Sea Dolphin Charters
If you're looking for a place where you have countless estuaries, hidden bays and inlets, and all-round excellent inshore fishing, you're looking for Fernandina Beach. Sea Dolphin Charters have been fishing the area for years and you can rely on them to take you to the best fishing spots around and put you on the hottest bite!
You will fish from a 21' center console, manufactured by Polar. Her shallow draft allows her to scurry up to the hardest-to-reach inlets and inshore waters, putting you right where the action is. She also has a wireless trolling motor, so you can sneak up to the spookiest fish and keep your cast steady once you get there. A t-top is there as well, to keep you cool from the Floridian sun.
Captain Gerald Wilder will be your guide and assistant on this fishing journey. You will go after a wide variety of exciting local species such as Redfish, Black Drums, Flounders, Blacktip Sharks, Spotted Seatrouts, Whitings, and anything else you may run across in these bountiful waters! The techniques used will mainly be fishing with light tackle, although fly fishing is also available, for the adventurous anglers. Live bait is available on this charter, mainly being Shrimp, a favorite on the local fish's menu.
Customers can find free parking at the marina. Customers are advised to bring polarized sunglasses, adequate clothing, and sunscreen. Live bait is prepared in advance, so you can just get out there and fish!

This was our first time fishing as a family, and it did not disappoint! We knew that going in the off-season meant beautiful weather but fewer fish—but our very first catch was a hammerhead shark! Our boys were absolutely elated, and it instantly became the highlight of the trip. After that, the bites slowed down, but Gerald went above and beyond to find the perfect spots. He pointed out landmarks along the way, like the Georgia naval base and Fort Clinch, which made the experience even more fun and informative. We ended the day catching a few more fish and even got to take some home for dinner. The best part, though, was Gerald’s energy and camaraderie. He made the entire outing memorable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!
Captain saved our boys’ fishing trip. We didn’t catch anything for days on our own. Captain took us to some great fishing spots, and the boys had a fantastic experience catching fish and learning about the waters, environment, and fishing and boating. We’ll definitely be back!
Captain Gerald Wilder was the Best! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and very friendly. My grandson caught many Whiting fish and a SHARK. Great memories were made today thanks to Captain Gerald

Thanks Capt Gerald for a great trip! Our son had a blast on his first fishing trip & was really chuffed to land a big one. Great to catch 3 pods of dolphins & learn all about the area. Recommended!
I can’t express how much fun we had. Our Captain Gerald was fantastic. He was such a joy and our kids warmed up to him instantly. He did a great job explaining the surroundings, made the best of our experience, and had so much patience showing the kids how to fish. Their year was made on this trip. We cannot wait to go again.
