We are a Professional and affordable family friendly charter service located in Jacksonville, Florida and surrounding areas.
Your safety is our number one concern! All of our gear and safety equipment is USCG certified and up to date and we are USCG licensed and insured.
We offer light tackle 'INSHORE' fishing trips in the St. Johns River and along miles of green/gold grass in our beautiful backcountry tributaries.
The St. Johns River is an ancient intercoastal lagoon system, which gets its tea color from tannins, a natural color caused by decaying plant material. As sea levels dropped, barrier islands became an obstacle that prevented water from flowing east to the ocean. The water collected in the flat valley and slowly meandered northward, forming the St. Johns River.
Tannic Water Adventures is a member of the Maritime Drug Testing Consortium and we are a 100% Drug-Free vessel.
We specialize in Family Fun Adventures that include light tackle fishing trips for Redfish, Trout, and Flounder and other seasonal species.
Tannic Water Adventures can accommodate any trip to fit your needs within reason.
With Tannic Water Adventures you will get a Captain with over 40 years of St. John's River Knowledge that is USCG Certified and is the owner and operator, not a subcontracted Captain.
Our Vessel is the 24' Lake And Bay boat that is designed and built to handle the rough bay and nearshore waters of the St. John's River and the Atlantic Ocean with comfort and style. With a draft of only 13 inches of water, the modified VEE hull with an 8'6'' beam creates a stable, spacious platform for fishing or enjoying the day on the water with friends and family powered by the reliable Yamaha engine.
So go ahead and book your next adventure with us!

Connie WebsterRepeat angler5.0VerifiedRed Friday Beat Black Friday with Reel Deal
Half Day Adventure A.M on November 28, 2025 • 2 adultsColdest day since last Winter, turned hot with catches. This charter is definitely the “reel” deal. Captain Austin puts you on them. He is raw and knowledgeable. Listen to his instructions and you will catch fish. This was our 5th charter this year, and the best by far. Love the marina location, Captain Austin knows the holes, has great equipment and damn good at telling you how to get them in the boat. Planning another trip with Tannic and is now my go-to for inshore fishing. Thanks so much Captain Austin for making a cold day a hot ending!

Half Day Adventure A.M on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childOur family enjoys boating and fishing. It was enjoyable for everyone to see the city from a different perspective, while encountering lots of dolphins, a manatee, and catching some fish, including our first flounder. Cpt Austin was knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging to the adults and our children ages 15 and 4.

Taylor Hawkins5.0VerifiedEarly Fathers Day outing
Half Day Adventure A.M on June 14, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had an awesome morning on the St John’s River with Capt. Austin. We caught flounder, black drum, red fish, sheepshead and a fat cat. And we saw a manatee! Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to catch many different kinds of fish.

Half Day Adventure A.M on July 25, 2026 • 2 adultsOur first time fishing in Florida and it didn’t dissapoint! Capt was great! Explained everything and put us on plenty of fish! If you are ever in the Jacksonville area you should definitely book with him!
Bachir SaoudRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day of fishing
Half Day Adventure A.M on April 11, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childMy kids thoroughly enjoy fishing with capt. Austin. We caught quite a bit of rainbow trout and drum and came home and had dinner. Austin is top notch. Scheduled for Thursday but high winds were in the area and he conveniently adjusted his schedule to take us out on a warm calm day on the river. We highly recommend Austin and Tannic Water Adv.

Half Day Adventure A.M on February 14, 2026 • 2 adultsAustin knows what he is doing and put us where the fish were. Unfortunely the bite was a little slow today but vibes were high and the equipment was top notch. Will defintely book again when the fishing and weather heats up.
