Born and raised on the waters of Northeast Florida, Captain Ricky Poupore has been chasing big fish in the Atlantic since he was old enough to hold a rod. With decades of experience under his belt and an instinct for finding the bite, he's built a reputation as one of the top offshore trolling captains in the region.
Specializing in high-speed trolling and live bait tactics, Captain Ricky Poupore targets hard-hitting pelagics like king mackerel (kingfish), cobia, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and tuna. Whether you're hunting your next personal best or just live for the scream of a reel under pressure, his trips are built for anglers who want action—and aren't afraid to battle.
Running out of Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor, Captain Ricky knows the ledges, wrecks, and bait lines where big fish lurk. From seasoned tournament veterans to dedicated weekend warriors, he brings the same intensity and local knowledge to every trip.
If you're looking for a no-nonsense offshore adventure with a shot at trophy fish and memories that'll last a lifetime, this is your ride.
Let's chase something worth fighting for.

8 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore • 3 adultsCaptain Ricky gave us a fantastic experience from first booking to final filleting! Ricky’s communication was great. We chatted throughout the week before to plan our trip and select the best day around the weather. Come charter day, we all met at the dock and were off. Ricky got us a quick stop to catch the poagies we’d need for bait then hit the first spot. We caught a bonita and a nice barracuda, but we were hunting down Kingfish, so a change was needed. hut a couple other spots before landing in a big school of kingfish and the day was roaring. With four fishers rotating we had multiple doubles and kept Ricky busy! We landed 8 more kingfish, keeping one smaller one to eat. Our largest was pushing 30lbs with most in thr 20-25lb range. Ricky is a great guy and we all hit it off from the start. Great conversation between fish about hunting, fishing, dirtbikes and everything in between. We all had prior experience with charters and agreed this was by far thr beat experience we’ve had. We are all ready planning our next trip to St Augustine and will be chartering again with Ricky to target the Spring Mahi and try to get a Wahoo trip as well. He is the Wahoo master. You absolutely cant go wrong planning a day with Ricky and Seaco.

8 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Ricky kept us informed about the weather as the trip approached and called us the night before to let us know we were good to go. The trip was fantastic and we caught at least 20 fish. Captain Rick was super helpful and knowledgeable. He did a great job cleaning the fish and making sure we had a great time.

What's biting with SeaCo Charters – 31' Contender in St. Augustine
Although this is usually the wettest month of the year, it has some big rewards for anglers. Sailfish can be found balling bait just 25 miles offshore and flood tides inshore make for amazing sight fishing.
