Let me start off by saying that Captain Jeff is awesome! He knows the area because he was born and raised here which is a plus! He has fished these waters his whole life. What more could you ask for in a guide!
He is super freindly and accommodating. For a person that has never fished the species. He taught me the do’s and don’ts and how to land the fish properly!
He also had some great recommendations for restaurants that cook your catch so he knows the area well. I highly recommend this charter and Captain Jeff I will definitely be fishing with him again when I visit Vero Beach! And a

plus he is a Big Jimmy Buffett fan and plays his music! My only regret…we did a half day instead of a whole day!

Thank You Captain Jeff for a great fishing trip!

Fishing with Jeff Jenkins in Vero Beach was a fantastic experience, especially for the kids. We spent the day inshore, exploring the calm waters and casting lines near the mangroves. Jeff was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and engaging with the kids, making the trip both fun and educational. The variety of fish we caught was impressive—mangrove snapper, snook, catfish, jack, and even some black drum. The excitement on the kids’ faces with every catch made the day unforgettable. It was the perfect family fishing trip in the beautiful waters of Vero Beach. 

Thanks Jeff for a great day

From the moment we boarded the boat, Captain Jeff’s professionalism and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and excited for the trip. His knowledge of the local waters was impressive, and he wasted no time in getting us to the best fishing spots. It was clear that he was genuinely passionate about finding the fish, and his enthusiasm was contagious. We left with plenty of fish and fantastic memories. If you want a fun, productive, and truly personalized fishing experience, look no further than Captain Jeff. We can’t wait to book our next trip!

I took my 7 year old daughter out for her first intercoastal fishing trip with Capt. Jeff the day before thanksgiving.  We had a great time.  Captain Jeff was so patient and kind to my little girl, and he made sure we caught a fun variety of fish to her delight (the puffer fish were her favorite).  I would ABSOLUTELY book Captain Jeff again.
