    Amazing adventure for our family!

    4 Hour Trip – Bay/Nearshore (AM) • 5 adults

    This was the best money we spent on Vacation. Our 3 boys had the best time doing what they loved and Captian Mark and his first mate made this trip an aventure of a lifetime for them with some shark fishing. Book your charter with Jesse James Chater!

    The Skipper and Mate were wonderful. I took my Grandson who had never been ocean fishing, and we caught way more fish than I expected, I am a noted terrible fisherman, but they were patient, helpful and I never caught so many before and I am old. My Grandson is now considering buying a fishing boat.

    we had an awesome time, very professional, courteous, informative, and stern (lol). even with not so favorable weather, we made the best of it and enjoyed the day fishing, and even landed a few sheepshead & a blackfish.

    Drift fishing for flounder in the bay, pretty much had continual action all morning long. Six nice keepers and easily fifty other fish caught and thrown back. Captain and mate were awesome. Great morning with the family.
