Boating with Captain Samuel Moseley is an exceptional experience and a fantastic way to explore the water from the perspective of someone who truly knows it. Captain Samuel's expertise extends far beyond navigation—his knowledge of local wildlife, history, waterways, and environmental conservation makes every trip both educational and enjoyable for guests of all ages. As an added bonus, his first mate and amazing dog, Mojo, is a highlight of the adventure. If you're looking for a memorable, informative, and unique boating experience, Captain Samuel and Mojo make an outstanding team.
Captain Samuel was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed ourselves.
thank you so much for your response & kind review. Wonderful fisher-folks, great customers, very nice & enjoyavle people. Thank you for hopping aboard and I hope to see you again 💯 Capt Samuel
Our inshore excursion with Captain Samuel was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we stepped aboard, he made us feel welcome and ensured we had a fantastic time on the water. His deep knowledge of the area and expert navigation led us to some incredible fishing spots, and we even got up close with local wildlife. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a relaxing day on the water, Captain Samuel delivers an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much and I look forward to having you aboard again. :-)
My wife and I took a trip to Florida last March. I wanted to fish so bad. As an avid angler, I needed to get on the water and try some new fishing experiences. I remembered that a friend, Samuel, guided in Florida. I hit him up and he squeezed us in! Although the weather didn’t cooperate, we had a blast! Saw dolphins, which my wife loved. The fishing wasn’t great, but that is how fishing goes. Even with the fish not biting, Captain Mosely managed to get us on some sheep’s head and filleted em up for us. If you are looking for a personal and fun experience on the water, hit up Captain Mosely. He and his boat mate, Mojo (the dog) are great guides and created an amazing and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
Jake, was great having ya’ll on the boat. That was a wet, cold, windy day with a slow bite, but we managed a few and had a good time together. Look forward to seeing you in April. Best to the fam & tight lines!
Captain Samuel Moseley made this trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the water, fishing techniques, and local hot spots is unmatched. The boat was in top shape, but what really made the experience stand out was Samuel himself. He’s not just a great captain, but a great person. Friendly, patient, and passionate about what he does, he made sure every moment was enjoyable. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just out for a good time, you couldn’t ask for a better guide. Looking forward to the next trip with him!
Thank you so much. Hopefully we can get out of the water. Peace!

Your captain
I started fishing in Ochlockonee Bay, Florida in a serious way around 2004. I fished from Alligator Point, Fl and east all the way to the Aucilla River learning and exploring the vast rivers, creeks and tributaries that empty in to the Gulf. Relocated to Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl and fishing avidly from north of the St. John's River all the way south to St. Augustine, Fl. fishing creeks, oyster bars, flats etc. This is where I really fell in love with shallow water sight fishing in salt water. I raised a family (2 young men now) and worked in the corporate world (customer service and sales in Senior Living) until 2023 when I decided to resign my corporate position and get my Captains license. I love being on the water, in nature, fishing, exploring and taking in the beauty that surrounds. I have great respect for the maritime industry and am honored to be able to do this as an occupation.
