Make some memories and go fishing with MandaLu…previously known as Savannah Lynn. Captain Jeff Landis will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of local experience.

These waters are known for Tilefish, Hammerhead Shark, Blacktip Shark, Giant Seabass, Flounder, Tautog, Bluefish, Black Drum, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You'll be casting lines from a 36' Stapleton saltwater fishing vessel with a capacity for 16 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. MandaLu will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate, to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with MandaLu.

5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on May 29, 20266 adults2 children
Jeff and Devin were amazing and we had so much fun from beginning to end! Jeff was great and talked us through the process ahead of time and tempered expectations and talked through potential challenges, but we ended up catching eight shark and had an amazing tine. Would recommend to everyone and can’t wait to come back!

8 Hour Trip on May 16, 202612 adults
Our group had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Bobby and first mate Patrick! Some of us were beginners, but they were incredibly patient, helpful, and made the whole experience fun and easy for everyone. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and stayed on fish all day. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and hardworking crew, highly recommend booking with them!

5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on September 14, 20252 adults
Great time fishing with Jeff, Pat, and Devon. My 11-year old and I did the four hour shark trip. Slow day with the current not moving. At the end of our time, we still hadn’t caught anything and they stayed longer to make sure we didn’t go home without landing something. It paid off as we ended up with what we estimated to be a 7ft, 200lb shark. Would definitely book again.

Tiger Shark

5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 19, 202510 adults
Booked for 10 people for shark fishing for a bachelor party weekend. 30minutes to the lighthouse and immediately hooked back to back doubles. Caught a total of 8 sharks (duskys/sand tigers) but all 10 guys got to hook on to fish. The crew was super helpful, knowledgeable and just great people. Highly recommend booking for charter fishing! They’ll be hearing from us again in the future for sure!

Great Fishing Trip
6 Hour Trip on July 3, 20258 adults
Capt Terry asked what type of fishing we wanted to do and he put us on the meat. We caught Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and a Bonita. The crew was great and made sure that lines got back in the water right away. Capt Terry stayed on the fish right up to when it was time to go back in to the dock. No stop action from start to finish.
