Captain Joe is AMAZING and created a wonderful experience for my family to get their sea legs!!  My husband and I took our three kiddos, ages 16,13,and 10, on their first deep sea fishing trip.  All three children had a blast beginning with a fantastic ride out to our fishing spot, spotting a pod of dolphins along the way, and finally stopping over a jackpot of snapper.  As soon as our lines were dropped, we had fish on. Captain Joe pivoted from one kid to the next baiting, helping and teaching. My husband had a great time as well, as this was his first trip too.  I got a little sea sick, and captain joe was ready with ginger ale and water! While fishing, we saw a MASSIVE turtle. 80 years old at least!  It was truly such a wonderful time and memories were made!  Our youngest said “Captain Joe was the best!,” and he was right!  All three kids talked about the trip and captain joe for the rest of the day. We will be back to fish with him!

His boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making it a great setup for a half-day trip.
My son has Down’s Syndrome and Capt. Joe took the time to teach him how to cast and reel, celebrating every moment with genuine enthusiasm. My son landed his first fish.

I wholeheartedly recommend Captain Joe for anyone looking for an inshore fishing adventure in St. Augustine, especially for families or those with special needs. His professionalism, local knowledge, and genuine kindness make him a standout. We’re already looking forward to booking another trip!

Captain Joe was so nice and accommodating as well knowledgeable. He knows exactly where the fish are and didn’t waste any time on a spot that wasn’t working for us. My mom was so nervous to get out there and he made her feel so comfortable and checked on her regularly through the trip. He’s an ethical fisherman which is important to me and we caught so many different types of fish. If you want to have a fun and safe fishing trip while also catching a ton of fish, we would all highly recommend Captain Joe!

Captain Joe was amazing! He took us to some fantastic spots and helped us have an unforgettable time! We caught a LOT of fish! Made my dad’s day with all the fish he caught! Including the fights with the big ones that snapped the lines! He’s still bragging about it! Got some of the most incredible pictures for our trip! It was phenomenal! Thanks Joe for a fantastic experience! Looking forward to seeing you next year!!

Captain Joe and his first mate were both top notch. They were quick to respond to all our needs. The entire charter was a pleasure from launch to back dockside, with our catch cleaned and prepared for a fresh meal.Would highly recommend this for a first time experience or a seasoned fisherman. He had us on a variety of fish offshore and in intercostal waters spots. Every fisherman knows there are many factors to consider when choosing how your going to be successful on the water. Joe takes pride in understanding that and truly enjoys his clients having a successful and memorable experience . We would have given them 10/10 stars but the survey only allows for 5. Joe and Kyle remind you that the best effects of fine people are felt long after you leave their presence. They enjoy themselves and it shows.
