Our captain will teach you if you have little or no experience fishing on a boat. You'll learn how to bait hook and use tackle, rods, and reels. We will show you fishing techniques that work. We enjoy teaching beginners and seeing their reactions after catching their first fish. We've helped novices become steady anglers.

An angler is a person who fishes with a rod and line.

If you already know how to fish, we can take you to areas to catch the kinds of fish you want and fill up the fish box. We also help experienced anglers learn new techniques or adjust to fishing in Florida waters. Visit our Cape Canaveral Fishing Charters page for details about our lengthier trips that you may prefer.

Catch and release means that after catching a fish and taking a picture if you want, you release it unharmed back into the water. We’ll show you how to catch and release safely.

When you catch inshore fish with TAC Adventures, they are catch and release only. Still, our crew is conservative. Even if you can take a fish legally but will not eat it, we prefer you take a photo with your catch before safely releasing it into the ocean.

Game qualities include a fish species characteristics, food quality, status, speed, stamina, aerial acrobatics, size, or how unpredictably it may fight in attempts to catch it.

Visit our What You Might Catch page for information on the food quality of specific fish you may find and catch.

We welcome children. Our owners have young children and understand concerns you may have for your child’s safety. Life jackets are onboard and required for kids under the age of 16. Consider your child’s age, interest, and stamina for a two-hour fishing trip. A fishing charter is not appropriate for young children in strollers.

TAC Adventures' boat and staff meet all U.S. Coast Guard requirements. Additionally, our captains are first aid, CPR, and AED certified. We have onboard a first aid kit, an automated external defibrillator, and an Advanced Life Support bag.

If you often get seasick, TAC Adventures owner, Terence, recommends what he has been doing for 15 years. The night before your charter, take drowsy Dramamine. Then two hours before your charter, take non-drowsy Dramamine. He says you won’t feel seasick at all.
