About the charter captain
St. Augustine, Florida, United States
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Captain Justin Brunk was born in Baltimore, Maryland, where he grew up fishing and crabbing the Chesapeake Bay with his father and brother. Although he's held many construction jobs, including trucking, operating heavy equipment, logging, etc., his love for the water was always there, but no one ever told him it could be a career. He was working construction but wasn't happy, so he packed his bags and moved to the Florida Keys, towing a camper, not having a plan, and not knowing what was going to happen. when he landed his first job as a deckhand, he was as green as green could be in the charter industry. He started to make a name for himself, got his master captain's license, and started running charters out of the Hawks Cay Resort in Marathon, FL. Now he's looking forward to showing you an adventure you'll cherish for a lifetime!

Overall great
Justin was an absolute great captain. We limited on everything caught the biggest shark I’ve ever seen in my life 14 foot bull shark is absolute best charter I’ve ever had and I have traveled around the world just a fish in the ocean.

Fishing trip with Justinx2
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time out on the water! Capt. Justin made us feel like we have been buddies for awhile. Plus, he was very knowledgeable, and didn’t give up. Overall, it was an awesome trip and we ended the day out eating our fresh mackerel at the Conch House where they cook your fresh catch. Thank you for this memorable experience! Can’t wait to come back down and fish with this charter again! Highly recommend!
