Checkmate Fishing Charter

Join Captain Nathan Brady and the Checkmate Charters crew for an unforgettable fishing experience off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida! Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced angler, they offer the perfect trip tailored to your needs, ensuring a fantastic day on the water. Specializing in both nearshore and offshore fishing in the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, Checkmate Charters is your gateway to exciting adventures with a personal touch.

Every trip is private, meaning you get the captain’s full attention, making the experience ideal for families, groups, or individuals looking for a more intimate outing. With trips designed for beginners and seasoned fishermen alike, Captain Nathan will personally guide you through his fishing techniques, ensuring you have the opportunity to learn and fish at your own pace.

The fishing boat, a custom 34' Stuart Angler offshore sport fishing boat, was restored in 2020 for your ultimate comfort. This vessel is perfect for anyone looking to fish in style and ease. Equipped with all the tools necessary for a successful day on the water, the boat has a 450 HP Cummins 6CTA engine, ensuring fast and comfortable travel to your fishing grounds. It can accommodate up to 6 anglers and features modern navigation electronics, a fly bridge, outriggers, downriggers, a livewell, and an ice-box for storing your catch. Plus, a private toilet is available for your convenience!

On nearshore trips, anglers will target a range of species such as sharks, Red Drum, Stingray, and more. Head further offshore to battle it out with some of the Atlantic's most prized pelagic fish like Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Barracuda, Tuna, Grouper, Amberjack, and more. Whatever you catch, you're welcome to keep it, making this a great way to stock up on fresh fish for dinner!

For your day on the water, all you need to bring is food, drinks, and your personal gear (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses). Children are welcome, so it’s the perfect outing for families, but please note that infants are not allowed, as they must be able to fit into a life vest. To ensure your trip goes smoothly, a 15-20% gratuity is customary for the captain, and the team asks that no glass bottles, hard liquor, or spray sunscreen be brought on board.

Before your trip, you'll receive a call between 5-8 pm the day before to confirm everything. So get ready for a fun, relaxing day on the water with Checkmate Charters – your perfect fishing adventure awaits in Cape Canaveral!
