  Capt Cole was great and we had a fun trip

  4 Hour Trip on May 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  My wife and I booked a 4 hour (a.m.) inshore trip with Capt Cole. Took us approx 10-15 minutes to get to our spot where we started fishing. He put is on the fish immediately….I was extremely fortunate to have caught a fish on my first cast. We caught about a dozen fish; catfish, jack crevalle, redfish, black drum, trout and a few other species. Capt Cole was personable and fun to be around. He kept us moving around trying to keep us on the fish and he was constantly on alert with action around us in order to give us the best opportunity in getting fish in the boat. I would recommend Capt Cole for your charter fishing trip. His experience and professionalism were great, his boat was just right, and his prices were tolerable and comparable to other charters.

  The One that Got Away

  3 hour morning on July 12, 2026 • 3 adults

  Really enjoyed our trip with Captain Cole. we ended up only catching 2 fish (ladyfish and a flounder), but it wasn’t for a lack of effort by Cole. He trued to get us on the fish, but sometimes nature has other ideas. We did hook a monster stingray, which gave my 13yo and my husband a helluva fight. It ended up getting off, but what fun nonetheless. i think what impressed me most, was the true guidance Cole gave my son. You can tell Cole loves what he does. I would 100% book with Cole again if Im in St Augustine.

  First fishing trip in St. Augustine was Amazing!

  4 Hour Trip (PM) on January 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  First fishing trip in St. Augustine and Captain Cole was fantastic. We caught a good amount of fish while having great conversations about the local waters and St. Augustine. He was very easy going and moved us around a lot to get to areas where the fish were. We felt very relaxed and safe and knew we were with someone who had extensive knowledge of the fish and where they like to hide. We would highly recommend Captain Cole and we will be using him for future fishing trips. It was the perfect day to be on the water. Thank You So much for making my husbands birthday trip so memorable.

  Capt. Cole for the W!

  4 Hour Trip on April 22, 2026 • 3 adults

  From the second we got on board until the last cast we had a blast with Captain Cole. He knew the water ways like the back of his hand, was a great coach and always had a plan. We caught red fish, jack, toad fish and the ELUSIVE Northern florida Snook! 100% recommend booking his charter!

  Great trip!!

  4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 10, 2026 • 2 adults

  The fishing trip and Capt Cole was great. It is not always about how many fish are caught. Capt Cole traveled to various spots and worked hard to put the guys on fish. A beautiful 23” Redfish was caught and the filets taken to the Conch restaurant, fresh and absolutely delicious !! I would definitely recommend Capt Cole for your next fishing adventures. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and experienced to the area!! 5 Stars 👍
