Great Trip

2 Hour Trip5 adults2 children

We enjoyed our trip ! This was our 2nd time saltwater fishing but our first with heavy hitters. Captain Benny was great ! He was VERY knowledgeable and great with our 3 kids!He took the time to teach our kids about saltwater fishing . We fish fresh water and of course that definitely different. We caught 25 whiting, 2 Bonnethead sharks and a couple of saltwater catfish . It was great day on the water. Definitely would recommend him for anyone looking to do some saltwater fishing. Will book again if we are down that way again.

    Such a great time!!

    2 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    We had an absolutely amazing time fishing with Captain Benny Hendrix! 🎣 It was a two-hour trip to celebrate my father’s birthday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Benny was a fantastic captain, made the trip so much fun, and was wonderful with the kids. We caught a bunch of fish and even landed two sharks! 🦈 The kids had an absolute blast and are already asking when we can do it again! It was such a fun, memorable way to celebrate my father’s birthday, and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Captain Benny, for an incredible trip! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun family fishing adventure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    What a day!

    3 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    We booked a 3 hour charter 9-12, after an awesome picture in front of Ft Clinch and a tour near Cumberland Island we pulled up at our first spot. It had a lot of catfish so Capt Benny immeadiately moved us a little ways away and Bam! We were on the fish; Whiting, Spot fish, Jacks, and even a few Bonnethead sharks! Everyone in the boat caught a bunch of fish, we then moved on to go after the big dawgs. Chunk bait in deeper water and we hooked into 2 good sized sharks. Everyone got a turn pulling on them and we got both to the boat. Capt. Benny was a great help to everyone, being born and raised in the area he had a ton of local knowledge and knew all the spots the fish like to hang out. Also just a great guy to spend a few hours with. All in all an amazing trip, we all made awesome memories and we would absolutely book Capt. Benny again!

    Laid back and family friendly.

    4 Hour Trip - Jettys • 6 adults

    Captain Benny was delightful; from the minute my family arrived at the bait shop he made us feel welcomed and safe. From charming stories about his past to endless jokes and anecdotes to keep the mood light, Benny is a full professional. There is no one I would have felt safer captaining myself and my family. Four hours flew by as Captain Benny took us around Amelia Island. With an impromptu tour, Benny was full of surprises. He truly cared about making my family’s experience worth while. There was not a moment where I regretted making room for Captain Benny on my trip and I can bet that you won’t either.

    Will definitely come back!!! Wonderful experience!!

    2 Hour Trip - 6:30 PM • 3 adults

    We went on a fishing trip on my dad's birthday!!!!!! Awesome experience!!!! Captain Hendrix did an excellent job with helping us catch fish, and he was highly knowledgeable about the area!!!! I highly recommend Captain Hendrix if you want to experience deep Sea fishing for the first time. he was very patient with us and was very accommodative, even though we showed up 30 minutes late. Had I known this experience would turn out like this, I would've brought tipping money. overall, great time!!! will be back with more people and a longer reservation time!!!

    Great day on the water!

    4 Hour Trip - Jettys • 4 adults

    Captain Benny was fantastic — knowledgeable, informative, and had us on fish right away. We landed about a dozen fish, brought our catch into town, and had a local spot cook it up into some amazing fish tacos. Great bonus on the out: we spotted a military submarine coming into port, which was a really cool first for me. Captain Benny made the whole trip smooth and fun from start to finish. he was patient with the kids on how techniques and everyone had a rod in thier hand at all times. Highly recommend booking with him if you want a productive, enjoyable day on the water!
