My grandson and I had a great time. We caught a few fish but they were not big enough to keep. The captain did his best to put us on fish but they just wasn’t biting. He even gave us extra time to try and get us more fish but it wasnt to be. We reminded ourselves that it’s called “fishing” and not “catching!”

We had a great time with Captain Jason and his first mate! We caught some fish. Jason and his Dad were funny and just great and they tried everything for us to catch ‘bigger’ fish. Overall it was a great day and I would definitely always book with Jason again!

I went on this fishing trip with my son and had an awesome experience with Captain Jason and his first mate Randy, who is also his dad. It made for a really cool father-son, father-son trip that we both really enjoyed. We booked the charter specifically to go after sharks. Even though we didn’t end up landing one, Captain Jason worked incredibly hard the entire trip moving us between multiple spots and trying different approaches to get us on fish. Sometimes the fish just aren’t cooperating, but you could clearly see the effort and dedication he put in to make sure we had every possible chance. Both Captain Jason and Randy were friendly, knowledgeable, and great to spend time with on the water. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a good experience. It was a great father-son team and they made the trip fun and memorable for me and my son. I would absolutely book another charter with them again and look forward to coming back to try for those sharks another day. Highly recommend!

The captain was knowledgeable and personable, and the boat was well equipped for four anglers. We had great weather, but it was the captain who put us on the fish. We wouldn’t hesitate to charter with him again when we return to Cocoa Beach.

My wife, eight-year-old son, and I booked a three-hour guided trip with Jason, and it exceeded our expectations. His father joined us as well, and together they were outstanding guides—friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. My son had an absolute blast, catching 15 fish from five different species, while my wife and I each reeled in more than ten fish. Beyond the fishing, the experience was unforgettable. We watched a SpaceX booster rocket return, saw several dolphins swimming nearby, and even spotted a sea turtle. It was an incredible day on the water, and we highly recommend Jason to anyone planning a fishing trip to the Cape.

Kept us on the fish the entire trip and cleaned our catch afterward. It was a great experience.

Jason was a great captain! He baited and casted my line 95% of the time as im not an experienced fisher. Wish my Dad and i would have caught more fish, but we still had a great time! The only thing is that my dad and I thought we were doing “near shore” fishing meaning the ocean shoreline, not the port shoreline. As the website read they go up to 5 miles off shore. That’s why we took a 6 hour trip because we thought it would give us more time to fish in different places in the ocean. And that was not the case. We prepared to fish for bigger fish one finds in the ocean, yet since we were in the port, the majority of fish were small. A bit disappointing but I guess I should have confirmed this upon booking. Just note to those looking to book, confirm all of this before you book your trip.

Great fishing trip with my 23 year old son. Guide was very helpful and we fished a number of different spots. We had an interest in space and did a brief sight seeing tour to a Space X rocket. We caught a variety of fish including a 22 inch flounder and two mangrove snapper that we ate for dinner at Grills restaurant.

We took our boys 17 and 15 offshore fishing with Jay and Randy. The day was hot, but the Atlantic was calm and clear. We didn’t get into a mess of fish but we had some hits and ended up with a decent size Kingfish that will feed us for a couple of days! Jay and Randy made sure there were always lines in the water and would switch it up if we weren’t getting any hits. I can’t recommend these guys enough. They were great with the boys. Down to earth. Knew what the heck they were doing and easy to have a conversation with. When we come back to the area we will definitely be hitting ShayJay up again.

I booked this trip as a birthday present for my boyfriend. He loved it! We had to pull into the docks at one point because of lightning, but we went back out after a few minutes to let some of it pass. Mother nature does what she wants haha, so we didn't mind. My boyfriend caught lots of fish and our Captain kindly prepared one of the snappers that my boyfriend caught. We had a wonderful adventure despite the inclement weather.
