Griffin Stauffer•
Virginia, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat trip - great memories!
3 Hour Inshore - 8:00 AM on July 21, 2026 • 4 adultsExcellent experience from booking through the end! Captain was in regular communication before our trip regarding weather and all details. Personable and knowledgeable while taking us to different spots to ensure we had as many opportunities to cast and catch as possible (caught black and ref drum and some other smaller kinds too)9. Coming from freshwater fishing in Virginia we were taught not only how to salt water fish, but about the different catch possibilities. They set everything up for us, taught us and made it easy for our 13 year old to boost his fishing confidence. We will be booking with him next time we come to Florida!
Gregory Sabino•Illinois, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedAmazing Family Trip
4 Hour Inshore on November 7, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childOutstanding! We could not have asked for a more enjoyable day. Captain Will and Jake were excellent hosts and accommodating to our 7 year old. They kept us on the fish all day. What impressed me the most was their honesty. We had booked a previous week, but due to wind, Captain William recommend that we reschedule. We have fished alot; sometimes in awful weather and caught nothing. Never have we had a captain offer to reschedule. The fact Captain William was willing to postpone because he knew we probably would not catch anything was greatly appreciated and totally unexpected since we had already paid. Book with Captain William and Jake. You will not be disappointed.
Robin Tripp•Georgia, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedI can definitely recommend!
3 Hour Inshore - 8:00 AM on July 22, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childThis was a fishing trip for my 12-year-old grandson who loves to fish, but has not had a lot of luck catching them. Captain Will and Scott worked so hard. The first place we stopped was a magical. You could hardly get the lines in fast enough to pull up a fish. 😄 my grandson‘s face said it all.👏
Jeana Riehl•Wisconsin, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedJust do it!
3 Hour Inshore - 8:00 AM on November 24, 2025 • 2 adultsMy very first time fishing- I had no idea what to expect and I’m from out of state. They were patient with all my silly questions, explained the why we were doing things, and so friendly. I felt like I was hanging out with friends. They even told us when a wake was coming so we could hang on. I caught plenty of fish, I learned how to cast and pump the line. I had a great time. I’m planning next years trip and bringing more people!
Shannon GluseRepeat angler•Connecticut, US•Member since 20224 trips5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the Water!
3 Hour Inshore - 8:00 AM on April 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenOur family enjoyed a great afternoon of fishing. We had beautiful weather and the crew was kind, helpful, and hard working. They had a lot of knowledge about the area and gave some helpful fishing tips to my boys who were able to catch a few different species of fish!
Lavonia BishopRepeat angler•Florida, US•Member since 20242 trips5.0VerifiedBest fishing trip ever!!
4 Hour Inshore on October 14, 2025 • 2 adultsThis was our 2nd trip on my husband’s birthday. Cap Will and Jake did not disappoint. They put us right on the fish. We caught out limit right away and were throwing reds back believe it or not! So fun! Such a great time, we caught black drum and mango snapper too. Above all these guys were so nice. My husband and I both use canes to get around and they were so helpful. What a class act I highly recommend!!

Charlton MonsantoMember since 20255.0Excellent Experience! 🔥💪🏼
4 Hour Inshore on October 16, 2025My wife and I had a great time. Captain Wlll and his mate Jake are true professionals. Very courteous, friendly, and flexible teaching us how to fish. They made sure we had action the whole time, and made sure we caught enough to take our catch to The Conch House for a fresh feast. Will definitely book these guys again.
Scott Stapleton•Johnson City, TN, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome Trip

These fellows even line up perfect weather. We took Dick, an 89 year old avid fisherman on a dream charter. The boat was stable and easy to access. The captain Will and mate Jake were very attentive and professional. We got to great fishing spots and somehow our wish that Dick catch the biggest fish was fulfilled with him pulling in a 23± inch Redfish. It was a day made in heaven for us. My grandson and the rest of us brought in whiting, black drum, pin fish, puffer fish and even a flounder. We're already planning future trips with Old Coast Charters.
I booked this trip primarily for my sons. Captain Will answered all of my messages promptly, very proactive with communications, really did an amazing job with coordinating our schedules. Both he and First Mate Jake, were knowledgeable and incredibly patient, responsive to all of our questions. From a mom’s perspective, definitely family friendly. Would definitely book with them again.
