Bailey's Charters
There's not a better way to enjoy your time in Florida than being on the water. This way of living is in the heart of Bailey's Charters and Captain Stephen. Whether you're here to catch some fish, find a new waterfront restaurant, or simply relax with your loved ones, you'll find all of that here. With a year round fishing season, any time is a good time for fishing.
Capt. Stephen welcomes you aboard his 25' Sea Born boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. Powered by a 300 HP Mercury Verado engine, this center console will take you where the fish are with speed and ease. She's always ready for catching fish, as she's equipped with a live bait tank, a cooler, a wireless trolling motor, and navigational electronics.
Most of the fishing will be just off the beaches, mangrove shorelines, nearshore ledges and reefs, and out to 25 miles to offshore wrecks and live bottom/reefs where we will be fishing in 75' of water. You'll use high quality Daiwa Saltist and Shimano spin reels, spooled with the industry's best braid and topped off with 100% fluorocarbon leader. Free lining live bait, bottom fishing, float rigs with shrimp, and jigging are the most reliable way to get hooked up on out local fish.
Your fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. As an extra treat, the captain cleans and fillets your catch after the trip, free of charge. Ask him to recommend a great dockside restaurant and head there for a feast! You only need to bring food, drinks, and sunscreen for your trip.

We had an amazing time on our private charter out of Jacksonville! Captain Bailey was an incredible captain — professional, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable the entire trip. He knew exactly where to take us, and his experience on the water really showed. The boat was clean and well-kept, and the whole experience felt safe and fun from start to finish. If you’re looking for a private charter with someone who truly knows the area and makes the trip enjoyable, I highly recommend booking with Captain Bailey. We’ll definitely be going out with him again!
The captain was extremely friendly knowledgeable put us right on the fish and was very helpful with my son. Definitely would recommend this trip for anybody looking to have a good time and catch fish
the captain worked hard to get us on the fish. was very hot this day but he found the fish. tha captain was very laid back and nice guy..would recommend to otbers . needed plenty of water and sunscreen
Captain Steve gave us a fantastic fishing experience! He taught us a lot about fishing for sea trout, snook, and redfish. And he was fun! He didn’t yell or cuss at us if we lost a fish, which I have experienced before. He also cleaned our fish when we got back to the docks. We had an incredible six hour adventure! Can’t wait to call Captain Steve again!!
Thank you Kyla for the great review, I appreciate it! Yes, NO. swearing ir getting mad at the customers trying to fish and learn hiw to catch our fiah here! That is just not excusable. Had such a great time with you and your Mom and boyfriend. Hope to take you all out again. Captain Stephen Bailey
My 3 brothers and I went out for a 6 hour near shore trip with Captain Stephen. Stephen was an excellent captain. He gathered plenty of bait at early as 4:30 in the morning to fill his live well with bait for our 8 am trip. We caught our limit of mangrove snapper and captain spent an hour filleting our fish at the end of a long day.
Great day, and thank you very much for booking a charter with me! lots of delicious Mangrove Snapper, fun to catch and even better to eat. Glad you and your brothers had a great time. Capt. Stephen Bailey
