Big Easy Fishing Charter

The Big Easy Fishing Charter is run by Captain Terry out of a dock on Indian River Drive in Sebastian, offering private offshore trips aboard a boat named, fittingly, the Big Easy. Captain Terry has been fishing these waters for fifty years according to the charter’s own description, a level of local experience that matters quite a bit when a captain is deciding where to put a boat on any given day based on tides, wind, and season.

Trips are capped at six passengers, keeping things private rather than mixing groups of strangers onto the same boat, and the charter targets a genuinely wide range of offshore species including dolphin, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, grouper, snapper, cobia, and sharks, with bull sharks specifically called out among the shark fishing options. That range of targets means the trip can be tailored to what is running at a given time of year rather than being locked into chasing a single species regardless of conditions.

Pricing is structured around trip length and how far offshore the boat runs. Reef fishing out to about ninety feet offers a half day option at five hours for one thousand twenty five dollars, a three quarter day at seven hours for one thousand two hundred twenty five dollars, and a full day at nine hours for one thousand three hundred ninety five dollars, while deep water trolling and drop fishing beyond a hundred feet runs one thousand four hundred ninety five dollars. Shark fishing charters are also available in seven and nine hour formats for anglers specifically chasing that experience.

All trips are described as all inclusive apart from a tip for the first mate, and passengers are welcome to bring their own cooler with food and drinks, including alcohol, which is a detail worth knowing ahead of a long day on the water. With trips running as long as nine hours and covering serious offshore distances, this charter is built for anglers who want a real deep sea fishing day rather than a quick nearshore outing.

The charter maintains a Facebook page and has reviews on Tripadvisor for anyone who wants to read about other anglers’ experiences before booking, and reservations go through Captain Terry directly by phone or email. Operating out of 1606 Indian River Drive in Sebastian, The Big Easy Fishing Charter is a solid option for visitors and locals alike who want a genuine offshore fishing trip with a captain who has spent five decades learning these waters.
