D&R Charters Fernandina Beach, Fl 

We had a great trip for novice fisherwomen with David. My daughter came for a visit with 2 of her friends and her boyfriend so we spent a morning doing an inshore fishing trip. David knew the sweet spots snd was a very patient teacher with the young women. We caught plenty of fish which we enjoyed for lunch at the Salty Pelican (fish tacos!!). David was very knowledgeable and personable, a Fernandina area native, and it is obvious he loves what he does. We hope to use him for some private instruction in the future. Very well maintained, organized, and clean boat. Highly recommend D&R Charters.

Captian Dave helped us have a perfect day. He was so patient and helpful with my kids, 8 and 11 years old, and made sure they had an unforgettable experience. From the dozens of red snapper we caught, the two bonnet sharks, and the most fun, two 70lb black drum, we had a day! I would highly recommend a trip with Captain Dave to anyone looking for a good experience

Captain David was awesome! Very knowledgeable, patient, and experienced! His boat is very roomy and in tiptop shape! We caught so many fish! Our family enjoyed our trip very much!!

we had a wonderful time on the water with D & R Charters. The Captain worked very hard for the six of us. Most of us were new to salt water fishing but the instruction was spot on and we caught lots of fish. Even recommended a place to cook up out catch and it was delicious. you won’t regret choosing D & R for your fishing excursion!!!

Working with Captain Dave we managed our February fishing trip around changing weather and had a great time. We all caught our maximum number of Sea Bass keepers as along with a bunch of catch-and-release fish including Red Snapper. Captain Dave was tireless and fun to be with. and his voice of music was not bad either ;) . Highly Recommend.

had almost constant action for 3 hours of fishing. great time, friendly captain. Would recommend.

Such a great experience! The captain knew exactly where to go, kept the vibe fun the whole time, and made sure everyone had a great trip. Definitely worth it — and I wouldn’t mind booking again just for the captain alone 😊

Dave worked hard to ensure all 6 of us had a good understanding of how to fish our target species. We enjoyed learning from him and had a great time. Definitley worth a rebook! Thanks Dave Tony and the Tadano Team.

Our captain Dave was fantastic. A true experienced fisherman that was extremely personal and professional. I had my 9 year old grandson and daughter with me. He was very attentiative to each of our needs. The fishing was incredible as we a caught a slew of various fish - red, and black drum, string rays, shark, Jack c, bass. One was over 36 inches long. He definitely knew where to go and how to properly cast and lure in the big ones. On the return we even stopped to observe wild horses. The 33 cat boat is well maintained , comfortable and ideal for fishing. He has gps trolling motor which works wonders to troll at a specific location. Would definitely recommend Captain Dave.

My wife and two daughters, age 23 and 25 were visiting Amelia Island for a few days and I wanted to take them fishing. I been fishing many times but my wife and daughters are rookies. I was concerned about a charter that had facilities for them (Porta Potty) which is mostly how I based by selection. That being said, Captain Dave was great, very easy going, pleasant and within minutes we were on fish. He was very patient, taught the girls how to hook the fish and even let them most the fish. The only bad thing is, they had such a good time, now I have to take fishing with me and the Boys! (Only kidding). I recommend bring your catch to the Salty Pelican where they will cook for you! If you are fishing with your wife and kids, The 4-hour trip was perfect.
