Florida - East or West?

We are looking at taking in an offshore fishing trip (trolling), during our hols to Orlando (mid October). Particularly looking for tuna, spanish mackeral, wahoo, baracuda (shark would be a bonus), or any of the big game fish. Ideally looking for fish that will give us a good fight.
I have been looking at charters out of Tampa, Clearwater & Port Canaveral, and have a preference for Port Caneveral due to closeness to Orlando, and the boat charters are quite a bit cheaper than on the west coast.
Will Port Canaveral give us the best sport during this time of year.

I will have my two sons with me, both have no experience with offshore fishing, I have had some experience, but no expert, any boat recommendations would be appreciated.

TIA

Do you have a budget for this trip?

Prices seem to be averaging $700 to $750, this would be my budget.

The reason I was asking is that there are a few larger sportfishing boats in the area, but their rates are well over a thousand per day...
