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. For more information and links to local offshore and inshore fishing captains and guides, visit the Canaveral Charter Captains Association's website at fishingspacecoast.org  or the Indian River Guides Association's website at irga.org

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. However there are licensing requirements regarding the species of fish you are fishing for, regardless of where you are fishing.  For more information on freshwater or salt water fishing requirements visit the Brevard County Parks and Recreation's website.
