Island Catch Charters is located on Jekyll Island and wants to show you an unforgettable fishing day you’ll want to share with family and friends!

Capt. Chris is highly experienced and aims to provide an excellent excursion, one your group will remember for years to come.

This involves 3 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, Whiting, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, and Cobia, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

All rods, reels, terminal tackle and bait are included in the price so you can focus on fishing. Your trip will also have all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. You can keep anything you catch as long as it’s legal to do so. Children are welcome aboard, so bring the whole family and get the young ones started with fishing. Kids never forget the wonderful feeling of reeling in their first catch.
