Liberty Sportfishing seeks to give you and your family a fishing trip that will make you want to come back and visit again and again. Captain Bennett Harbour is a United States Marine Corps veteran and a truly professional fisherman. Come aboard for a trip that will surely make plenty of memories.

You and your family or friends will fish on a 24-foot Skeeter which is powered by a Yamaha 250 outboard with a max speed of 60 mph.

The boat has been rigged out with the newest technology on the market making it difficult for the fish to hide. The Skeeter SX 230 is a state of the art bay boat hand crafted with fishing in mind. This Bay boat is equipped with a 250 HP Yamaha, a trolling motor, raptors, twin 10 inch Garmin graphs and livescope on the bow. Whether you want to fish at the jetties or in 10 inches of water sight fishing for redfish, this boat does it all. Also included are two coolers packed with ice and comfortable lounging options for those who want to take a break.

Captain Bennett knows what it is like to fish with families and make memories doing it. Bennett and his family have been fishing here on Amelia island for over a decade.

Captain Bennett targets varied species at the Jetties and the surrounding rivers such as Red Drum and Black Drum. Other possible catches include Trout, Tarpon, Sharks, sheepshead, and Flounder.

During your trip with Captain Bennett, you will experience the wonders of Amelia Island from the water. You could observe the wild horses of Cumberland Island, learn a bit about Fort Clinch, and see copious amounts of life.

Captain Bennett provides fishing licenses and all of the necessary equipment to enjoy your trip.

See you soon!

unforseen problems

4 HR – Jetty/Backwater on May 15, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Bennett is a gentleman thru and thru. First and foremost he respects his boat, clean and rigged to the hilt; secondly he is attentive to his party, their skill level and the need to put fish in the boat. That being said, we had to cut our trip short(we had caught a bunch of fish at a bunch of different locations including a 15-17pound Bonnett Shark…)due to 25-30mph sustained winds that were NOT forecasted before we left the dock. Captain Bennett made the call..”return to the dock for safety and obviously it had become unfishable..” Having prepaid for a longer trip, Captain offered we reset for another day and apply the remaining monies, which we gladly obliged. 
   In closing, I highly recommend Captain Bennett and Liberty. You will not be disappointed👍😉🇺🇸

From Marsh to Monster: A Top-Tier Day with Liberty Sport Fishing

3 HR – Jetty/Backwater on March 20, 2026 • 2 adults

Booked a charter with Liberty Sport Fishing out of Fernandina Beach, and it was the real deal—start to finish, best of the best.
Boat was clean, dialed in, and ready to roll the second we stepped on. We started working the tidal marshes—tight water, technical fishing—before pushing out into the main channel of the St. Mary’s River.
That’s where it all came together. Captain Bennett Harbor put us on an absolute stud black drum—fish of a lifetime.
What sets this trip apart is the way Captain Harbor runs it. He’s not just driving the boat—he’s coaching every step of the way. Clear direction, no ego, just making sure you get it done right. You can tell he knows those waters inside and out.
On top of that, the camaraderie made it even better—getting to share the experience with a fellow Marine veteran meant a lot. Add in quality time with my son, and it doesn’t get any better than that.
If you’re looking for a no-BS, top-tier charter that puts you on fish and sharpens your skills, this is it.
We’ll be back.

great day, missed opportunities!

4 HR – Jetty/Backwater - 1:30 PM on June 9, 2026 • 2 adults

we had a great trip, the captain is a five star guy. He put us on the fish , just had some missed opportunities. Hooked up on several good fish and just didnt get them in the boat.  We still caught some fish , but the big ones got away at no fault to the captain. we will be back and ready for the action again. 
The boat and equipment are excellent, very clean and organized.

So much fun!

3 HR – Jetty/Backwater on March 30, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Our family had a great time with Captain Bennett, although the fish weren’t exactly cooperating with our plans! Our group managed to catch a handful of smaller fish, and a stingray (which was really exciting!) He was knowledgeable and so helpful! 
Captain Bennett took us to different spots and we were able to see the wild horses, plenty of dolphins, and he told us a lot of information on the area!
