Family fun

4 Hour Inshore4 adults2 children

There are things you can’t control when fishing. You can’t control the weather and you can’t make the fish go crazy. What you can do is have a good attitude and a friendly demeanor. These guys worked so hard on a day that wasn’t the best day. We still got on some fish and had fun despite the conditions. They gave me the option to cancel but my family wanted to go. Like I said, they did better than most fisherman can do in the cold and wind. My boys caught the biggest they have got to date and had a blast. Total pleasure to meet Will and Jake. Thanks

    Great trip - great memories!

    3 Hour Inshore - 8:00 AM4 adults

    Excellent experience from booking through the end! Captain was in regular communication before our trip regarding weather and all details. Personable and knowledgeable while taking us to different spots to ensure we had as many opportunities to cast and catch as possible (caught black and ref drum and some other smaller kinds too)9. Coming from freshwater fishing in Virginia we were taught not only how to salt water fish, but about the different catch possibilities. They set everything up for us, taught us and made it easy for our 13 year old to boost his fishing confidence. We will be booking with him next time we come to Florida!

    Amazing Family Trip

    4 Hour Inshore4 adults1 child

    Outstanding! We could not have asked for a more enjoyable day. Captain Will and Jake were excellent hosts and accommodating to our 7 year old. They kept us on the fish all day. What impressed me the most was their honesty. We had booked a previous week, but due to wind, Captain William recommend that we reschedule. We have fished alot; sometimes in awful weather and caught nothing. Never have we had a captain offer to reschedule. The fact Captain William was willing to postpone because he knew we probably would not catch anything was greatly appreciated and totally unexpected since we had already paid. Book with Captain William and Jake. You will not be disappointed.

    Never too old to fish!

    3 Hour Inshore - 8:00 AM4 adults

    These fellows even line up perfect weather. We took Dick, an 89 year old avid fisherman on a dream charter. The boat was stable and easy to access. The captain Will and mate Jake were very attentive and professional. We got to great fishing spots and somehow our wish that Dick catch the biggest fish was fulfilled with him pulling in a 23± inch Redfish. It was a day made in heaven for us. My grandson and the rest of us brought in whiting, black drum, pin fish, puffer fish and even a flounder. We're already planning future trips with Old Coast Charters.

    Great Experience

    3 Hour Inshore - 8:00 AM4 adults2 children

    I booked this trip primarily for my sons. Captain Will answered all of my messages promptly, very proactive with communications, really did an amazing job with coordinating our schedules. Both he and First Mate Jake, were knowledgeable and incredibly patient, responsive to all of our questions. From a mom’s perspective, definitely family friendly. Would definitely book with them again.

    I can definitely recommend!

    This was a fishing trip for my 12-year-old grandson who loves to fish, but has not had a lot of luck catching them. Captain Will and Scott worked so hard. The first place we stopped was a magical. You could hardly get the lines in fast enough to pull up a fish. 😄 my grandson‘s face said it all.👏
