Bart, I need a high-resolution, vibrant image that captures the essence of a thrilling offshore fishing adventure. The image should feature a group of anglers on board a boat, reeling in a catch or celebrating a successful trip.

Our Awesome Charters

Half-Day Fishing Adventures

Can’t spare an entire day but still want to wet a line? Our popular half-day fishing trips are perfect for the angler on the go. Choose from a 4-hour morning trip from 8am-12pm or an afternoon charter from 2-6pm.

Either way, you’ll get plenty of fishing action inshore or nearshore.

Extended Angling Adventures

Can’t decide between a half-day or full-day charter? Our 3/4 day trips offer the perfect middle ground.

Spend 6 hours from 8am-2pm or 2pm-8pm exploring our bountiful inshore and nearshore fishing grounds.

Full-Day Adventure Marathons

If you want to maximize your time on the water, our full-day charters can’t be beat.

An 8-hour trip from 8am-4pm gives you and your crew ample opportunity to reel in a cooler full of fish while hitting up proven honey holes.

Spectacular Sunsets on the Water

Some of the best fishing happens in the evening ‘red’ hours around dusk.

Book a romantic 3-hour sunset fishing trip from 5-8pm to take advantage of this daily bite window.

You’ll create lasting memories while watching a beautiful Florida sunset on the water.

Relaxing Sunset Cruises

Not interested in fishing, but still want to enjoy the Amelia Island waters? Join us for a relaxing 3-hour sunset cruise from 5-8pm.

Sit back, take in the sights, and let us do the work as we cruise the local coastline and inlets.
