El Cazador Fishing Charters
+13Head off on an exciting fishing adventure in Jacksonville Beach with “El Cazador Fishing Charters”! Anglers of all skill levels are in for a memorable day on the water with Captain Wayne Senteno. Fishing comes naturally to him and he’s been in these waters for as long as he can remember.
Enjoy a smooth ride aboard his 24’ Pathfinder bay boat, ideal for 4 anglers who all want to fish at the same time.

You’ll navigate the St. John’s River and inshore waterways within 10 miles to target the likes of Trout, Flounder, Redfish, and Sheepshead. On longer trips, you’ll head further out to hook the likes of Cobia, Kingfish, and Red Snapper!

There’s bottled water in the cooler already and you’re free to bring any other drinks and snacks you’d like. What are you waiting for? Hop aboard El Cazador Fishing Charters and cast your line in the rich Florida waters!

Captain Wayne knows his stuff!
Half Day Trip (AM) on January 18, 2025
Wayne is incredibly knowledgeable of the area, taking us to hidden gems where we immediately started hooking redfish. He was quickly responsive to any questions we had when planning the trip, and once on the boat, a fantastic source of knowledge and practical advice making our trip truly memorable. If you’re looking for a true local, with a ton of knowledge and a great attitude, Captain Wayne is your guy!

Half Day Trip (PM) on November 11, 2024
Me and my son took an afternoon trip and it was perfect. Wayne was so patient with my son and I and everything was great. We even found a wild sailboat, dolphins, caught a variety of fish. But there was one massive red that bent my hook, and i shall return to these water to claim my prize again soon!
