Down Sea Charters is a fishing charter service based in Vero Beach, Florida, specializing in inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing excursions along the Treasure Coast. With nearly three decades of local experience, Captain Sam Atwell and Captain JP Granath offer expert guidance on some of the region’s most productive fishing grounds. The operation features two custom, professionally rigged boats—the Maverick 17 HPX and the Pathfinder 2700 Open—equipped to handle a variety of fishing conditions. The Treasure Coast is renowned for its diverse marine life, including species such as tarpon, snook, sailfish, and mahi, making it a prime destination for anglers seeking both challenge and variety. The charters cater to anglers of all skill levels and ages, providing tailored experiences that range from exploring mangrove-lined waterways to deep-sea fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. Inshore trips navigate the Florida Intracoastal Waterway, targeting species like snook, tarpon, redfish, and trout, while nearshore excursions offer opportunities to catch permit and tarpon near sandy beaches. Offshore adventures venture into deeper waters to pursue trophy fish such as sailfish, mahi, wahoo, and swordfish. The captains’ intimate knowledge of local ecosystems and fishing techniques ensures an engaging and productive outing, whether for seasoned fishermen or newcomers to the sport.
