About Your Trip

If you’re looking for the softest, driest riding center console boat for your St. Augustine fishing charter, you’ve found it!

Head out with Captain Scott to experience world-class fishing in first-class style. Scott is dedicated to providing you with an exciting, fun, safe, and comfortable trip filled with unforgettable memories. One trip with him and you’ll be hooked!

This 12 hour trip provides ample time to run 50+ miles to “the ledge” where the bottom
drops off quickly from 200 to 2,000+ feet of water. Hands down the best fishing grounds off the coast of St. Augustine.

Prices include fuel, ice, bait, rods/reels, tackle, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning at the end of your trip. You only need to bring your food and drinks.

No matter which duration you choose, Captain Scott's 27-ft Center Console built by top-tier custom builder, Southport. Thanks to its incredible hull design and 9’6” beam (full foot wider than most boats under 32-ft), it’s the softest riding, driest, and roomiest boat in its class. She’s powered by twin 250hp Yamaha 4-stroke engines (think quiet, and no oil or gas smell like 2-strokes and diesels) that push her along at 55+ mph. Yes, she is easy on the eyes, but the greater beauty is found in how she handles the open ocean.

Why Choose Captain Scott? Let us count the reason:
1. More Fishing Time
His 27' Southport cruises at 30-35 knots, getting you on the fish fast. Thanks to his Rhodan GPS trolling motor, he can anchorlessly keep the boat stationary with the click of a button, and can easily move spots if the bite is cold, wasting no time at all. His high-res CMOR Mapping chip has helped us amass hundreds of great spots.

2. Family Friendly
As a father of two young children who love to fish, Capt. Scott knows how to keep kids having fun and catching fish all day long. A primary reason Scott chose his 27’ Southport was to ensure his own kids feel safe and comfortable when going offshore with him.

3. Comfort
In addition to the boat’s soft, dry ride, you’ll be spoiled by his e-Sea Rider bean bag chairs and Sea-Deck cushioned floors whether you’re sitting or standing. The massive 11 ft. T-top provides tons of shade, and the step-down bathroom (head) has 6’ of stand-up clearance.

4. Flexibility
While it is always the captain’s call regarding whether sea conditions are safe enough, it’s important that you enjoy your fishing charter. If conditions are “safe” but rough, Captain Scott will find a better day to take you or issue a refund. He watches the forecast closely and communicates early, often, and clearly.

5. Exceeding Safety Standards
Captain Scotts #1 priority is safety. In addition to all Coast Guard required safety gear, his boat is equipped with a Coastal Commander life raft, Furuno radar, a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), 3 VHF radios (1 handheld) with GPS and Distress buttons.

6. High-Quality Gear
Like his boat, his fishing gear is of the highest quality as well. From the Star Rods and Shimano & Penn reels, down to Yo-Zuri fluorocarbon leaders and Mustad circle hooks - everything on his boat is top-notch. Scott spares no expense to ensure your adventure is amazing.

Independent Guide
Captain Scott has been fishing the waters in and around St. Augustine since age 12 when his family moved there in 1992. Already an avid angler, Captain Scott hit the water daily in his 13-ft boat to fish the canals and ICW. Having moved to Orlando for college, Captain Scott was eager to return to St. Augustine to start his own family after earning a bachelor's degree in economics and marrying his wife, Lauren. Many of Captain Scott’s favorite memories, both as a child and as a father, were made on the water. “That’s what our charters are all about: helping others make memories and enjoy those same amazing experiences I’ve been so fortunate to have.”
