Multiple Day/Night Trips with Captain Lillo
on October 20, 2025

There are a lot of guides out there but from my experience, Captain Lillo sets himself apart from the rest. He is my go to inshore guide and I have booked multiple trips with him to date. He is one of the most dedicated and professional captains I have ever fished with. His passion, love, and appreciation for the client and the sport is apparent from the moment you step on his boat to the moment you leave. Furthermore, his enthusiasm towards getting you tight on a fish is nothing but contagious. Every time you catch a fish you can tell he is genuinely happy to share the experience with you. Captain Lillo’s versatility as a captain caters to all clients whether they are beginner or advanced anglers. His breadth of knowledge and experience allows the client to get a personally tailored experience. If you’re like me and love to learn more about fishing and try different fishing techniques , he’s more than happy to cater to this. Whether it be live bait, artificial lures, fly, night or day fishing, if you’re interested in doing it Captain Lillo has you covered. I highly recommend booking with him and believe you will more than satisfied with his services.

Half Day Trip with Captain Cal
4 Hour Trip on September 25, 2025

My wife and I had an exceptional First Ever Charter Boat experience in Jensen Florida with Captain Cal. We signed up for the 1/2 day in- shore fishing trip and were picked up in a new and beautiful 24 foot Sportsman that had plenty of space for us to fish with live bait and top water casting. Captain Cal is extremely knowledgeable and generous with sharing tips and information about the species of fish, the bait we were using, and the techniques to use to catch the fish. We caught Snook (our first) and Jack Cravalle. We are in the process of booking our next Charter with Captain Cal and have invited our friends to share the experience with us. We have our goals set to catch Tarpon and our first Sailfish.

Local to Jensen Beach, Florida, Captain Calvin grew up bass fishing the lakes and ponds of Central Florida, carrying on a family legacy that spans three generations. His grandfather and father both built their careers in the fishing and hunting industry out of Cape Canaveral, and Cal proudly continues that tradition today. After earning his business management degree from FAU, Cal worked in the tackle industry before training under legendary Captain Chris White in the Florida Keys and Stuart, where he spent years mastering the art of targeting sailfish. Now based on the Treasure Coast, Captain Cal combines his deep experience and passion for the outdoors to help others connect with Florida's waters—and inspire them to protect and preserve its natural ecosystem for generations to come.
