Tony was great!! Extremely knowledgeable, we weren’t able to go on the out shore trip due to weather, but he ensured we still caught some flounder and jacks inshore. Overall great experience, would definitely recommend Tony! Definitely planning on going with him again!

Trip: Inshore Rod Bending Action
★★★★★
We had a wonderful trip with Captain Dan to lay my mother’s ashes to rest. Dan was very respectful, explained exactly what would happen and made sure the experience would be a beautiful memory for us. I’ll never forget the sight of the flower petals on the water and the dolphins in the background. Dan worked with our schedule to find a new time when the weather didn’t cooperate on our original date. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Thank you Dan!

Trip: Spreading Ashes In Saint Augstine
★★★★★
Captain Mike was awesome! He was actively watching the weather the week before and staying in touch with us. We decided to move the trip up a day to avoid 3-5 ft seas. We stayed out an extra hour even with the crazy cost of fuel right now. I caught 13 snapper alone and had 2 bites so big they broke the leader line. It felt like the rod was going to be the first to break. My friends loved the trip as well catching probably another 10 between them. We will definitely be back in touch with Captain Mike soon!

Trip: Inshore Charter - 26' World Cat
★★★★★
Great trip. They were fun and we caught fish! I would recommend for sure!
Sean M. | April 26, 2026

Trip: 4 - 6 Hour Inshore Trip
★★★★★
Not a good trip. Left feeling like a charter took advantage of tourist from out of state. Didn’t fish with li e bait, didn’t have options of fishing spots, and the last spot was refueling dock where boat was refueling while we were fishing. We could have fished off the shore without him at that spot.

Trip: Nearshore And Jetties

My wife and I had a great time with Capt. Mike and will fish with him again the next time we are in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine area. I've already recommended him to a few friends and I'm recommending him to you! :- )
