  Making Memories

  4 Hour Inshore Trip on June 12, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  Captain Alden and First Mate Will run an organized, safe, fun, and top notch charter. We had a phenomenal trip on our inshore fishing experience. The boat is comfortable, the guys were experienced and great with all ages. We had 3 generations on our 6 person trip and made some wonderful memories together. These guys put us on the fish, catered to every person, keeping us baited up, taking care of things before we even asked. We caught red and black drum, enough for fresh dinner and the freezer! They were patient and very willing to answer questions and teach our first time fishers the very basics. It is a win for us when my 6 year old granddaughter now loves fishing like I do. Thank you Captain Alden and Will!!! We will definitely be back.

  Hot Reels - With Capt “Will”

  5 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on July 1, 2026 • 1 adult

  For Anyone Reading, This was my first time out with Hot Reels; first time with a true a private charter. Previously have been on multiple Deep Sea Party Charters and was blessed to finally be able to go on a private. Capt. Alden communicated from beginning, any questions, to the day off. Pleasantly took off with Capt Will and had an amazing trip with a young man, knowledgeable, charismatic, and humble! Placed on lots of fish, some keepers, some not but at the end of the day, we FISHED the entire the entire trip!! “I’ll Be Back 😉!”

  Perfect family fishing experience!

  4 Hour Inshore Trip - 1:00 PM on July 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  Finding something unique to to do with your family during vacation can sometimes be daunting. So, one of my kids suggested fishing. I researched the many options available in St. Augustine, and landed on Captain Alden. Sure was glad I did. He was very helpful, professional and his boat was clean and big enough for the six of us. Captain Alden was very helpful and patient with the kids, educating all of us of the different fish species we caught. Overall a five star trip!
