Jacksonville, FL Charter Captain – Inshore & Offshore Fishing Adventures.

I'm a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed charter captain based in Jacksonville, Florida, offering fully guided inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing trips. I specialize in targeting a wide range of local species — from Redfish, Flounder, Trout, and Sheepshead in the backwaters and creeks, to Kingfish, Sailfish, and Red Snapper offshore. Whether you're looking to chase trophy fish or bring home fresh fillets like Cobia and Sea Bass, I tailor each trip to meet your goals and the season's best bite.

With over five years of experience working with a local kids fishing camp — and still proudly involved today — I bring a strong focus on education, safety, and fun. Whether it's introducing young anglers to fishing or guiding seasoned pros to their next big catch, I create a laid-back, professional experience for all ages and skill levels.

You're welcome to bring your own alcohol, but please drink responsibly. I won't be providing any, and if anyone becomes too reckless, we'll have to cut the trip short and head back to the boat ramp. That said, my goal is for everyone to have a great time out on the water!

From teaching the basics to chasing offshore trophies, let's get out on the water and make your next fishing adventure one to remember.

Easy, peaceful, fun.

4 Hour- Inshore - 7:00 AM on May 22, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Captain Cook was very polite and welcoming.  Very easy to talk to and was very friendly. He kept us fishing the whole time (even if we had to use another pole while he had to re-hook our snapped line). We were getting bites every third cast and probably caught about 10 fish. Highly recommended and stated he was also very experienced with kids. We had a great experience and will book him again. 

3 adults. 4 hours. Inshore (he took us to about 5 different spots, all different/ peaceful/ relaxing).  Caught fish at every stop.

Great day on the water

4 Hour- Inshore - 7:00 AM on April 25, 2026 • 3 adults

Carson was outstanding! We had a great day on the water catching redfish and trout, and he made the whole trip easy, relaxed, and fun from start to finish. He clearly knows the area, knew where to put us on fish, and kept everything moving without ever making the day feel rushed.

The boat was clean, the gear was ready, and Carson was great to be around — friendly, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a good trip. It felt less like a standard charter and more like fishing with someone who really cares about giving you a memorable day.

Highly recommend Carson, and we would absolutely book with him again.

Fishing lesson charter w/ Capt. Cook.

5 Hour Trip – Inshore on September 4, 2025

I have so many great things to say about our fishing lessons with Captain Cook. Not only was it a great time. It truly was a lesson and the kids haven’t stop talking about it. Captain Cook is young, but more experience than many captains, I know.  He knew exactly where to get us to catch the many different species of fish we caught. he not only taught the kids how to cast and operate their rods and reels, he told them what debate each fish likes best, how to bait their hook, secure their hooks when putting the rods down. He taught them different parts of the boat, and Terminology used when boating. They went over the rules and markers of the waterways. went over what species are in season the rules about catch and release. it was extremely educational. Captain Cook has more patience for children than most parents, I know. it’s quite impressive. we arrived to the marina, where Capt. introduced himself to us. The boat was as clean as a boat can be while fishing. he provided a very safe, smooth charter experience, and a top-notch fishing lesson for our homeschoolers.  Again a confident in experienced captain. While he is phenomenal with children, I’d recommend him as a captain to all ages. We are excited to go again just for a fun charter now that the kids are so confident and enjoy it so much.
