About the Orlando Princess Fishing Fleet in Cape Canaveral

We have been several times and have had such a great time every time! The crew is welcoming and knows their stuff.

Was a great day on the water, Xavier, Alex, and Smiley were great men helping us out with sharing information and overall made the experience much better definitely recommend going there ago and felt like it was family they care very much about there fishing and want all passengers to have a great time, PS nobody listen to that J M guy lets not forget him flipping off a kid and acting like a child himself!! I wanted to shout out Alex, Smiley and Xavier one more time for the experience, great guys.

We had an outstanding experience on this fishing charter! From the moment we arrived, the captain and crew were friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome. They knew exactly where to find the fish and were always willing to help with baiting hooks, giving tips, and making sure everyone had a great time. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with quality gear. What really stood out was how hard the captain worked to make the day successful and enjoyable for everyone on board. Whether you're an experienced angler or it's your first time fishing, I highly recommend this charter. It a fun, relaxing, and unforgettable experience.

The crew on the boat was top notch. I had a great time and will be back again. I would recommend them if you’re unsure what fishing boat to get on.

Great experience. Crew did their best to put us on the fish. Very helpful

As always the crew, captain, and cook were top notch! I have been going on the princess since I was 15 years old and I have tried other boats, but the princess is the best! Friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, and the crew is always willing to go the extra mile to help you.

lit time

Great time. No one can guarantee catching fish but these guys will always treat you right.

Great crew, great fishing, heck of a time. Already booked a trip for tomorrow.

Read my full review—everything you need to know. I’ve now taken two full-day trips on the Canaveral Princess, so I wanted to write the review I wish I had found while researching the boat. Trip #1 The boat was clean, the crew was friendly and very helpful, the bathrooms were spotless, and the food was surprisingly good. As for the fishing, I’m a very experienced angler, and all I caught were three small grunts. It wasn’t just me—no one on the boat caught a keeper fish that day. The captain moved us about seven times, but each move was only about 50–100 yards, staying on the same reef. I genuinely felt like he was trying, but I expected more. I understand that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching, but after spending around $200 between the fare and tip, I left disappointed and told myself I’d never go on another head boat. A couple of weeks later, I was talking with some guys at my local tackle shop whom I trust. They told me they’d had great success on the Canaveral Princess and that I had simply hit a bad day. So I decided to give it one more chance. Trip #2 This trip was completely different. The fishing was outstanding. I caught several quality fish, including three keepers. It was the same captain and the same crew, but this time when the bite slowed, the captain made moves to different, deeper spots. He put us on fish, and many anglers around the boat caught keepers as well. The crew was once again friendly, hardworking, and helpful. The boat and bathrooms were clean, the chef was funny and personable, and the food was just as good as before. My Overall Opinion After two trips, I think I can give a fair review. You simply can’t control Mother Nature or force fish to bite. I still believe my disappointment after the first trip was justified—when you pay a charter to take you fishing, you naturally hope someone on the boat is catching fish. But after experiencing both extremes, I can honestly say that’s just how fishing goes. Some days everything comes together, and some days it doesn’t. Based on my experiences, I will absolutely book with the Canaveral Princess again. The crew works hard, the captain puts in the effort to find fish, the boat is clean, and the overall experience is enjoyable. Just go with realistic expectations, remember that no captain can guarantee fish, and focus on having a good time. When the bite is on, it’s an excellent day on the water. I’ll include photos from my last trip so you can see I’m giving an honest review based on my own experiences.

It was a good time, great mates. Fishing just wasn’t biting! That’s y it’s called fishing!
