Sam and his team at Down Sea Charters were terrific. Booking was easy and Capt Sam is a wealth of knowledge about the area. He is friendly, patient and perseverant- one of the best guides we've ever had. A perfect blend of sharing info about the fish and the area and getting us to do some great fishing! His boat and equipment are pristine. I highly recommend Down Sea Charters and now I have to go because my son is obsessed with catching more snook!

Sam in hopes to bring home some dinner…read more We're not foreign to the water or fishing, but needed a solid refresher to get the cobwebs off. From early in the booking process to when we first stepped on the boat, Capt Sam was extremely knowledgeable about what was biting, areas to fish up and down the intercostal, all while educating on technique & the local environmental factors at play. The entire charter Capt Sam was engaged and kept the vibes light & positive throughout. We ended up landing a few keepers (2 Pompano & Trout) and several smaller species like jack & pinfish. Capt Sam also provides some great advice on cooking up the Pompano after providing some nice fillets. Overall, if you're looking for a seasoned guide that is knowledgeable, good natured, and experience a awesome day on the water with one of the top flats boats on the market then you're in for a treat with Capt Sam. great day and will be back for another round.

Karen's Kayaks My only disappointment about Karen's Kayaks…read moreis that I didn't find it sooner. We've been visiting Satellite Beach for more than a decade and I never thought to look up Kayak tours until recently. We had a great time with Karen. We choose the Crane Creek tour leaving from historic downtown Melbourne. It ended up being a manatee/dolphin/alligator watching tour that was worth double or triple what we paid ($40/adults and $25/children). This wasn't a private tour, but Karen took care to make sure I was able to keep up since I am a newbie at kayaking and I was doing it with my daughter in the kayak with me. Karen is very knowledgable about the area, great at teaching kayaking skills without making her unskilled guests feel foolish and good at working with all experience levels. We enjoyed our day with her and were sorry when it was over. I can't wait to go back.

Karen runs a fantastic guide and rental service and is an incredibly gracious, experienced and…read moreknowledgeable guide. I will absolutely book with her again the next time i am in Melbourne. I can't recommend her highly enough. I was here on business and had limited schedule flexibility but she readily agreed to a custom evening paddle for me and 3 companions who had never kayaked before. She planned out a route that would be appropriate for their skill level and still have a chance to see as much local wildlife as possible. When 2 of my group backed out after testing out the boats and deciding that kayaking wasn't for them and the 3rd opted to wait, Karen was generous enough to still take me out on my own. She knew the details of the local flora and fauna and every segment along of the route where manatee, alligators, and other wildlife often could be found. She's incredibly personable and very patient and clearly so respectful of the river and surrounding environment. We stayed out for over 2 hours but she will tailor the length of the outing to whatever is right for the group she's dealing with. Her equipment is in excellent condition and well maintained, and the whole experience is feels totally professional, safe, and best of all, loads of fun. Definitely check out her trips if you're looking for a great paddling experience no matter your skill level.
