Joseph Sanchez, Captain at RocketCityCharters

RocketCity Charters, led by Captain Joseph Sanchez, offers exciting fishing adventures in Merritt Island, FL. Whether you prefer river fishing, flats fishing, inshore fishing, or backcountry fishing, this charter has you covered. The diverse range of fishing techniques available includes light tackle, trolling, heavy tackle, and even fly fishing if you bring your own gear.


The local waters around Merritt Island are home to a variety of species, making each trip a thrilling experience. Among the commonly targeted fish are Spotted Seatrout, Bull Shark, Snook, Speckled Trout, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Black Drum, Redfish, Tarpon, and many others if you're lucky. Trolling with light or heavy tackle is a popular method used during these trips, ensuring you have a chance to reel in some impressive catches.


RocketCity Charters welcomes families and encourages kids to join in on the fun. Just make sure to inquire about child-sized life vests or bring your own to ensure everyone's safety. It's also a good idea to pack snacks to keep everyone happy and satisfied throughout the day. Captain Joseph operates a 17’ Hewes flats boat that can accommodate up to three passengers. The boat is equipped with all the necessary fishing essentials, including rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Live bait is also provided, but it's best to confirm if it will be caught during the trip or if it's already on board.


One of the conveniences of fishing with RocketCity Charters is that your fishing license is covered. All you need to do is show up and be ready for a fantastic time on the water. It's important to note that certain species may have special regulations or limited seasons, so don't hesitate to ask Captain Joseph for more information. To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable outing, remember to bring non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and bottled water. While the charter provides some drinks, you can inform the captain if you prefer to bring your own. Moderate alcohol consumption is allowed, but it's advisable to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles for safety reasons.


If you're looking for an unforgettable day of fishing, treat yourself to a trip with RocketCity Charters. Captain Joseph Sanchez's expertise, the stunning Merritt Island location, and the abundance of local species make for an incredible fishing experience that you won't want to miss.
