Daytripper Marine is based in Jacksonville Beach and offers memorable fishing experiences in these waters. Captain Dave has been fishing the Jacksonville area for over 30 years and knows the best spots to catch local fish.

He'll do his best to ensure you have a fun day on the water. The 4-hour trips primarily target Redfish, Seatrout, and Flounder, depending on the season and conditions. You can expect to use techniques such as light tackle fishing and jigging. Fishing around structures and drop-offs along the Intracoastal Waterway and St. Johns River is Capt. Dave's specialty.

Your fishing adventure starts aboard a 22' NauticStar boat that can safely accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children. The boat features a large T-top, high sides for added safety, and a 200 HP Suzuki engine.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price, so you can focus on what really matters: fishing. Your trip also includes all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. Adults and children are welcome aboard Daytripper! Capt. Dave will even fillet your catch for you to take home.

The boat will be stocked with drinks for your enjoyment. Be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or would like to bring your own beverages.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Daytripper Marine. Don't forget to pack your sunscreen!
