About
We are located in beautiful Port Canaveral, Florida. We’re a short 45 minute drive from Orlando, and less than 30 minutes from the cities of Melbourne, Titusville, and Cocoa Beach. Fun, friendly, and relaxing offshore guided fishing trips are the specialty of OFishal Business Charters. We offer a wide variety of Port Canaveral & Cocoa Beach fishing excursions, for a wide range of hefty, hard fighting, ocean sport fish, including dolphin (aka mahi mahi or dorado), cobia, grouper, kingfish, wahoo, snapper and much, much more. We also offer longer trips to the “Other Side” of the gulf stream in search of large Yellowfin tuna and blue marlin, as well as specialty trips to the Bahamas. OFishal Business has two boats to choose from; our 40′ Black Watch “OFishal Business” which is an air conditioned custom Sport Fisherman and our 32′ Stuart Angler “OFishal Business II”. We fully cater to corporate clientele, experienced and novice anglers and especially to families. If you’re in Orlando for a work convention, an OFishal Business charter is a great way to build relationships with customers and reward employees.

Booked two boats, one with my family and another for a bunch of dads. Both groups had a blast and the captains were awesome. Ours even dropped off my portable speaker at the hotel 20 miles away after I left it on the boat. They filleted most of our fish and we took the softball team out to dinner at Grills where they cooked our catch.

The other day a group of friends and I went on the 4 hour close to shore fishing trip with Captain Alex. We all had an awesome fishing trip! The weather was just perfect, the fish were biting every time we threw a lure in also landed a few sharks (they put up a good fight), and Captain Alex was great he was a knowledgeable fisherman, we all had fun, also a very good fishing value ratio for the money. After our very successful trip, we docked the boat where he cleaned all of our fish and iced them down for us to take home. I highly recommend O Fishal Business Charters and would use them again for future fishing trips. Thanks Captain Alex !!!!!!!!!

What a great time we all had a fantastic fishing trip! As the other reviews stated, Captain Alex was a great tour guide, very informative and accommodating for my family fishing trip. This will become a yearly tradition for me and my family for sure. Also the fishing trip is such a great value for the money. We will definitely return too and recommend Ofishal Business Charters to everyone. We took plenty of pictures of the catch my family will have lifetime of memories, we caught a cooler full of fish!!! Captain Alex was super friendly and went out of his way with everything. I have been on the crowded party fishing boats before - this was so much better absolutely Ofishal Business Charters is the way to go fishing.

Booked a trip for my wedding weekend as a bachelor party fishing trip. Originally booked an inshore/near port fishing trip for my wedding party. Alex contacted me the day before the trip and convinced me to upgrade to the offshore more expensive trip to catch cobia and possibly see some shark. Arrived at the dock at 7AM and noticed right off the bat there was no 1st mate (first charter trip without one) and I had no clue who the captain was. He was not any of the captains listed on the website. We leave dock and on the way to catch some mullet for bait he throws an empty red bull case overboard (no wonder this port is dirty). After grabbing some ice and getting a few mullet we head out for our 5 hour offshore trip. Out of the 5 hours we spent about 15 minutes with 2 lines in the water. The rest of the time was spent "looking for rays". I had a bad feeling from the start, they had no backup plan (no bottom rigs at all setup) and not a care in the world that we wouldn't catch anything. This was the most expensive boat ride I have ever been on. So beware if you book a trip here you will probably get sub-leased to a captain that doesn't work for them or have a care in the world about their reputation and the success of their customers. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Thank you for the review. Paul our option to you for the half day was to run 32 miles out to a wreck so that you could catch Amber Jacks. We discussed this the night before your trip and that is when you informed me that you didn't want to venture out far into the Ocean because YOU WERE GETTING MARRIED THAT NIGHT and didn't want your wedding party to get seasick! I explained to you that this was the best option for everyone catching large fish. I also explained that Shark fishing was extremely slow and that if you didn't want to go out of sight of land that Cobia fishing may be our best bet with the winds and water temperature that we had and that it COULD be good! I'm sorry you were disappointed in your trip but when YOU limit us to where we can go to catch fish it makes it very difficult on our end.

