Fun Coast Fishing wins 2026 Best of Florida Regional Award

Fun Coast Fishing, an Ormond Beach surf-fishing guide service, has been named a 2026 Best of Florida Regional Award winner. The recognition highlights the charter’s family-friendly pricing, safety standards and expansion along Florida’s Atlantic coast.

Why it matters: - The award gives Fun Coast Fishing added visibility in Florida’s competitive guided-fishing market. - The company’s family-first pricing model lowers the cost of bringing parents and children on the same trip. - The win reinforces demand for guided outdoor experiences that work for beginners, families and experienced anglers.

What happened: - Fun Coast Fishing, based in Ormond Beach, was named a winner of the 2026 Best of Florida Regional Award. - The charter focuses on beach and surf fishing trips along the Volusia County shoreline. - The business now also takes bookings at Cocoa Beach, extending its reach along Florida’s Atlantic coastline.

The details: - Fun Coast Fishing charges only the people who actually fish, even when the whole family joins the trip. - Each excursion includes professional guidance, fishing gear and access to local fishing spots. - The guide is certified in CPR, AED and First Aid. - Safety briefings are treated as a required part of every trip. - Fun Coast Fishing serves anglers from total beginners to seasoned veterans of surf fishing. - The business is veteran-owned and woman-owned. - Fun Coast Fishing holds memberships with the Florida Surf Casters, Salt Strong and the Halifax Sport Fishing Club.

Between the lines: - The award appears to validate a business model built around accessibility rather than just catch rates or high-end amenities. - Expanding into Cocoa Beach suggests Fun Coast Fishing is trying to capture more of the state’s coastal fishing demand without changing its core family-oriented pitch. - The combination of safety credentials and community memberships helps position the charter as both service-oriented and locally rooted.

What's next: - Fun Coast Fishing plans to keep expanding guided trips along Florida’s Atlantic coastline. - The company says it will keep the family-first pricing model at the center of its excursions. - Casey Liberto said the award reflects how the business approach has resonated with customers. - The company’s stated philosophy remains: “Life's More Fun, Under the Sun.”
