Nelson’s Nautical Charters 

Captain Steven is the best - just ask any of my kiddos :) He took us and our little pup on an awesome half day of fishing and boating! Within 5 minutes of reaching the first fishing spot we all had caught something. We caught numerous species of fish including sheepshead, snook, snapper and more. Captain Steven also brought us to a shelling island for us to explore and swim while he filleted and bagged our “keepers” to be all ready for grilling. While arranging our trip Captain Steven responded to all my emails right away and was even able to find a different boat launch to meet us at that was closer to where we were staying. We will definitely book another trip next time we come down. Thanks for the great day and tasty fish!

What an awesome day out on Captain Steve's Sea Chaser! He took us to some hot spots and can't believe the wide variety of fish we were able to catch. Captain Steve provided an excellent experience for the group of 4 of us. He was very accommodating as well as knowledgeable. He provided great tips and made our 5-hour fishing experience on his fantastic boat a memorable one. We definitely want to come back to Nelson's Nautical Charters!

The captain was very accommodating to our wants a needs and was awesome with our daughter! We had a blast and we highly recommend!

Capt Steve did an amazing job. He took us to several different spots for different kinds of fish. We caught a trout, blowfish, catfish, and snapper. We were also able to see manatees and dolphin. He did a wonderful job of keeping fresh bait on our lines and getting the fish off the line. We had a small child with us and he was very patient with him as well. Would highly recommend this trip. Will definitely book again.

Captain Nelson was awesome! The boat was great, and everything went perfectly. The above fish I caught was a 21 inches and 5 pound red drum. My brother and dad also caught a few catfish and 5 snappers. By the end of the trip, we had 5 edible Fish ready to filét, which the captain did as well. It was a very relaxing and fun day, definitely recommend captain Nelson to anyone looking for a fun and eventful fishing trip!

Beautiful morning fishing with Steve, caught several small ones.. I think I might of had Moby Dick on my line but he got away 😁. Yep

Had a great time. My kids loved catching all those fish. Captain Steve stays out in the water until the time your charter is scheduled til. Not back at the dock like other charters. Good dude and my family enjoyed the day. That’s what is important.

Fantastic experience, Steven was patient and helpful. And patient. :) We had a great time and caught a lot of fish. Highly recommend for first time fishers like us! Will definitely book again soon!

We had a great time. Captain was knowledgeable about the fish and local wildlife. We had a great experience. We come back again. Todd Mickler

We had an excellent fishing trip with Nelson’s. Our captain was on time and very friendly, genuinely caring if we had a good day or not. We launched from the dock and the boat was comfortable and spacious. We had room for our food and drinks, and our captain made sure our seats were dry from the nights rain. We were fishing in less than 15 min from launch and had snappers on in no time. He had both live and frozen bait and plenty of poles rigged. We moved from the snapper spot after a while and quickly found mackerel trolling. After catching quite a few there, we hit a reef or two and had more fish on. Overall, a great charter and a very friendly captain. Would highly recommend and would book again.
