You'll be fishing on a 20' Bayboat that accommodates up to 4 anglers. This bay boat offers a smooth, dry, and safe ride throughout the day.

    The Highlight of Our Vacation!

    Half Day Trip on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had an incredible time fishing with Captain Travis! His enthusiasm for what he does is contagious, and his knowledge of the local waters made the trip both exciting and educational. He was incredibly friendly, patient and made everyone on the boat feel welcome. We caught an amazing variety of fish, including a red drum, black drum, bull shark, stingray, flounder, spotted seatrout, and even a blue crab! Every catch made the day more exciting, and Captain Travis was there to help every step of the way. We enjoyed the trip so much that he was kind enough to accommodate us and take us back out again the very next day! That level of flexibility and customer service really stood out. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable fishing experience with a captain who truly loves what he does, I can’t recommend Captain Travis enough. We’ll definitely be back!

    Bucket List Fish Caught

    3/4 Day Trip on July 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    My husband has a bucket list of fish he’d like to catch and today he was able to mark one off of the list. A very large Bull Red about 40 inches. Captain Travis was very knowledgeable about the areas we were fishing in, friendly and courteous to others on the water, accomodating towards us, and a pleasure to be out with on the water. We caught a variety and managed to achieve the Inshore Grand Slam: Red Drum, Spotted Sea Trout, and Flounder. We would most definitely go out with him again!

    The Best Fishing Trip Ever!!

    Half Day Trip on October 5, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was the most memorable fishing trip for our family. Captain Travis was absolutely amazing! He was kind, patient with the kids and explained everything to us throughout the trip. We caught a good amount of fish, which made it very exciting! We also stopped in a quiet spot and were able to see dolphins and a manatee within only a few feet of the boat. It was a wonderful experience and we are looking forward to going out again on our next trip!

    Captain is the man

    Half Day Trip on March 20, 2026 • 4 adults

    Travis is awesome and me and the boys had a blast fishing with him. Caught 3 studs and he fileted them for us. He was super knowledgeable and answered all our questions. If you have experience or no experience fishing it doesnt matter he will hook you up. He will let you bring any drinks or snacks you want. Next time we are in Jacksonville we will be fishing with Travis again. If youre on the fence look no further and book here.

    Fantastic Experience!

    Half Day Trip on December 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    Absolutely amazing charter. Captain was friendly and knowledgeable. His love of fishing was very evident the entire time. He has spent his entire life fishing these waters, and took us to spots his father showed him when he was little. Would recommend to anyone! Although obviously you must know basic fishing knowledge for some of the fishing we did. But the Captain is great, and would def help you even if you are a beginner

    3/4 Day Trip on September 6, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Travis was awesome. He put our party of 4 on some bull reds, and we even were able to catch our limit to bring home! I would recommend Captain Travis to anyone looking for some redfish action!

    Travis is very knowledgeable about the areas to fish and what's biting. I would highly recommend him! For reference, we fished inland, half day trip and caught/released 4 Red Fish.

    Awesome Captain!

    Half Day Trip on February 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a beautiful day on the water. Travis is such a nice guy and loves to fish which showed as he worked hard to get us on some fish. We didn't have luck at first but got on some big Red Fish that were a blast. We will definitely be joining him again for a day on the water and recommend him to our friends.
