From the Helm
“Aloha — I'm Captain Rick. Welcome aboard your yacht for the day. We bring your dreams of an offshore adventure to life, safely. You'll feel inspired, relaxed, and rejuvenated.”
— Captain Rick · with First Mate Max

Rick runs every charter himself out of Port Canaveral — reads the weather, finds the fish, and keeps it safe and easy so the only thing you manage is your own good time. First Mate Max keeps the deck humming and is a favorite with first-timers and kids. Guests rate them 4.9 out of 5 across 48 trips.
