There's a fish with your name on it in Jacksonville Beach and Isle of Palm Charters will help you catch it!

These waters are known for Jack Crevalle, Black Drum, Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Bluefish, Flounder, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Alex also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You'll be dropping lines from a 23' Carolina Skiff Sea Chaser bay boat with space for 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Alex will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your 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 always wise to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Isle of Palm Charters!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore Slam on March 23, 20261 adult2 children

We had the BEST time out with Isle of Palm Fishing Charters. Alex is seriously the real deal—super experienced, laid back, and just knows what he’s doing without making it feel like a whole production. He put us on fish (we actually caught!) and made it fun the entire time, especially for the kids. He was so patient with them and really took the time to make sure they were into it and having a good time, which I appreciated more than anything. Everything just felt easy and natural—no stress, no pressure, just a really great day on the water. We had such a good time that we’re already planning our next trip with him in June. If you’re thinking about booking, do it. Alex will take care of you.

Capt. Alex is AWESOME!
6 Hour Trip – Inshore Slam on July 3, 20262 adults

Took my 79 year-old dad out for a trip today. My dad is USMC Retired and isn't as nimble on his feet as he used to be. Captain Alex welcomed us and took excellent care of him from the time we arrived until the time we left. I felt like he tended to him like he was his own father, and did everything he could to ensure my dad was comfortable and fishing. Capt. Alex worked hard keeping the lines wet and we caught fish! We had a great time! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Capt. Alex and will absolutely use him again!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore Slam on April 2, 20261 adult1 child

I cannot stress enough how badass of a captain he is. super chill. Nothing like the average florida Cap. very polite. very respectful. great and fun experience. Its easy to tell that this isnt just a hustle to him, he truly enjoys doing this and it shows. my son and I had a blast and will use his services every time we are in the area. On and off the water, an all around great guy!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore Slam on November 28, 20252 adults

My daughter and I booked a fishing trip with Alex after Thanksgiving. Although it was the coldest day of the season Alex still put us on the fish. Alex is a wonderful fishing guide and a blast to fish with. Alex is so easy to get along with and so helpful with all of your fishing needs. My daughter and I are still talking about the trip a week later saying how much fun we had. We cant wait to go back and go out again with him. Book this charter and you won’t regret it. Fish on🐠

6 Hour Trip – Inshore Slam on March 8, 20261 adult

Hands down one of the best fishing trips I’ve been on 🎣🔥 Went out over the weekend and had an absolute blast from the minute we left the dock. The captain was awesome, kept everything fun . Ended up catching a big fish that made the trip unforgettable and had action all day. You can tell he know exactly what he’s doing and i had great time. Already ready to book another trip because I can’t wait to get back out there with them again 💯🐟
