About Us

Deep Sea Fishing Daytona Beach

The Sea Spirit is a cold molded, double plank mahogany, one-of-a-kind deep sea fishing vessel. Handcrafted by Frank Timmons and Bob Sherbert, the boat still sails from the very same marina where it was built years ago.

We have ample and comfortable seating around Sea Spirit’s entire exterior, as well as additional seating inside the air-conditioned cabin, and a spacious upper deck to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. There are two full private restrooms onboard. The vessel was repowered with twin Cummins Marine engines in 2025, allowing her to cruise at 17 knots quietly and with great power. There are over 100 years of combined experience and expertise among our friendly crew.

After working aboard the Sea Spirit for two decades, Captain Nic, along with his wife Haley, took ownership in 2024. “We are so grateful for the opportunity to carry on the legacy of this historic fishing vessel here in beautiful Ponce Inlet, Florida. As a family owned & operated small business, guests will be greeted with southern hospitality on the way to making memories of a lifetime out on the water!”

On behalf of the entire Sea Spirit team: Welcome aboard

Florida Has Some Of The Best Deep Sea Fishing Locations In The World!

If the thrill of fighting a big fish or catching a smaller one for a healthy, tasty dinner is what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place, because Florida has some of the best deep sea fishing around.

Florida’s waters are home to a wide variety of beautiful big game species. Your catch may include Amberjack, Barracuda, Cobia, Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi), Grouper, Kingfish, Marlin, Sailfish, Shark, Snapper, Swordfish, Tuna, and Wahoo. The Sea Spirit has an experienced, professional, courteous crew that will do whatever it takes to land you a trophy catch.

When you land that trophy catch the action can quickly become hectic, the last thing you need is an inexperienced crew. Big game action can cause rods to double over and reels to scream as line is peeled away, you need a crew that will jump into action quickly and have the ability to handle any situation that may arise when fighting these beautiful sportfish of the deep.

We provide state of the art rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice, fishing license, fish cleaning and a talented 1st mate to see to your every need. So come join us for an exciting day of deep sea fishing and leave the details to us!

With all the various types of sport and recreational fishing, deep sea fishing is an exhilarating experience. Taking place many miles from shore, where water is the only thing that surrounds you, this intrepid voyage encounters fish way larger than ones caught by the shore. Traveling out to depths of 100 feet or more, our Sea Spirit vessels are equipped with top-of-the-line gear to secure your trophy catch. Depending on our goal for the day, we’ll utilize several methods to bait, tackle, and lure the fish. We can utilize trolling by dangling the lines, chumming by throwing bait (either dead, alive, or artificial), and/or jigging by using baited lead weighted tactics.

Our gear includes but is not limited to: rods and reels, landing nets, buckets, pliers, binoculars, lip-grippers, rulers, basic tool kits, and life vests. With routine maintenance, our boats remain steady and resilient through the larger waves of the open sea. They also have air conditioned cabins to ensure your comfort and safety. Each package also comes with a complimentary Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) fishing license for every fisherman onboard. Select from our half day or full day public or private charter options to take advantage of all we have to offer.

Every journey at sea is different and dependent on a number of factors – the weather, bait and fishing tactics used, along with the time of year. For instance, some trips might witness Amberjack, Barracuda, Cobia, Grouper, Marline, or Kingfish, while others may come across Sailfish, Swordfish, and Snappers, including Dolphins, and Sharks. Therefore, although we cannot always guarantee you will land a catch or which fish you’ll specifically see, we can assure you that you’re bound to see something incredible no matter what. Remember to bring an ice chest large enough for your catch. Gutting and cleaning your fish onboard is optional. However, we do provide step-by-step guidance if needed.