We ordered the Groupon discounted price which described our trip as a "nearshore" trip where common catches were jacks, snook, tarpon, etc. We aren't inexperienced fisherman, so this sounded like an excellent trip at a great price. The captain was pleasant at first, but when we got on the boat I was surprised. My first red flag was that we were using very small sized Penn Fierce reel and rod combos that were so corroded I would of thrown them away if they were my own reels, the rods were missing guides as well. They were also spooled up with ancient monofilament line that had a lot of memory that wind knots were common. This was my first red flag We stop at a bait shop and he buys shrimp and informs us we will be going for pinfish and if we're lucky small snapper. I assumed we were just attempting to get some live bait so we didn't complain and anchored up, after about 45 minutes we asked when we were going to actually start fishing for gamefish. The captain then informed us that our trip was just this, to catch these baitfish. We had to plea with him to take us up the beach to try to get a real fish in the boat. So he takes us and anchors off the beach for more small surf fish species, ones I can catch on my own. We sat for about an hour and then headed back to the inlet, there were small privately owned boats anchored on the north jetty consistently catching large reds and snook, so we asked if we could try the same. So we anchored for the remainder of our trip and caught one very small grouper while the other anglers were catching their large reds and snook. The captain was a nice guy, but the oversized boat for the type of trip, awful gear, and also the false advertisement of what we purchased made this trip a disappointment. Look elsewhere for a charter.

I thank you for your review but I am confused as to when you fished with us and who your Capt. was. Please call me to discuss this so that I may be able to help you. 321 223 3474 Regards, Capt. Alex Sorice

Bought this trip months ago on an Amazon deal. Unfortunately our first attempt had to be canceled by captain Alex due to the unseasonal high seas of 5-8 foot. The rescheduling went smoothly and we took the trip late June and were lucky to have 1-2 seas this time.
The 32' open fish was fast and more than comfortable for our party of six. We cruised what seemed about 5 miles from the port and began trolling.
Fishing was slow at first but the next thing I knew captain Alex was handing one my party a seriously bent rod with the line screaming off the reel. After about what seemed to be a 10-15 minute fight a 25 pound King Mackerel was flopping around on the deck. Cool! I did not realize that game fish fish this size were lurking that close inshore. The first catch was shortly followed by another bent rod, more screaming line and another 25 pound King Mackerel was jumping around in the cooler. We then had a third big hook-up shortly after the second but unfortunately that one bit through the wire leader and will live to fight another day.
After quite a lull and toward the end of the trip we finally hit a double header of Bonitos in the 15 pound range. These proved to be quite the fighters and a work out to reel-in but unfortunately of no food value, except for maybe the sharks.
Overall all six of us had a great time as evidenced by the smiles on the run back to the port.
I would do this trip again but would consider a longer trip with more fishing and travel time available.

This was a Nearshore trip with my wife and my two 5yr old twins. Capt Danny called us the night before to explain that he had to make a quick repair to the livewell in the morning and will have a slightly later start time, which was not a problem for us. The Boat has lots of shade and has a very fishable design all the way around. The fishing the day we went was about as tuff as it gets, 4hrs with one bite at the very end and that fish missed the hook. Capt Danny tried several spots throughout the day but we just couldn't get on the bite. He did a good job entertaining my 5yr olds by netting sea grass and letting them explore all the sea life that lives in it. Which they enjoyed alot. We also got to see a sub leaving the inlet which was neat. It sounded like other captains where not having much luck either that day. That is just the way it goes sometimes. Nice boat, good equipment, good effort. I am willing to give them another try if we make it down again.

Captain Alex took our family out on a near shore charter. It was rough seas and the wind was blowing pretty hard. Even with the poor weather, he was able to find some fish for us to catch. We caught five different species of fish including a shark!!! Captain Alex is very friendly and is also very knowledgeable about the different species of fish. We all had a fantastic time and have walked away with some awesome family memories. We will definiatly use Ofishal Business Charters again.
Thanks Captain Alex!!!!

Captain Alex is top notch, and knows his fishing. We had 6 of us out to catch Cobia. It was a beautiful day, and we brought in some nice fish. I would highly suggest looking into a day on the water with Alex. You will not be disappointed!
