About Cast Away Adventures
Cast Away Adventures is a family-owned charter business running inshore fishing trips and wildlife tours on the Banana River Lagoon, departing from Kelly Park East on Merritt Island just 10 to 15 minutes from the Cocoa Beach hotels. Operating since the mid-2010s, it has become one of the area's most consistently reviewed small charters on TripAdvisor and Google.
Fishing charters run in two-hour and four-hour formats aboard a stable 26-foot catamaran-hull deck boat that carries up to six passengers, with fishing licenses, rods, reels, tackle, bait and an iced cooler all included. Two-hour dolphin and manatee tours cruise the same calm lagoon, and specialty outings include Port Canaveral lock tours and rocket launch viewing from the water. The lagoon holds more than 40 saltwater species, so light-tackle action suits kids and seasoned anglers alike.
The calm, protected water is Cast Away's biggest advantage: no seasickness, no long offshore runs, and plenty of wildlife within minutes of the dock. USCG-licensed captains with first aid and CPR certification, daily availability and same-day reservations make it an easy, flexible option for families staying in Cocoa Beach.
