My husband, son (visiting from out of town), and I had an amazing time with Captain Benny on our 4-hour fishing tour. I was blown away by how accurately he predicted the size and species of fish we had on our hooks based on how the lines were behaving. He was always spot on! Not only did we catch our lunch for the day, but Captain Benny recommended we take the fish to The Salty Pelican to prepare it for us. We did that just an hour after the charter, and it was delicious! We learned so much about the area and he kept us all laughing. He also took photos for us so we could remember this time together. Captain Benny was an incredible host, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again!

We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Benny! Our group of three—including our 13-year-old son—had an absolute blast. Captain Benny was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He not only helped us catch a ton of fish (some really big ones that gave us a great fight!) but also pointed out interesting local landmarks and shared cool facts about the area along the way.

We’ve done other charters before, but Captain Benny really stood out by going the extra mile. He took tons of great photos throughout the trip, so we could focus on fishing and having fun. Even better, we had all the pictures before we even got back to the dock!

He also put a special emphasis on our safety and comfort the entire time, which made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable.
The trip was fun, relaxed, and memorable from start to finish. Highly recommend booking with Captain Benny if you’re looking for a great inshore fishing adventure!  We will definitely be fishing with Captain Benny again when we have the chance to return to Amelia Island!

cap was great, weather was beautiful, he put us on the fish that were biting!  loon forward to connecting again and hopefully get the big one. 

my 12 year old had a blast, he did not feel like a burden or a little kid while we were out.  he’s been fishing his whole life and was treated to take that in consideration. 

thanks again and hope to see u soon. 

Had a great time with Captain Benny! Family group with 3 Middle Schoolers and they had a great time. Captain was very accommodating and made sure they were fishing as long as possible. we caught some black drum, stripped bass, sharks etc. Catch of the day Captain put us on some monster drums including at 65 lbs beast. Had a great time and would definitely come back

Caught four species of fish from bonnethead to yellow mouth and learned about the local waters from Benny who has been there his whole life. A day on the water learning about the area from someone who knows all the local history and the marine ecosystem is a good day. Visited after some unusual weather and every fisherman we came up on said it was an unusual off day. But at the same time got to see the fort from the water, the sub base, back inlets, the river, the oyster beds and learned where red fish like to go and caught one of them. Launched from a cool part of the island and really felt like I saw something most people dont get to see
