Media Inquiries
Cape Canaveral Fishing Charters was part of a business born more than twenty years ago after founder traveled the state(s) fishing and meeting guides and charters captains along the way. Only to realize they had no benefits, organization or security as a fishing guide. “It amazed me that they all have so much passion for what they do, but never knew where or when they would get another trip. That your only resource was the guide-owned websites and testimonials on review sites that were out of date,” said Founder, Todd Kersey. Often times, we found the guide’s boat was broken or in the shop, or the guide was not as qualified as they make themselves to be. He realized very early that the majority in the industry had no security, just a tremendous amount of passion for what they do. Fishing guides are amazing, without knowing them they make you feel safe, secure and many times become friends for life after one trip.

Vetting Guides
In order to hire guides, we had to create a multi-step process that includes but is not limited to:
- Meet with the guide face-to-face, not via video chat, in order to get to know them as a person.
- We look to understand what drives their passion for the work they do, and how we can help.
- Ensure they believe in conservation and preserving the great outdoors for future generations.
- We verify credentials: Are they insured, bonded, and have a captain’s license? Correct coast guard certifications? Equipment?
- Do they have the experience needed to be great at what they do?
- We talk to previous customers: How did they like their trip? How would they rate their experience?
- We complete a detailed background search.
- As a leader in the industry, we have to understand their reputation and reliability.
- We heavily rely on our other captains: Would you send them business if you’re booked? If we had a group charter, would you call them?
- Finally, FFN management goes fishing with each them but we ever send the first customer.
