Island Fishing Charters welcomes you to a fishing trip in Florida full of fun and moments to remember. Starting out of St. Augustine, you and Captain Mike McGeehan will have a great time exploring beautiful and fish-rich waters not far from the shore. The captain will help you reel in various respectable species that can be found in the area and make sure you return home with fond memories. Pick your day and have lots of fun fishing!

Your ride to the fish will be comfortable on a 25' avenger by marauder marine that can fit up to 6 anglers. Powered by a 300HP 2019 Yamaha engine and equipped with GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology, twin powerpoles, and a 36v trolling motor the boat will provide a quick and safe reach to your fishing spots for a better fishing experience.

On your trip, you can target Redfish, Black drum, Trout, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, Flounder, King Mackerel, Cobia, and more. Using light and heavy tackle, you can try bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as fly fishing for your prey. If you want, you're free to keep the fish you catch. The boat's kid-friendly, so feel welcome to bring your whole family aboard.

Captain Mike will take care of the fishing tackle, bait, licenses, and will even clean and bag your catch for free. There will be plenty of extra cooler space with ice if youd like to bring whatever other beverages or snacks you might like while out on our trip.

Come spend a day with Island Fishing Charters and enjoy a great time fishing and exploring the beautiful estuary we get to call home.

    Caltain Mike does it right!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captiain Mike is an awsome dude, he has great gear, and takes the time to get the right bait. He is a great teacher to newies like me to saltwater. Most importantly he doesn’t get stuck doing the same thing he will change baits and change spots until he finds the fish. The morning started off slow but he kept trying to figure the fish out. We eventually figure the reds out ans absolutely crushed em. Me and my wife had a blast! Thaks Captain Mike!!!!

    Great day

    Half day afternoon trip on May 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    Excellent day on the water with an excellent guide. Capt. Mike put us on the fish. We caught several different species. 4 hour trip was perfect with not a lot of travel. I highly recommend Capt. Mike if you're in this neck of the woods.

    Awesome Family Trip w/ Captain Mike!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on August 12, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Highly recommend booking your next charter in St. Augustine with Captain Mike and Island Fishing Charters. Communication was great, easy setup, and everything was on-time and ready when we arrived. We opted for a half-day trip with 4 adults and 2 kids. Captain Mike was great with helping and getting us to where the fish were. We had an awesome time, and even ate our catch for lunch at The Conch House. 10/10, would book again, highly recommend!

    11 species including a 7.5 lb Flounder!!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on April 16, 2024 • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had 3 generations on the boat with Capt. Mike for our Florida trip this year, and Island Fishing Charters did not disappoint! Capt. Mike was great with the kids and got us into fish all morning. Everyone caught fish and we ended up with 11 species total, including a 7.5 lb flounder! Capt. Mike cleaned our keepers and we had Flounder, Pompano and Bluefish for dinner that night! Couldn't be happier with Island Fishing Charters!!
