Ready to go fishing in Jensen Beach? Look no further than Charley's Fishing Charters! Captain Charley will be your guide, bringing aboard years of professional experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Amberjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Red Grouper, King Mackerel, Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, whatever else is biting. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Charley can also have you Flounder gigging.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your excursion begins aboard a 26' Bluewater center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Fish ON!

8 Hour Trip – Offshore on March 22, 2026 • 2 adults

We had an awesome time today with Charley's Fishing Charters. We got on a few nice fish early and then saw a break in the action through much of the morning and mid afternoon. We reached out to several other boat crews on the water with all others sharing similar reports. Charley and Dennis were determined to get us back on fish and boy did they deliver. We hooked into a Sail fish before the end of the day and several large snapper filled the coolers. This was a father-son trip we will never forget! We will be back for sure!

Family fishing trip

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on December 24, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

We booked Charley's Fishing Charters for our son's 16th birthday who loves deep sea fishing. We booked for the offshore fishing but unfortunately, we had to change to the inshore due to the weather condition. Despite the change, we had a great time out there. Not only Charley and his first mate helped us catch different kinds of fish but also they were very friendly and were great with our kids (we had 17, 16, and 10). I also felt that they cared us (customers) and worked hard to make the experience fun for us. I also appreciated it that Charley was responsive from the time of the booking until the day of the fishing. The boat was comfortable size for 5 of us. It was nice to have a bathroom for ladies. I would recommend Charley's Fishing Charters to others and we hope to return for the offshore fishing.

Great family trip

6 Hour Trip – Inshore on February 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 4 children

We had an absolute blast fishing with Charlie and his first mate Kevin. They couldn’t have been better with our 4 kids. This was our first family trip on a charter and they really made it a great experience for everyone. It was a very windy day and Charlie bounced around from spot to spot until we got dialed in and everyone was catching in no time. We went home with fresh fish and memories that last a lifetime thanks to their due diligence.

Outstanding Charter with Charley and Kevin

4 Hour Trip – Offshore on December 14, 2025 • 6 adults

We had an excellent experience with this charter. Charley and Kevin were extremely knowledgeable and true professionals at what they do. They took the time to understand our group’s preferences and tailored the trip accordingly, which made the entire day smooth and enjoyable. We caught some incredible fish and learned a lot along the way. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a well-run, professional fishing experience.
