Escape the hustle and bustle of city life by spending some quality time on the water. Captain Michael May has over two decades of experience and will show you the best places to catch the most fish.

You will spend the day aboard a 17’ Mitzi skiff. This beautiful boat can fit 3 anglers fishing at once without crossing lines.

You just need to decide how you will cook it. It is advisable to have a cooler in your car ready to take the fish home in.

Kids of any age are welcome on board. Capt. Michael has life vests for them, and they are sure to go back to school with some great fishing stories.

All rods, reels, lures, and bait are included. You will need to bring a packed lunch, and if you fancy drinks other than water than that too. Parking is available at the marina and Capt. Michael will cover the parking costs for you.

So what are you waiting for? Book today and have a great adventure with XScape Fishing.

"Couldn't think of any other place I'd rather be than on the water. It's my passion and I enjoy sharing it with others." My favorite places to fish are the flats and creeks of St. Augustine and Palm Coast FL.Captain Michael May loves to catch Redfish, any other fish that will give him a good fight on the line. He started to fish as a kid, and has loved it ever since. You will have a great time fishing with Capt. Michael.
