"We had the MOST amazing day with Rogue Tide Charters and our boss captain, Michael! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made everything effortless and fun. He truly went above and beyond to accommodate every single thing we wanted - nothing was too much, and he anticipated what we needed before we even asked. The boat was spotless, so well thought out - everything you could want for the perfect day. Captain Michael is simply the best. Professional, fun, and just an all-around rockstar."

"Michael was a phenomenal captain for us, it felt like he was a part of the party!!"

"Michael was an amazing captain. Super helpful and fun to be around. Will definitely be booking with him next time we’re in town."

"We used Rogue Tide Charters as an excursion for my friend’s Bachelorette, and our group of 6 had the best time!!! From the moment I reached out, I knew I was in good hands. Prior to booking, they were super responsive, answering all of my questions and even recommending the best time of day for my group to go out, The day-off was perfect! Captain Michael was our captain and we literally didn’t have to worry about a thing! I would definitely use them again and would recommend to anybody!!!"


"I’m Captain Michael Lay, a native Floridian who grew up on the waters of the Indian River Lagoon here in Brevard County. After years of fishing these waterways daily and learning the tides, seasons, and local fish patterns firsthand, I turned my passion into a full-time career and earned my Captain’s license.
I specialize in private island tours and inshore fishing around Melbourne, Florida. Whether it’s helping a kid land their first fish, chasing trophy snook with experienced anglers, or just giving families an unforgettable day on the water, my goal is always the same: make sure every guest has a safe, laid-back, and memorable experience. With a background in marine maintenance and years spent on these local waters, I take pride in running a reliable, professional charter while sharing the places I’ve called home my entire life."
