Welcome to Daytona Beach!
We hope you’re having fun in Daytona Beach enjoying our world famous beaches and motorsports. If you haven’t discovered already, Daytona Beach also offers great fishing from inshore saltwater fishing on the Halifax River to offshore deep sea fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. Daytona Beach is also one of the best places to go shark fishing in Florida.

Just off the coast of Daytona Beach lies one of Florida’s most productive artificial reef systems providing great bottom fishing for Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish and Amberjacks all year long. The Atlantic coast off Daytona Beach also has plenty of rich opportunities for trolling and sight fishing for big predators like Cobia, King Mackerel and Barracudas. Nearby Ponce Inlet, Daytona’s gateway to the sea, is famous among expert anglers as a hot spot for catching monster Redfish, Flounder and Snook. If you want to catch Sharks on your charter, Daytona Beach has plenty! Shark fishing begins just off the beaches of Daytona Beach. Also near the shore are Pompano and Spotted Seatrout.

Whatever type of fishing you want to do, inshore river fishing, offshore deep sea fishing or if you just want to go shark fishing, Daytona Beach has it all and Floating Time Charters does it all.
