Meet the Captain
Growing up in a fishing family, with the love of being on the water, and a NAVY veteran. Captain Snoke started fishing offshore with his dad and grandfather, at an early age. After serving in the NAVY, Captain Snoke started working on charter boats, out of Rudee Inlet in Virginia Beach for tuna, marlin, mahi, mako sharks and wahoo. I have been fishing guiding anglers of all skill levels, since 1993 up and down the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. If you’re looking for a fun time on the water, give us a call.
FAQs
-
Less than ideal weather does not permit cancellation. Your captain is responsible for safety & decides when the weather is unsafe to go. In Florida, predicting the weather several days out is almost impossible. If conditions are unsafe, we will try to reschedule your trip or cancel your trip without penalty.
-
We suggest bringing a hat & sunglasses, drinks, water and snacks in a small cooler, and weather appropriate clothing. Please NO glass bottles or spray sunscreen.
We will provide the bait, tackle, fishing license & fish cleaning services.

If this is your first time going offshore in a boat, then it is recommended that you take Dramamine to avoid motion sickness. It is best to take a half dose the night before your trip & the other half the morning of your trip.
Eating something light in the morning of your trip helps a lot too. Like a piece of toast or small sandwich.
