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!

Another Great Trip with Bennett

VERIFIED

3 HR (AM)– Jetty/Backwater on July 18, 2025

Second year in a row going out with Bennett. He put my kids on fish in the rivers and kept the lines baited and moving. Would love to schedule a trip in the cooler months to hopefully catch some big ones. But he kept the action moving and my pre-teen and teenagers had a great time. Thanks! We'll see you again.

We did not have a lot of time and only booked the 2 hour inland fishing tour. I had asked Bennett if that was enough time to catch dinner for a family of four and he said he would try his best. Moved us around to various spots and next thing you know we had 4 Whiting and 2 Sea Trout for dinner! Only stress of the day was my wife and son not agreeing on whether tonight’s dinner will be prepared sautéed or pan fried. We will book with Bennett again!

I took my wife, father in law and brother in law out for a quick trip. Everyone caught fish. Was a great morning for us. Captain Bennett did a great job watching over my father in law and my wife as they had little fishing experience. Would definitely book again!

We had a great time fishing with Captain Bennett. It was a beautiful day on the water and he put us on a lot of fish - Red Drum, Black Drum, Flounder, Jacks, Blues, a Spanish Mackerel, and some other odds and ends! He was great with our boys (14 and 16), very patient and super excited every time they had a fish on. Would definitely book again!

Capt Bennett help me and my girlfriend get on a variety of species. He planned out our trip very well. We caught the bites at peak times and move to the next spot once the bite cooled. Was able to catch my first Jack Cravell. My gf who has never really fished was able to reel in a few keeper trout and a Spanish mackerel. Time well spent.

angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Fishing all my life has equipped me with the expertise and skill required to guide others in the sport of fishing. Before I became a saltwater angler, I spent most of my free time fishing in Bass tournaments in the Southeast. I found my love for saltwater fishing during the countless trips my family spent visiting Amelia Island, FL. After my time in the military, I decided to turn my strongest passion into a business so that I can share my love for fishing with others, here in Amelia Island, FL. As your Captain, I promise to share my knowledge about the local waters and the species that inhabit them. My goal for each passenger of my boat is to not only catch fish, but to feel the thrill that comes moments after a fish bites. These are the special moments that I can still picture as a kid fishing for the first time. I look forward to sharing the joy of fishing with each and every one of you.
