There's a fish with your name on it in Jacksonville and Reel Joy Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Charlie is prepared to put you on fish.
You're likely to go after Amberjack, Cobia, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Drum, Black Seabass, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more, depending on when you go. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Charlie will bring you aboard a 22' Hydra Sports center console with room for 3 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (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.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Reel Joy Fishing Charters.

Went out on a fishing charter this morning and had an awesome time. The captain was great, super helpful, and made the whole trip a lot of fun. We stayed on fish the whole time and ended up catching a bunch which made the experience even better. The boat was nice, the vibes were good, and everything was handled professionally. Definitely one of the most fun mornings I’ve had in a while and I’d 100% recommend this charter to anyone looking to get out on the water and catch some fish. Looking forward to coming back again soon 🎣🌊
Thank you sir! I had a great time with you despite the weather conditions, an adventure to say the least, and I'm still kicking my self for the one that got away... Hope to see you again!
Fun and respectful captain who kept us moving and on fish all morning. Great communication ahead of the trip and made it a perfect 4 hour offshore trip
Thanks Zack, I had a great time taking you guys out.
Terrific experience. Took my grand daughter for her first fishing trip and it couldn’t have been better the captain was patient, knowledgeable and professional. My granddaughter is now hooked on fishing. Would recommend Charlie to anyone who wants a great day on the water.
Thank you , Ed I’m glad you guys had a great time out on the water. It was a pleasure having you guys aboard, and I’m thrilled she’s hooked on fishing now! Hope to see you both again soon. -Captain Charlie
