Down Sea Charters fishes aboard two top-of-the-line custom boats—a brand-new Maverick 17 HPX and a Pathfinder 2700 Open. Both vessels are professionally rigged with premium electronics and equipment, making them ideal for navigating the shallow waters of the Indian River Lagoon, fishing the nearshore reefs, or heading deep sea in search of trophy game fish.
The Treasure Coast is widely recognized as one of the premier saltwater fishing destinations in the United States. The world-famous Indian River Lagoon is one of the most biodiverse estuaries in North America, supporting more than 700 species of fish and wildlife. Depending on the season and conditions, you'll have opportunities to target prized species including snook, tarpon, redfish, spotted seatrout, snapper, grouper, black drum, sheepshead, jack crevalle, pompano, and more.
The Treasure Coast is especially famous for its world-class snook fishing. These hard-fighting fish thrive throughout the Indian River Lagoon, mangrove shorelines, docks, bridges, and nearby beaches, making them one of Florida's most sought-after game fish. Whether you're casting artificial lures or live bait, our experienced Captains know where to find trophy snook throughout the year.
If battling one of Florida's most iconic game fish is on your bucket list, our tarpon fishing charters offer incredible opportunities during the seasonal migration. Known as the "Silver King," tarpon are famous for explosive strikes, spectacular jumps, and unforgettable fights. With decades of local experience, we'll position you in the best areas to maximize your chances of connecting with these incredible fish.
For anglers looking to head offshore, our deep sea fishing charters explore the productive reefs, wrecks, and blue waters off the Treasure Coast. Target snapper, grouper, kingfish, mahi-mahi, cobia, wahoo, tuna, and other seasonal pelagic species. The nearby Gulf Stream and the legendary Sailfish Alley make this stretch of coastline one of the best destinations in Florida for sailfish, especially during the winter months when multiple hookups are common.
Every charter includes quality tackle, professional equipment, expert instruction, and local knowledge to help you catch more fish while creating lasting memories. Whether you're planning a family vacation, bachelor party, corporate outing, or simply looking for the best fishing charter on Florida's Treasure Coast, Down Sea Charters is committed to providing an exceptional experience from the dock to your final catch.
