Trip - Port Orange Florida Offshore Fishing Charters | 4 Hour Offshore Charter on July 1, 2026

We had a great time with Captain Aaron!! Everyone caught fish. My granddaughter was very apprehensive about going out on the ocean but she was completely at ease and had a wonderful experience. We appreciated the fact that he went over all the safety and emergency protocols. We would definitely go out with Captain Aaron again!!

We had a amazing time with Captain Aaron today! He was professional, easy going and great with the kids, showing them how to cast and how to reel in the fish and making sure everyone had the opportunity to make good catch. We were able to fish in three different spots and got a wide range of different fish, from small size to sharks. We saw dolphins, manta rays and ended the trip with a close view of hungry pelicans. Highly recommend this experience!

Had a really great time taking my son out for his big 13. Captain Aaron put us right on the fish. But more than that, he made sure my son had the best time possible. Great captain. Great boat, awesome day.

We originally booked an offshore trip, but the weather kicked up, so Aaron helped us switch to a nearshore outing the night before. It worked out perfectly. We landed two sharks, then headed into the Intracoastal for a couple of hours and caught a mix of different species. Aaron even cleaned our shark and pointed us to a spot where we could have it cooked for lunch, so everyone got to try shark steak. An excellent morning on the water with Aaron.

We booked a 4-hour trip, and Captain Aaron made it fantastic. It was a birthday surprise for my husband during a quick Florida getaway, and Aaron went out of his way to make it special. The ride out was full of great views, good music, and an all-around fun vibe. We caught several different species of fish and even spotted a giant sea turtle and some dolphins along the way. He also kept an eye on the weather and adjusted the trip to make sure we stayed safe and comfortable. We had a great time and will definitely book with him again!

We initially booked a 4-hour offshore trip earlier in the week, and Aaron was great about staying in touch and suggesting a better day for weather and fishing conditions. My wife and I brought our 8- and 4-year-old sons for their first time fishing from a boat, and Aaron was hands-on the whole time, helping the kids (and us!) whenever we needed it. He also made sure we didn’t miss the dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees we spotted along the way. We had a great experience and would book with Top Notch Adventures again without a second thought.

We had an amazing trip with Captain Aaron at Top Notch Adventures. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he was patient, friendly, and great with our two kids. He kept them involved and having fun the whole time. He put us on fish right away, and when we wanted to chase something bigger, he knew exactly what to do. He even took extra time to teach our son how to cast and work a lure properly, which was a highlight we’ll all remember. If you want a guide who knows the water, works hard, and genuinely cares about your experience, Captain Aaron is the one. We’re already looking forward to our next trip with him.
