Spend the day with Fernandina Coastal Charters and find out what the fishing in Fernandina Beach is all about!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Flounder, Black Drum, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Red Snapper, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Whiting, and whatever else takes the bait. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard!

Your boat for the day is a 20' Pioneer center console with space for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Garrett will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures and live bait.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! 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 recommended to 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, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Fun day on the water!
Half Day Trip on March 30, 20262 adults2 children

We had a wonderful day out on the water with Captain Garrett of Fernandina Coastal Charters! Our group included two adults and two boys 11 & 15. We caught a good variety of fish, including whiting, a large black drum and another absolutely humongous black drum, catfish, a small seabass, and the highlight of the day for the youngest boy was catching a bonnethead shark.    Captain Garrett was super friendly, patient, incredible attentive, and kept everything moving—baiting hooks, keeping lines in the water, and handling all the fish. As a bonus, we enjoyed watching pelicans gather and feed while he cleaned the catch, which was a fun and memorable way to wrap up the adventure.

Due to the time of year not a lot if fish available but was knowledgeable when certain fish are in season. caught 12 whiting and a huge black drum! would recommend to anyone with kids or just a couple of pals wanting a laid back time.

Awesome fishing with Captain Garret
Half Day Trip on December 26, 20252 adults

My son and I committed to a four hour charter. Redfish were our target. We hooked our first within 15 minutes off a jettie and continued to catch a variety of species all morning into the early afternoon until our bait ran out. Garrett, our captain, seemed to be having more fun than us making for an absolutely great day.

Reported catch:
Redfish
Speckled Trout
Response from Captain

Thank you Mr Robert. I really enjoyed taking you guys fishing today cant wait till next time.
