MORE ABOUT US
Navigating the Heart of Adventure
At Indian River Inshore Charters, this isn’t just a boat trip—it’s time well spent with someone who genuinely knows these waters like the back of his hand. With over 20 years on the Indian River Lagoon and near-shore flats, Captain Russ Glenn has built his reputation on local knowledge, instinct, and putting people exactly where the action is, whether that’s stalking redfish at first light or watching a rocket tear through the sky from the best seat imaginable.
Every trip is tailored—first-timers feel instantly at ease, seasoned anglers get straight to business, and everyone fishes from a modern 2022 Spyder Flats Boat built for comfort, safety, and shallow-water access. From chasing trophy fish to experiencing Florida’s legendary rocket launches from the water, this is the Space Coast done properly: relaxed, personal, unforgettable, and a little bit epic.

OUR TESTIMONIALS
Client's Feedbacks
After a few weather cancellations, we finally caught a small window—and it paid off. Took an old Queens neighbor and his son out and landed a nice snook right near the boat launch. Great day and great memories.

Came out for a 5 day fishing excursion with Capt. Russ, and I had a blast! We did 4 days on the flats—caught 9 reds, one being my largest ever at 40+ inches. One night trip aired one Tarpon and a few more reds.
He has a Bass Assassin addiction! Then one night Capt. Russ had a 25 lb Bonito itching to be cut and used up, so we did some beach fishing and caught a 5 ft. Bullshark.

I’ve fished with Captain Russ for years, and every trip is a great adventure. I caught my personal best redfish and several nice sea trout with him. He loves the early mornings—the “magic hour”—and between the sunrise and that first big bite, the magic is real with Captain Russ.
