Captain Jeff Ruppart
Join Captain Jeff Ruppart on a fly-fishing and light tackle charter on the grass flats and bays of the forgotten coast. Explore Apalachicola, Carrabelle, and Lanark village any time of the year. Your guide is a lifelong angler, who loves sharing his experience with other people. Whether this is your first time on the boat or you already have an admirable list of trophies, you’ll have a great time here.
You’ll be fishing on an 18’ Sea chaser that accommodates up to 2 guests. This flats boat is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and reaches the speed of 30 knots. Besides safety gear, the boat has GPS, a fishfinder, a live bait tank, and a cooler. Offering a safe and reliable ride, the vessel will take you to your fishing spot in no time.
Fly fishing is a unique way of fishing that requires patience and precision. No wonder this is one of favorite approaches for passionate anglers. There’s lots of species you can catch this way, from Redfish, Tarpon, and Tripletail, to Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and Spotted Trout. After the trip, the captain will clean and fillet your catch free of charge, so you can bring a cooler if you’re saving the meat for later, or go straight to a nearby restaurant.
All fishing equipment is included in the price, as well as licenses. Captain Jeff has been selling flies for over 2 decades, so he knows what’s the best equipment out there. All of this will be ready on the boat. You only need to pack some snacks, drinks, and sunblock.
Choose Captain Jeff Ruppart for your next fly fishing adventure!

Triple tail full day
Great time with Captain Jeff
We enjoyed a full day of catching fish with Captain Jeff! He was very attentive to all the details, always quick to help with any issues and kept us on fish all day. We probably never went more than 20 minutes without some action! We caught Trout, Redfish, Bluefish, and Ladyfish.
