Great way to spend the day!

4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM2 adults

I had a great experience fishing with Taylor and would absolutely book with him again. I booked my trip with only about 24 hours’ notice, and he was more than willing to accommodate us. From the moment we got on the water, it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing. He consistently put us on fish, and if a spot slowed down, he didn’t hesitate to move us to a better location. His goal was clearly to make sure we had the best experience possible. Taylor was friendly, personable, and great to spend the day with. There were two of us in the group with different skill levels, and he did an excellent job helping and encouraging each of us equally, making sure we both had a successful and enjoyable trip. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who works hard to make your trip worthwhile, I highly recommend booking with Taylor.

    Great Trip

    4 Hour Trip2 adults

    We had an absolutely fantastic day on the water! From the moment we left the dock, the captain was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to find the fish and took the time to share tips and insights that made the trip even more enjoyable. His experience and passion for what he does were evident throughout the day, and he worked hard to make sure we had a great time. To top it all off, he cleaned our catch perfectly before we headed home, making the entire experience completely hassle-free. If you’re looking for an outstanding charter captain who is knowledgeable, hardworking, and dedicated to giving you a memorable day on the water, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking another trip. Highly recommended!

    great inshore trip

    4 Hour Trip2 adults

    i booked this trip for my son and I, it was awesome. We showed up, got on the boat and headed out. The first spot we fished both my son and i hooked up to fish. The captian was patient with us and very insightful giving tips and explaining what to do. We caught about 20 fish together ranging from reds to flounder and trout. I am looking forward to going out again soon!

    Great trip, big reds!

    4 Hour Trip2 adults

    We had an incredible day out on the water with Captain Collins in Jacksonville, Florida! He took my son and me out along the intracoastal, and it turned into a trip we’ll be talking about for a long time. Captain Collins was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He put us right on the fish, and we ended up catching several different species—including some massive redfish that were an absolute blast to reel in! What really stood out was how hard he worked to keep us on the action. If the fish weren’t biting, he didn’t hesitate to change things up—moving spots, adjusting techniques, and doing whatever it took to get us hooked up. That kind of dedication made all the difference. He was also great with my son—making sure he was engaged, having fun, and learning along the way. It made the whole experience even more special. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing guide in the Jacksonville area, I can’t recommend Captain Collins enough. We’ll definitely be booking another trip!

    My Go-To Charter

    4 Hour Trip1 adult

    Captain Taylor asked us to show up earlier to catch the low tide and we were all glad we did. The first spot we hit was nonstop with a good variety and every spot we hit after that was just as satisfying. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable. We will definitely be booking again.
