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!

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.
