Making Memories
4 Hour Inshore Trip on June 12, 20264 adults2 children

Captain Alden and First Mate Will run an organized, safe, fun, and top notch charter. We had a phenomenal trip on our inshore fishing experience. The boat is comfortable, the guys were experienced and great with all ages. We had 3 generations on our 6 person trip and made some wonderful memories together. These guys put us on the fish, catered to every person, keeping us baited up, taking care of things before we even asked. We caught red and black drum, enough for fresh dinner and the freezer! They were patient and very willing to answer questions and teach our first time fishers the very basics. It is a win for us when my 6 year old granddaughter now loves fishing like I do. Thank you Captain Alden and Will!!! We will definitely be back.

A great day on the water!
Nearshore trip full day on August 12, 20262 adults

Alden and Will did a bang up job today on the water! These guys had the boat in the water and ready to go before our scheduled start time. Once out, netting the bait seemed easy for them and didn’t take much time! We ran into some good strikes and brought us back some “king”! We will definitely be fishing with these two guys again! Thanks again to Alden and Will!!

Perfect family fishing experience!
4 Hour Inshore Trip - 1:00 PM on July 1, 20263 adults2 children

Finding something unique to to do with your family during vacation can sometimes be daunting. So, one of my kids suggested fishing. I researched the many options available in St. Augustine, and landed on Captain Alden. Sure was glad I did. He was very helpful, professional and his boat was clean and big enough for the six of us. Captain Alden was very helpful and patient with the kids, educating all of us of the different fish species we caught. Overall a five star trip!

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Black Drum
Redfish
Flounder
Response from Captain

great time with you guys yesterday!
