresh water fishing.
