About Your Trip

Join Captain Steve for an unforgettable inshore fishing adventure in the scenic waters of St. Augustine. With over a decade of experience, he knows these estuaries, tidal creeks, and oyster bars like the back of his hand, giving you the best chance at hooking into redfish, spotted seatrout, and flounder. Whether you're an experienced angler looking for a challenge or a beginner hoping to land your first catch, Captain Steve will tailor the trip to your skill level and fishing goals.

You'll be fishing aboard a 23’ Pathfinder bay boat, a top-tier vessel designed for navigating St. Augustine’s shallow waters. Equipped with a trolling motor for a stealthy approach, this boat is built for inshore action and provides a comfortable ride for up to four guests. With 4-hour and 6-hour trip options, this charter is a great way to spend quality time on the water with family or friends.

Captain Steve provides everything you need, including rods, reels, tackle, and artificial lures. He’ll also have bait, ice, bottled water, and all necessary fishing licenses ready for the trip. At the end of the day, he’ll even clean your catch so you can take home a fresh fillet dinner.

All you need to bring is food, drinks, sun protection, and weather-appropriate clothing. Whether you're sight fishing for cruising redfish, working the flats for trout, or targeting flounder along the oyster beds, this trip promises an exciting day on the water in one of Florida’s most beautiful inshore fishing destinations.
