We planned a trip to Daytona and everyone wanted to fish again. This is our second time with Ponce Inlet. We arrived on time met with our Captain and... read more crew, Captain Ingraham and Gina. We started out and it was wonderful as usual. Found a spot to fish and we fished and fished some more. Sister caught the first one, and son caught several, grandsons also caught some. Some of us didn't but it's alright. Everyone didn't want to bait the hook so Gina helped them. I started to bait my own then my sister did it was great. After we fished we did some island hopping, we wanted to find sand dollars which we didn't, lots of sea shells. Overall great day we had a lot of fun. I'll always recommend Ponce to everyone that stays in or near Daytona. Thanks again Ponce for a wonderful time. The Westphal Family …
Under new ownership. I worked for this company for 5 years &was let go after having my child &refusing to work off the clock. I loved my job there. I... read more was really good at it. Never had any counseling or complaints about my performance. Was actually told many times I was the best at the job. Both eco tours &fishing, though fishing was my passion. I was wrongfully terminated via text message over retaliation &standing up for myself. Then laughed at by the manager with her new mates about how "they are so glad im finally gone." I was extremely loyal to this company, only called out sick maybe 2xs in a 5 year time span. This company has a high turnover rate on employees because of poor management/scheduling. The managers are alcoholics &it shows in their work ethic. Drinking before taking 32 people on a boat shouldnt be heard of in this business but its a sad reality. As their longest standing mate, it was difficult working with new captains every couple months, but I did so because I cared about my returning customers that I built relationships with over the years.. If they valued their employees &didn't let any joe shmo with a captains license take people out I would maybe still recommend them, but they Literally let a captain ride along 2xs then turn over the wheel. Ive had to help captains not beach the boat, not wreck into seawalls... I've personally been thrown into many scary situations because of this, but still kept my cool. Noone on the boat knew, keep a smile on your face &bring them all back safe... they just care about the money they will take you out in the worst conditions so do your own research on weather before going. They choose employees are based on looks/popularity &who will hang with the crew &drink after hours. Be very cautious. I'd only ride if captain doc were driving, knowing he will be sober &has the most experience driving these vessels. Don't bother on weekends or holidays as ponce is stacked with boats of drunks &the likeliness of seeing dolphins/manatees is minimal.

I was in the area back in November and found the backwater fishing trip and thought I would take it. Saw mixed reviews on it and I am really... read more glad I took the chance because it was really amazing. I signed up as a single and was added to a small group. The captain who took us out was patient and very good at finding the fish. We had 2 folks that had never fished before and he was amazing as to how he instructed them and they had a blast. We were out 4 hours on a beautiful day and caught trout, whiting's, grunts, among other types of fish. The boat had all the gear you needed along with a nice cover to keep the sun off of you. You just bring water and snacks if needed. The captain cleaned the keepers and gave it to us. Our group took the fish to the restaurant next door who cooked it up for us. I will definitely do this again when I am back down in the area.

My husband and I booked their private charter boat for four hours for my birhtday with our two kids (11 and 8). We always book with Ponce Inlet Watershots as... read more they are simply the best!! We had Captain Danielle this time who was a fountain of knowledge. Danielle gave us loads of interesting information about the wildlife, eco system and fish. We had an brilliant time (as always) and highy HIGHLY recommend Danielle as a captain. She took us to several different fishing spots and my husband caught a huge bonnet nose shark. As you can see from the photo, we are all very excited about this catch! Thank you Captain Danielle for a brilliant day and thank you Ponce Inlet Watersports for always providing excellent customer service and a professional fun experience. We loved it so much we have booked two more 4 hour fishing trips this holiday!

My wife and I scheduled a paddle boarding trip through Lucy at Casa Del Mar with Brian and we didn't find out until we arrived at 9:30am that it... read more was going to be a "booze cruise"! Yay! Vacation! Brian was absolutely the most fun tour guide and we will definitely be scheduling another tour in the future! This was my first experience paddle boarding and it was so easy. I only fell off once! Thanks Brian for the awesome time!
We were told to be there half an hour before but there was no reason for that. Everybody else on the boat arrived at about 3 minutes if... read more even that until it was time to leave. The trip wasn't worth the price we paid. Be aware there is no bathroom on this boat. The trip is only about 90 minutes but when you have little ones they seem to just have to go right then and there. Thankfully ours didn't do that but one child had to. This trip was not all hyped up to what it was to be. The crew we had were very friendly and knowledgeable.
We loved the dolphin/manatee tour it was awesome they really go into detail about the history of the area and you will see a lot of wildlife! It was well... read more worth the drive and the money for this tour! They have awesome ice cream that you just have to try while waiting on departure! They do ask that you arrive early in order to allow time to check in and park. We werenât disappointed definitely make a day of it while youâre down there as there is plenty of other things to do as well once you leave the tour! The lighthouse and the restaurants are definitely worth it I would do it again!

Went on a 4 hour backwater fishing trip with Captain John. Great time. Fun and very informative. We made it easy for him as we fish... read more alot. but he was right there with the bait and new hooks. Being from CT when it hit 75 degrees and raining Captain John had to put his raincoat on and my son and I had alot of fun razzing him. We caught a bunch of fish saw some manatees and dolphin even helped save a baby turtle. Was a great time will decently be back next time we are there.
We had a party of 8. Check in was extremely easy. Very friendly and Captain and first mate were very informative and friendly.
First off, you have a real treasure in Captain John! He was awesome, funny, informative, he was great with my 2 and 7 year old! He MADE our... read more trip! We did the two hour private charter for backwater fishing and it was fun!
We started off by applying sunscreen to my son which âburnedâ his eyes. John immediately swung over to a sand bar and told Aiden to Cannonball off the boat and swim for a bit to clean his eyes.
He then took us to his secret spot where we caught 4 different species of fish. Without batting an eye made sure everyone was having a great time even the two year old when she got fussy. We never waited to have baited hooks and he didnât say a word when I caught a few â tree bassâ.
We ended our two hours with sand dollar hunting on a sand bar. He even rushed us back to dock so we could beat a storm that was rolling in.
This trip was amazing and a heck of a value compared to ever other charter service I priced out. You canât go wrong with these people!
Thank you again, we are already planning our next trip for next year!
Had a great time, family of five. Caught well over 10 species of fish with some nice keepers. My oldest daughter caught a shark and a ray,... read more I landed a 4lb Bluefish. Captain John was great, put us on fish quickly and kept our teens entertained. When all was done, he cleaned the fish introduced us to Joey his pet egret (lol). The kids loved it all, got to catch fish, see dolphin and sea turtles, maybe a manatee. I would highly recommend this group. We've been here twice and they are 10 on the fun scale.
My family and I went on the echo dolphin tour then the next morning we went on the back Waters fishing charter. Captain Doc and Gina were the best, they... read more were outstanding. We saw a lot of dolphins and different wildlife during the dolphin tour and caught a bunch of fish during the fishing charter. I highly recommend to anyone looking into the dolphin tour or charter.
Gina is amazing and so much fun.
The price for both the dolphin tour and fishing charter are well worth the money.
Thank you Captain Doc and Gina for an amazing time and we are definitely coming back again very soon
