35+ years fishing Mayport and Jacksonville “Private Jacksonville & Mayport fishing charters for families, beginners and experienced anglers.” Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Stewart knows them forwards and backwards.
These waters are known for Flounder, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your vessel for the day is a 23' Carolina Skiff that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Lydia PetrilloseRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBuddy is a GEM in a sea of charters
Full Day inshore/ offshore on January 10, 2026 • 2 adultsWe showed up bright and early and buddy was already there to greet us with everything we need. He got us RIGHT on the fish and we were catching them in no time! He took time to help teach us and really seemed to love what he does. It's like fishing with a friend! We got a ton of fish and had an amazing time! Highly reccomend :)

5 Hour Trip on November 6, 2025 • 4 adultsCaught some real monsters. only thing that would have made rhe day better is if it was red snapper season so I could have kept that baby and fed a family of 20
Ashley Maharaj5.0VerifiedCaptain Buddy
5 Hour Trip on September 27, 2025 • 4 adultsFor my husband Birthday we booked woth Captain Buddy. Our first time and let me say it was the best experience we ever had. There will be more trips in our future. Captain Buddy knew the best spots to catch fish. Also very kid friendly. Captain taught our son how to fish and by the end of the trip our son was doing his own thing and caught 5-6 fishes all by himself. I recommend Life Changing Charters to the fullest! Great way to spend time with friends or family !
Chet Grant5.0VerifiedExcellent fishing trip
5 Hour Trip on July 27, 2025 • 4 adultsI booked a 5 hour fishing trip with Life Changing Fishing charter and we had so much fun. Buddy Price was the captain and he was so knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. It was a great experience for my first fishing trip! I recommend to everyone if you want to catch a lot of fish and have a good time with family and enough food to eat for awhile! Two thumbs up!

Outstanding Fishing Trip
5 Hour Trip on October 3, 2025 • 2 adultsEven though weather wasn’t the best, Capt Buddy put us on the fish every spot. His main concern the whole trip was that we had a great experience and we did! Would definitely recommend him!
