Captain Austin Funk will cater to all different ages on a fishing excursion in Jensen Beach, Florida. He grew up in Florida and has spent most of his days fishing more than doing anything else.

Your meeting point is the Jensen Beach boat ramp and you’ll be pleased to hear that there is a free parking nearby. Capt. Austin can do a boat pickup if you are close to this location.

Austin will provide your Penn and Star fishing equipment and water, your fishing license is covered, so you only need to bring some snacks.

I have grown up in Stuart, Florida and currently live in Jensen beach near the water. Just being close to the water most my life started my passion at a young age and once I got my first boat ( a15' Boston whaler) the addiction became real! There’s so much more to fishing and exploring new places while on the water and maybe even finding a new fishing spot! I’m always welcome to share my knowledge and all I know to my clients to help ensure they leave after their day of fishing fulfilled!
