There's nothing quite like watching the sun melt into the horizon from the deck of a boat, and Captain Falon Morse knows exactly where to take you for the best show on Florida's east coast. This isn't your typical fishing charter – it's a laid-back 2-hour sunset cruise that lets you trade the hustle for some serious downtime on the water. Whether you've been battling fish all day or just need to escape the crowds, this cruise through New Smyrna Beach's inshore waters delivers exactly what you're looking for.
Captain Falon runs a tight but relaxed operation aboard his 21-foot Carolina Skiff – the perfect platform for cruising the shallow inshore waters around Ponce Inlet and Port Orange. This isn't about getting your lines wet; it's about soaking up those golden hour vibes that make Florida's coast so special. The boat's shallow draft lets you slip into spots where the big charter boats can't go, giving you front-row seats to some seriously stunning scenery. You'll cruise past mangrove shorelines where snook and redfish patrol the shadows, even though you won't be dropping lines. The ice and cooler are on deck, so bring whatever drinks and snacks make your sunset complete. With space for up to 4 guests, it's intimate enough for couples but roomy enough for small groups looking to unwind together.
The beauty of this cruise lies in Captain Falon's knowledge of New Smyrna Beach's intricate waterways. He'll navigate the shallow flats and deeper channels that connect Ponce Inlet to the Intracoastal, timing your route to catch the sun at just the right angle. These are the same waters where seasoned anglers target everything from tarpon to trout, but tonight they're your personal highway to relaxation. The Carolina Skiff's design makes it perfect for these conditions – stable enough to feel secure while sipping your drink, but nimble enough to explore the nooks and crannies that make this area so photogenic. You'll likely drift past oyster bars and grass flats where fish are actively feeding, giving you a preview of what brings so many anglers back to these waters day after day.
Even though this cruise focuses on scenery over fishing, you'll be cruising through some of the most productive inshore waters on the east coast. The grass flats and mangrove edges you'll pass are prime real estate for spotted sea trout, especially during the cooler months when they school up in deeper holes. These fish love the structure and baitfish that thrive in New Smyrna's brackish mix, making them a favorite target for light-tackle enthusiasts. Redfish are the other stars of these waters, with their copper-colored backs often visible as they cruise the shallows during low light periods. They're ambush predators that use the mangrove roots and oyster bars as cover, growing anywhere from slot-size to true bulls that can stretch your drag to the limit. Snook patrol these same areas, particularly around the inlet where fresh and salt water mix. They're notorious for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights, but they're also one of the most temperature-sensitive species in these waters, making timing crucial for anyone planning a fishing trip.
