Castaway STA
Castaway STA
Spend the day with Castaway STA and get hooked on fishing in St. Augustine! Your guide for the day is Captain Joe, allowing you to benefit from over 20 years of knowledge and experience.
You're likely to go after Redfish, Amberjack, Flounder, Grouper, Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Black Drum, Vermilion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, and more, depending on conditions.
On the day of your trip you're likely to bottom fish targeting the best fishing using the appropriate gear and tackle. You may also troll depending on the current species which are in season.
You'll step aboard a fully equipped 2023 SEA HUNT 26 foot Center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. I have a 'Poddy' set-up on board, blocked from view, in the forward bow section of the boat for your convenience.
All of your fishing rods, reels, bait, tackle, and a cooler filled with Ice for you to store your sandwiches, drinks and snacks, are provided. All of the fishing licenses for the entire party are covered by charter captains license. The Captain will clean and pack on ice any legal catch you would like to take home.
It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Captain Joe will keep you updated with current weather conditions and what to expect prior to departure.

We met Capt. Joe at the dock and from there our adventure began. We wanted our son to experience ocean fishing and have the chance to reel in whatever the sea would provide. Capt. Joe did his best to accommodate and we couldnt have asked for a nicer experience. We highly recommend booking with Capt. Joe as he is personable and knowledgable about all things St. Augustine and fishing. His boat is fully equipped and well taken care of. Most importantly, his communication is excellent, before, during and after the excursion. If youre looking for a great day on the water with an excellent captain that listens and accommodates, then Capt. Joe is your guy. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Hi Donna. Im glad yiu had an enjoyable day; your family is great. I see Aunt Kate’s restaurant cooked up your fresh catch; it looks delicious. I will look forward to fishing with you all again next time. thanks. Capt. Joe
Captain Joe was wonderful ! he ensured he had everything on board for myself and 2 kids to have a great day of fishing ! he was constantly baiting the lines and teaching the boys about the fish we caught , he seemed to never get tired !highly recommend !!
Took my kids (7 and 8) and parents (81 and 78) out for a half day both nearshore and inshore fishing with Captain Joe. Not only did he put us on fish he was very accommodating to both the youngins and the grandparents. We all caught fish including red fish, trout, drum, whiting and cat. He even cleaned the fish for us after the trip to take home and eat! Highly recommend this trip to those of all ages and experience.
Captain Joe was the best captain ever, he was so attentive to my grandson which made all the difference ever. And this is coming from a captain in Texas. I would 100% recommend him to everyone.
Joe and Alex are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and easy going for conversation. Would definitely recommend.

I grew up on a lake in Massachusetts and had my first boat when I was 11 years old. Since then I have been seriously addicted to fishing. I moved to Florida in 2000 and have completely fallen in love with salt water fishing in the St Augustine area and the Florida Keys.
