River City Charters welcomes you to Jacksonville, Florida. This city is home to an incredible year-round fishing adventure that attracts anglers from other states.

He fulfilled his dream of becoming a professional angler and now helps other people to make their own fishing dreams come true. Whether you're a beginner or a seasonal angler, this is a trip you won't forget.

You'll be fishing on a 20' Bayboat that accommodates up to 4 anglers. This bay boat offers a smooth, dry, and safe ride throughout the day. Having a shallow draft, the vessel can go to any spot you need in search of a trophy. She's powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and features everything you need equipment-wise for a successful day on the water.

There's a variety of fish species to go after and it all depends on how far off the coast you go and which technique you choose to use. Whether it's Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Trout, Black Drum, or Spanish Mackerel, you'll have lots of fun battling your catch. Deeper spots can bring you Kingfish, Red Snapper, and even Sailfish.

All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. Your drinks are also included and after the trip, the captain will clean your catch free of charge. Don't forget to bring your snacks and sunblock.

River City Charters hopes you'll have a great day on the water with them. Come as a client, leave as a part of the family.

Stop your searching, and book with River City Charters! (Travis)
Half Day Trip on October 24, 20252 adults

I highly recommend you book with Travis! He will from now on be our “go-to” anytime we want to go fishing or out on a boat. After I booked, I had several questions and Travis was helpful, responsive and friendly while addressing them. Day of - I could tell he had a lot of knowledge about the area, and I very much appreciated that he was willing to cater the day to what we need/want and ensure we had the best experience possible. Whether you are a beginner, or an avid fisher - he will adjust to you. I genuinely felt that he went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Not to mention, we caught a bunch of fish!

Captain is the man
Half Day Trip on March 20, 20264 adults

Travis is awesome and me and the boys had a blast fishing with him. Caught 3 studs and he fileted them for us. He was super knowledgeable and answered all our questions. If you have experience or no experience fishing it doesnt matter he will hook you up. He will let you bring any drinks or snacks you want. Next time we are in Jacksonville we will be fishing with Travis again. If youre on the fence look no further and book here.

Awesome Captain!
Half Day Trip on February 19, 20262 adults

We had a beautiful day on the water. Travis is such a nice guy and loves to fish which showed as he worked hard to get us on some fish. We didn't have luck at first but got on some big Red Fish that were a blast. We will definitely be joining him again for a day on the water and recommend him to our friends.

Rough weather still caught fish and had fun
Half Day Trip on October 9, 20252 adults

Travis worked hard to put us on fish. He had the bait on board when we arrived. We were catching fish within a few minutes of leaving the dock. Travis has worked most of his life on the water and knows the Jacksonville Fl waterways very well. He grew up fishing the St Johns. He kept the baits fresh and moved frequently to find spots. We had some serious wind to contend with and a storm system but still had a great time. Highly recommend.
