The Fired Up Fleet

When I first started Fired Up Fishing Charters, we had a center console twin-outboard “go-fast” boat. It was fun, but I quickly realized it wasn’t the best fit for families with kids. Shade was a must in the Florida sun, a restroom was a must for women and children, and we needed big coolers for drinks, comfortable seating, and plenty of room for fish.

That’s when I found the Stuart Angler—the perfect charter fishing boat for the Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral area. At 33 feet, she provides lots of shade, a smooth ride, and all the comfort families want on a fishing trip. I loved it so much that we now have four identical Stuart Anglers in the Fired Up Fishing fleet!

Why Our Boats Are Perfect for You:

• Plenty of Shade – Stay cool under the Florida sun.

• Onboard Restrooms – Convenience for kids and families.

• Smooth, Comfortable Ride – No pounding or slapping waves, just a steady “plow” style ride.

• Big Coolers & Fish Boxes – Keep your drinks cold and your catch fresh.

• Powerful Yanmar 440 HP Turbo Engines – Efficient and reliable for every trip.

We don’t just stop at comfort—we also focus heavily on safety. Each boat is equipped with an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) and modern navigation electronics. As a firefighter, police officer, and Navy veteran, safety and attention to detail are my top priorities.

Every year, our fleet goes through a full overhaul to ensure they’re in top shape—because you deserve the very best for your fishing adventure.

Fun Fact: Each of our boats is “themed” after my careers in firefighting, law enforcement, and the Navy. Check out the back of each boat on the See More… link below!

Join us aboard one of our awesome boats for the trip of a lifetime—where comfort, safety, and unforgettable fishing come together.

The Captains

At Fired Up Fishing Charters, our captains aren’t just crew—they’re family. Over the years, we’ve built a team that works together seamlessly, and it shows in every trip we run. There’s no “I” or “you” here—it’s US, it’s WE.

Fishing isn’t just a job for us—it’s our passion. Each of our captains has been running boats since childhood, and every one of them holds a U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License with years of professional experience on the water. We live this life daily—from sunrise to sunset—because we love what we do.

Why Our Captains Stand Out:

USCG Licensed & Experienced – Safety is always our top priority.
Local Knowledge – We know these waters inside and out.
Passionate & Personable – We don’t just put you on fish, we make it fun.
Team Spirit – We work together to deliver the best possible charter experience.

Running fishing charters isn’t always easy, but it’s always rewarding—especially when we see the smiles on our guests’ faces as they reel in the catch of a lifetime.

When you book with Fired Up Fishing Charters, you’re not just getting a captain—you’re getting a dedicated team that’s committed to safety, professionalism, and making your day on the water unforgettable.

Come fish with us and experience what makes the Fired Up Fishing team so special!

				Fired Up Fishing Charters Had an awesome trip with Captain Joe! He knew exactly where to take us to catch fish, and we ended up with a few Mahi to boot. Captain Joe was super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience a blast. Highly recommend booking with CPT Joe if you want a fun and successful day on the water!

				What a great time! Capt. Bear was awesome! It was a slow start, but Bear knew exactly what he was doing and just like he said, once it gets going, it won't stop.  He was very informative which was great, even for us who have no experience at all. When we booked, Debra was super helpful and thorough. We knew exactly where to go, what do do and bring, which was nothing! They had everything ready to go for us. Definitely can't say enough about this trip, will definitely book again.

				Girls trip... shark fishing It was my first time fishing out on the ocean and it sure did not disappoint.  We caught 7 sharks in about 3 hours.  Dillon was a great captain  he answered all our questions and was a great teacher.  It was steaming hot but with the ocean breeze and covered area on the boat it was not bad.  I will definitely be back. Maybe the off shore fishing trip next.

				We had a fantastic time with Fired Up Fishing Charters and Captain Bear on Under Fire! Although the fishing was slow that day, which is just part of the nature of fishing, Captain Bear still made it an excellent experience for our family.



He was professional, welcoming, and clearly knows his craft. We only had one solid bite, but it was a memorable one, a big nurse shark that gave us an exciting fight and a great story to take home. The boat was clean and comfortable, and Captain Bear kept things fun and engaging throughout the trip.



Even on a slow fishing day, Captain Bear delivered a top-tier charter experience. We’ll definitely be booking again the next time we’re in town. Highly recommend!
