If you're ready to try fishing in St. Augustine, we've got you covered with Knot Tied Down Fishing Charters. With Captain Jerry at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Species like Cobia, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Seabass, Blackfin Tuna, Almaco Jack, and more are in the cards, depending on conditions. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll be welcome aboard a 40' Jersey offshore sport fishing with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, 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. It's always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Great trip for novice fishermen

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 20, 2026 • 3 adults

    Capt. Jerry and his first mate were excellent. Very knowledgeable about the area, the available fish and how to catch them. Everything was very efficient, the boat was comfortable and relaxed for our group. Loved every moment.

    Thanks to Captain Jerry and First Mate Jake

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    The Phillips Boys had a blast reeling in king fish and some mackerel and then ate their catches at Conch House right after. The crew was perfect with the boys, teaching them and being kind instead of salty as some have been in the past. I can't recomment the Knot Tied Down experience more. Here are some highlights- https://youtu.be/OmtgOykjWH8.

Great trip
11 Hour Trip on July 5, 2026 • 5 adults

Had booked an offshore trolling charter and as the trip got closer, he recommended switching the charter to bottom fishing due to trolling season was very slow now. Put us ona variety of bottom fish. First mate was top notch. will be booking for trolling next year but earlier in the season. Boat is well designed and comfortable.

Fantastic trip!
6 Hour Trip (PM) on July 28, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

God smiled down and gave us a perfect day to fish offshore. Captain Jerry and his mate Jake worked hard to put us on the fish…. and boy did we catch them. Both my son and I have sore arms today! I would highly recommend Knot Tied Down and will certainly be back next season.🎣
