Cocoa Beach provides a fantastic launch point for exploring both the rich waters of the Banana River and the abundant Atlantic Ocean. In the Banana River, you can expect exciting action with Snook and Redfish, especially around the mangroves and oyster beds. A short run offshore from Cocoa Beach opens up a world of opportunity for species like Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, and Amberjack on the numerous reefs and wrecks. During the right seasons, we can chase fast-moving Wahoo and King Mackerel, or even target Sailfish and Mahi-Mahi on a full-day charter. Let us guide your fishing adventure out of Cocoa Beach.
