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.
