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!

Me and my boyfriend had always wanted to go fishing in the ocean and I am so glad we booked Jeff to take us out and show us how to fish in the ocean. We had such a great time on his boat with him and he's such a knowledgeable man. Not only did we fish until our hearts was content but he also took us to Dog Island, you can only get there by boat, and we did some swimming and shell searching. Such a beautiful location. And to top it off... I caught several sharks. I had always wanted to catch a shark... & pet it... & I did just that. 🦈 And the fish we caught, Jeff fillet them for us and we cooked them for dinner.. Mine and my boyfriend's expectations was beyond met with this Captain! And we are already planning our next trip to Carabelle and we will most definitely be booking Captain Jeff again!! If you are unsure of who to book for a charter - book this Captain!! You will not regret it!! 💯 Thank you Jeff for such a fun and memorable time. Can't wait to do it again!
