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!

Benny is super awesome to charter your fishing trip! Our kids caught shark one each a so amazing ! They want to come back just for that experience in itself ! Benny didn’t hesitate to make sure we all caught something and we caught something as soon as our lines dropped ! He knows where to go ! He’s done it for 32 years so you can imagine he knows how to navigate to those best fishing places - and added a little sight seeing too ! Fort Clinch. 
We ended up upgrading to 4 hours - and we loved it !
Enjoy your fishing - with Benny !

Captain Benny came through with plenty of fish for my nephew and boat.  We all hooked fish with beautiful views and good gear.  Captain Benny had everything we needed including Amelia Island history, fishing and boating knowledge and quick Fernandina Beach wit and humor.  If you are looking for a good time with good people, the Heavy Hitter is for you.

We took out a Heavy Hitter Charter from Captain Benny for my dads 70th birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better day. We caught a couple of 12 pound plus black drum and countless amount of smaller fish. Captain Benny was amazing and walked us through everything that we needed to do and know to fish those waters. We took out a 2 hour charter and would have loved to stay for even longer. I cant recommended Captain Benny enough.
