Captain Mike Gerlach Jr, the proprietor of Kraken Down Charters, hails from Melbourne Beach, FL, where his deep-rooted connection to the local waters of Sebastian Inlet began. Raised amidst the rich fishing grounds of the area, Mike's formative years were spent exploring the flats of the Indian River Lagoon and the tumultuous currents of Sebastian Inlet. As he matured, his love for fishing expanded beyond the shallows, leading him offshore to pursue his passion for trolling and bottom fishing. With a US Coast Guard license and comprehensive insurance, Mike ensures the safety and satisfaction of his clients as they chase after trophy fish. His dedication to angling excellence is matched only by his academic achievements, having earned a degree in Ocean Engineering from the Florida Institute of Technology in 2008. Beyond the confines of his charter boat, Mike's affinity for the ocean permeates his leisure time. Whether riding the waves on a surfboard or delving into the depths for spiny lobster, he finds solace and excitement in the myriad activities the coast offers. Growing up on the Space Coast instilled in him a perpetual thirst for aquatic adventure, ensuring that his life is always intertwined with the rhythms of the sea.


Two immaculate 29-foot center console boats await boarding at the marina adjacent to Mulligans Beach House Bar and Grill in Sebastian, FL. From this strategic location, anglers can swiftly access prime feeding areas for Snook, Trout, and Redfish just minutes away from the dock. Moreover, a brief offshore journey opens up opportunities to target a diverse range of prized species including Grouper, Snapper, Mahi (Dolphin), Wahoo, Kingfish, and Sailfish. Depending on the specific trip and season, anglers may also opt for deep-water excursions targeting Grouper and Tilefish.
