    Best fishing trip to date

    Half Day Trip – Inshore - 1:30 PM on September 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    We come to Florida yearly and have been on a few fishing trips each year. Our captain was very knowledgeable, friendly and well informed. He kept us catching fish the whole time. He was patient and well informed. He was completely chill and was happy to explain all the fish we caught. If we lost a bait or a hook he didn’t care and if he did he didn’t show it. He was a confidence booster, we definitely will book the next one with him too!!

    Great fishing with Captain Christian!

    3/4 Day Trip (Inshore/Nearshore) on June 29, 2026 • 2 adults

    I had an amazing time fishing with Captain Christian! Upon arriving to the dock Captain Christian greeted my family and I. We then headed to a dock and fished some there. Following that we stopped for fuel before heading out on the open ocean. The marina had some issues with their payment system which cost us a small portion of time on the trip. Captain Christian handled this professionally and adapted and overcame the situation. He added an hour of time on to our trip which I thought was appropriate and nice of him due to this slight delay. We caught many fish such as margate, whitebone porgy, lane snapper, blue runner, ramoura, bull redfish, sand trout and croaker. We had a couple big grouper and a king mackerel circling the boat near the surfacs that we were trying to get to bite but they just wouldn’t take the bait. I had an incredibly great time on this trip and I look forward to fishing with Captain Christian again on a future trip to Daytona Beach!

    Unforgettable Evening!

    Night time fishing adventure (PM) - 6:15 PM on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We wanted to take our son on a memorable fishing trip for his 18th birthday and Capitan Chris delivered! He dropped us in right on top of a variety of fish - snapper, jack, cat, and we even reeled in a couple of black tip right at the end. Guests should prepare for lots of sun, a few bugs, plenty of fish and TONS OF FUN! Capitan Chris will take care of the rest. He even had a cooler with waters for everyone cold and ready. We would recommend this charter to anyone, beginners and experts alike. What a great adventure!

    Great Birthday Adventure!

    3/4 Day Trip (Inshore/Nearshore) on May 13, 2026 • 3 adults

    Today was a birthday celebration for my husband. Captain Christian made it fun and memorable. He definitely goes above and beyond to cater to each client’s desires so that you get the most out of the experience. He played our favorite music, provided great conversation, was very enthusiastic and made sure we caught what we came for! whiting, pinfish, blowfish, channel catfish, sail cat, shark, dragonfish, and flounder were the catch of the day. We would whole heartedly recommend Captain Christian for your next Daytona fishing adventure!

    Overwhelmingly successful fishing trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on May 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Not only were we able to catch fish, but we must have caught at least nine different species. We were able to target and catch any type of fish we wanted, and as promised, we couldn’t keep the hook in the water long enough without bringing something up on the line. From sharks to pufferfish and everything in between, we were able to bring our bounty to Millie’s Restaurant and have our fresh catch served any way we wanted. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip one of the best we’ve had yet. 11/10 — would highly recommend!

    exceptional experience

    Half Day Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM on April 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    From leaving the Marina, to returning, Captain Christian was continuously responsive to our every need. Awesome fishing!! He knows all the great spots and keeps you fishing and entertains along the way! we caught so many different varieties of fish, Sheepshead,Whiting, Sailcat,Puffer, Mangrove Snapper etc. Topped off on return to marina , was a school of Dolphins all around the boat , of which he stopped to allow us to enjoy, even though he was on a time restraint for next clients. A must do when visiting Daytona Beach!

    Absolutely fantastic

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on August 8, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Christian was like part of the family. Very friendly and informative. We were actually making up for a day we were rained out in. Which was very nice. I’ve never caught so many fish in my life. Catfish, yellowtail, bonnet shark, black tip shark, puffer fish, and a stingray. Weather was finally good most of the day. But we were prepared with our raincoat. 😆 we are definitely planning to make this a yearly event. Wow what an amazing experience. Thanks Captain

    Great vibes and great fishing!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on August 7, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had a blast with Captain Christian – so much, that we booked again with him for the next day. Christian is knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly fun to hang with on the boat. We caught a good variety of fish: snapper, sheephead, shark, blow fish, etc. There were 3 adult males in our party and everyone fit comfortably on the boat. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a great time fishing on the water.

    Best fishing trip ever!!!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on July 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Christian was not only friendly, but very helpful and baiting our hooks and cheering us on with every fish we caught. he made it fun and exciting and made sure to take us to the spots where we could catch multiple fish. I don’t think we could even begin to describe or compliment the fishing excursion that he lead us on today and give him enough kudos! We felt like family with him!!

Amazing!
Night time fishing adventure (PM) on September 18, 2026 • 2 adults

It's my Birthday! We had a great time with Captain Christian! I loved that it was just the Captain, my Husband and I. Not a lot of running around trying to find a spot to fish like a large charter. We caught a variety of fish and had a great time. The fight in the fish was great. We even caught some shark! Weather can be unpredictable but it worked out in our favor. Captain Christian was a delight to talk to and joke around with. He even cleaned and fileted the fish for us. We had a wonderful time and would recommend Captain Christian and Jus' Chillin Charters to everyone!

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Sheepshead

Great Trip!
Night time fishing adventure (PM) - 6:15 PM on June 7, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

We had a fantastic time on our fishing charter! The captain was excellent with my son and made sure he was involved every step of the way. He put us right on the fish, taught us techniques for catching them, and was patient and encouraging throughout the trip. The best part was watching my son gain confidence and actually out-fish me! It made for a great father-son experience and created memories we’ll be talking about for years. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who works hard to get you on fish and makes the trip enjoyable for the whole family, I highly recommend this charter.
