Finomenal Adventure Charters provides a fun and exciting experience, either freshwater or saltwater fishing.

Enjoy a relaxing day drifting on Lake Monroe or riding the waves at Ponce Inlet. You won't be disappointed! Finomenal Adventures uses a 17' 1720 Key West 2021 Center console, ready to accommodate 3 plus passengers. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Kids from 5 years and up are welcome!

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Common Bream, Flounder, Crappie, Pompano, Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Sunfish, Spotted Seatrout, and more. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

A first mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip!

It's always a good idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Smoking is not allowed while the boat is in operation.

Treat yourself to a Finomenal fishing day with Captain Burke!

Finomenal Adventure Charters Is Phenomenal!!

Saint Johns River 2 Person Crappie on January 31, 2026 • 2 adults

Took a trip with Captain Burke and had terrific action from start to finish. You won’t find a more courteous and professional guide. Communication before, during, and after our trip was fantastic and it went way beyond “fishing talk”. Captain Burke was willing to go above and beyond to see that we had truly memorable morning in beautiful natural surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. I wouldn’t hesitate to fish again, and again, and again aboard this fine Veteran owned vessel.

Quality Time

Saint Johns River 3 Person Panfish on April 6, 2026 • 3 adults

Spent yesterday on a 4-hour fishing trip on the St Johns River with my Grandson and Son in Law guided by James Burke. We had a great time and caught several different kinds of fish. One was a 3.5 lb tilapia. James was a blast and knows the river like the back of his hand. We will book with James again in the future. Quality time.

Thanks Michael for allowing me to serve you, and make a memorable experience for you, Larry, and brac, it was fun when we hit those Tilapia beds. Larry started out slow but finished well 😆 I definitely look forward in next year.

Master Guide

Saint Johns River Bass 2 Person on April 9, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Burke provided a professional guided bass fishing 🎣 outing even though weather was inclement. Captain Burke put us on fish for four hours and even with 20mph winds, kept the boat positioned so both my son and I could work the waters.
