If it's inshore and nearshore fishing you're after, look no further than 'Live Action Fishing Charters'! Captain Justin Rolph, a Crystal River native, has been running this operation since 2015. This laid-back captain does his best to help you land a great fish while making long-lasting memories.
Your vessel for the day is 22' Nautic Star center console. She can accommodate up to 4 anglers on fishing charters, and 6 on scalloping trips. This smooth-riding boat is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha SHO engine with a Simrad to help keep you on the fish. There is also a cooler onboard to keep your drinks and snacks cool throughout the trip.
Whether you want to fish the flats, sight casting, or head into slightly deeper waters, Capt. Justin has the gear you need to hook your target fish.
From Redfish and Snook to Gag Grouper, Tripletail and Sheepshead, it'll be a rod-bending day! If you'd rather spend your time searching for scallops in the summertime, Captain Justin provides snorkeling gear.
All the fishing and scalloping equipment you need is already on board. At the end of the trip, Capt. Justin is also happy to clean and fillet your catch. Help yourself to the bottled water in the ice box or stock it up with your own drinks and snacks before setting out.
Capt. Justin and the crew look forward to seeing you aboard Live Action Fishing Charters!

We were a group of 2 moms and 2 teen girls. Captain Justin was so great to the girls and helped us learn what to look for and how to fish adequately for each species as we were reeling them in. He put us on fish and had us do the fishing which is what fishing is all about. We usually were catching fish st the same time which was alot of fun. He had zero issues with untangling our lines. The boat had plenty of room for all of us and there were no problems at all. He was personable and pretty entertaining! We saw eagles and nest, mangroves, ray, remora with a science lesson, dolphins right at the boat, tons of species of fish and sea turtle. and wholy cow all of the fish was delicious! even made fish nachos for breakfast to not let them go to waste. We saw massive tarpon close up as well as pelicans. I see now why he gets regular rebookings. All 4 of us instantly knew this would be the best part of our entire trip! Thank you Justin! Jamie and Amelia
Captain Justin Rolph may not have the biggest or fanciest boat, BUT HE WILL PUT YOU ON FISH. You should know how to cast and reel them in. He let's you fish, not just reel them in. This is unlike some other captains we saw. Their clients were sitting as the captain fished and they only stood up when he handed them the reel! If you like to catch fish, Captain Justin Rolph is the man to fish with!! Thanks Justin for another great, memorable day!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the best experience scalloping with Captain Justin! He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and comfortable, while still keeping the trip fun and full of laughs. His knowledge of the water and attention to safety gave us peace of mind, but it was his humor and energy that truly made the day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a captain who knows his stuff and makes the whole adventure enjoyable, he’s the one to book. Can’t recommend him enough!
Captain Justin was terrific and provided us a great day of scalloping! It was our first time, and he was so patient and gave us lots of tips to find the scallops. He also made sure we were safe at all times/was aware of our location while diving for scallops in the open water. He was a great communicator, is very knowledgeable about the water/area, and played some great country music! We will definitely be coming back to fish/scallop with him. We could not have asked for a better Captain!
Captain Justin continues to not dissapoint! Maxed out on all the fish we were looking for and had a great time the whole way!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
When I was younger, fishing wasn't part of my lifestyle in the way that it is now. Now, there's nothing I want more than to be on the water with a rod and reel. Through the years I've learned many new things and I've really enjoyed showing others the small things that can take their angling to the next level. I'm lucky enough to say that I truly do something that I love!
