Contact and booking details

The captains and current assignments

The service's background identifies Joey Spoerle and Billy Fazio as local captains. Joey served in the Coast Guard, while Billy worked in commercial fishing. The FAQ names Joey aboard Canaveral Kings and Billy aboard Sea K II.

The reservations page names Zach Raptoulis as captain of Canaveral Kings. That difference is a reason to confirm your assigned captain when booking. The company describes boats arranged so the captain can operate the vessel and help guests with tasks commonly handled by a mate.

Choose the right vessel

The reservations page lists Canaveral Kings as a 35-foot Duffy and Sea K II as a 35-foot JC. Both are advertised for six guests, with shaded fishing space, a restroom and cold storage. Their cabin seating arrangements differ.

CK Light is listed as a 23-foot Hoog Offshore for four people, with a sunshade, cooler, open bow and high sides. Boat capacity therefore depends on the vessel. Tell the company about children and any mobility requirements before it selects a boat.

Nearshore, shark and offshore trips

Nearshore trips focus on coastal water and may pursue tarpon, snook, redfish, cobia, king mackerel and other seasonal fish. The operator connects some coastal opportunities with the annual mullet run. Staying closer to land does not guarantee calm conditions.

Offshore outings work reefs, wrecks and deeper water for species such as mahi, tuna, kingfish, snapper and grouper. Shark charters have their own booking category. Extended fishing adventures of ten hours or more are advertised for anglers who want longer bottom-fishing or trolling time.

Prices and equipment

The trip overview gives starting prices of $500 for nearshore fishing, $550 for shark fishing and $1,000 for offshore fishing. These are entry prices, not a complete rate schedule for every vessel and duration. Ask for the cost of the exact package you select.

The FAQ lists bait, tackle, licenses, ice and fish cleaning as provided. Guests bring their own food, drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and suitable clothing. Major credit cards and cash are accepted. The site suggests a customary 20-percent tip for good service.

Booking a family or custom outing

The business welcomes children, but says their suitability also depends on sea conditions. Give the captains each child's age when discussing a family trip. Custom fishing and sightseeing plans can be arranged with advance notice.

Reach Canaveral Kings at 321-543-5109 or jspoerle@gmail.com. Confirm Cape Marina boarding directions, your vessel, captain, departure time and final price. The reviewed pages do not clearly settle deposit or cancellation terms, so obtain those details along with the operator's weather decision process before reserving.

Details checked October 11, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
