Species like Amberjack, Bonito, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, African Pompano Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Wahoo, Gray Triggerfish, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Blacktip Shark, and more could be biting if you cast your line at the right time of year.

Trips with Captian J’s Charters are fun for all ages, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You’re welcome to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 32’ Bayliner 3218 Motor yacht with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, for an additional fee.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
It’s never a bad idea to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor. NO glass bottles.
