Down Sea Charters
Fishing charters based out of Vero Beach, FL
Ready to plan your next vacation? Book a fishing trip of a lifetime with natives Captain Sam Atwell or Captain JP Granath! We offer inshore, nearshore, and offshore trips.
Down Sea Charters provides trips on top-of-the-line, custom boats. We fish aboard a brand new Maverick 17 HPX and a Pathfinder 2700 Open, both professionally rigged for inshore, nearshore, or offshore fishing on the Treasure Coast.
The Treasure Coast offers some of the best saltwater fishing in the country. The Indian River Lagoon is home to over 700 species including speckled trout, snapper, grouper, snook, tarpon, redfish, and snook. Tarpon are common in the Indian River, and we can guide you to the best spots to find them. Known as the "Silver King," these large fish are a favorite among anglers, with the largest in the state weighing 243 lbs. Like sailfish, they thrive in warm water. The Treasure Coast is also most known for world class Snook fishing. Snook are prized as game fish, being known for their great fighting capabilities. They can be found inshore or nearshore and can grow up to 48 inches and 38 pounds. This region of the Sunshine State also lures vast populations of pelagic game fish, with Sailfish being the most prominent. The presence of a distinct underwater channel known as Sailfish Alley ensures that these agile billfish frequently visit the area. Whichever species you aim to target, Down Sea Charters will provide you with the best opportunity for success.
