Meet the Captain
Captain Richard Ladrew
Captain Richard has spent his whole life around Sebastian Inlet, and it shows. When you take a trip with him, you're heading out with someone who knows every flat, channel, and tide shift like the back of his hand. He will put you on local favorites like Snook, Redfish, Trout, Snapper, and even Tarpon when they're running, all while teaching techniques that work for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.
Trips are relaxed, safe, and built for families, kids, couples, and small groups. Richard brings the gear, the know-how, and the local insight - so all you have to do is show up and enjoy a great day on the water.
About Captain RichardThe Fishing
Sebastian Inlet Fishing with Zookeeper Charters
Sebastian Inlet fishing is known for its productive waters, changing tides, and year-round opportunities to target popular coastal species. Anglers fishing this area focus on Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snapper, Tarpon, Mackerel, Sheepshead, Flounder, Black Drum, and seasonal Shark action, depending on conditions.
Sebastian Inlet fishing hotspots include inlet mouths, bridges, sandbars, and nearshore structure where bait concentrates with moving water. The best Snook fishing in Sebastian Inlet often lines up with strong outgoing tides, while Redfish and Trout are commonly found along calmer shorelines and grass edges.
Successful Sebastian Inlet fishing depends on reading tides, wind, and seasonal patterns — making local knowledge a major advantage for consistent results. When you fish with Captain Richard, you get the benefit of years spent learning these waters.
Memorial Charters
Ash Scattering at Sea
When a family wants to return someone to the water, we would like to be the captain they call. A private two-hour charter from Sebastian Inlet for up to six guests — out past the three-nautical-mile line federal law requires, engines off for as long as you need, and a printed certificate with the GPS coordinates afterward so there is a place to come back to.
Bring readings, music, photographs, fresh flowers or your own officiant. Some families want a full service on the water; others want ten quiet minutes. Captain Richard follows your lead. Veterans and their families are always welcome, and flag honors can be arranged.
$500 — two hours, up to six guests, private charter. Funeral directors and crematories are welcome to call directly and we will coordinate with you.
