Half- and full-day inshore charters leave from Fernandina Beach / Amelia Island and cover Nassau Sound, the Amelia River, and nearby backcountry. Trips run 4–6 or 6–8 hours and cover 15–30+ miles of productive water based on tide and conditions.

You’ll fish our 2024 Mamba 227VX with a Mercury Racing 300R—fast, stable, and set up for skinny water with a Power-Pole and modern electronics. Soft drinks, water, and ice are provided. Most trips are run solo.

Every charter is customized around the day’s conditions and your goals—redfish with topwater and plastics, mixed bag of trout and flounder. Local knowledge of tides, bait, and seasonal patterns keeps us on fish.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
