SeaCo Fishing Charters – Offshore Action Out of St. Augustine

If you're chasing big fish and bigger fights, SeaCo Fishing Charters is where your offshore adventure begins. Based out of St. Augustine, FL, Captain Ricky brings years of experience and deep local knowledge to every trip, with a focus on trolling for pelagic predators like Wahoo, Mahi, Tuna, Cobia, and hard-hitting Kingfish (Mackerel).

Raised on the Atlantic and fishing these waters since his teenage years, Capt. Ricky knows where the action is and how to put you on the bite—whether you're a seasoned angler looking for your next trophy, or just want a day packed with adrenaline and tight lines.

You'll fish aboard 'Rock Bottom', a fast and spacious 31' Contender, built to handle the bluewater with ease. Outfitted with radar, top-tier safety gear, and all the tackle you need, this boat is all about performance and serious fishing.

Charters include:

Offshore trolling for Wahoo, Mahi, and Tuna

Beach trolling for Kingfish and Cobia

Bottom fishing for Snapper, Grouper, and more

Families, first-timers, and hardcore anglers are all welcome. Kids love it, and we make sure everyone has a great time. All rods, reels, bait, licenses, and a cooler with ice are provided—just bring your food, drinks, and the will to fight something with fins.

Seasonal opportunities vary, so get in touch with Capt. Ricky to time your trip right—especially if you're after a specific species.

Let's get out there and catch something worth bragging about.

Great trip with Captain Rick
8 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore on May 30, 20263 adults1 child
Captain Ricky kept us informed about the weather as the trip approached and called us the night before to let us know we were good to go. The trip was fantastic and we caught at least 20 fish. Captain Rick was super helpful and knowledgeable. He did a great job cleaning the fish and making sure we had a great time.

Capt Rick is Amazing
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore on March 20, 20264 adults
the conditions on the water was not in our favor with high winds. Capt Rick did everything he could to try and catch fish. Capt Rick is knowledgeable and had a great personality. even though we didn’t catch anything we still enjoyed ourselves. I would book Capt Rick for another charter.
