    Amazing fishing trip

    8 Hour Trip – Private on September 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    My Uncle flew in from out of state for this trip. We’d both been really looking forward to it, hoping the weather would be good and we’d have some luck. We were hoping to get some Red Snapper and hook in to at least a handful of bull redfish. Boy howdy did we have a day! We caught about 3 dozen snapper and close to 40 bull reds! We even got a nice looking Spinner Shark in between. Now don’t misunderstand; fishing any time can be hit or miss, and even Captain Ethan said we had an extremely good day…but Olivia J did NOT disappoint! We kept 4 larger snapper and 2 big Redfish. We had a spectacular experience with Olivia J Charters!

    What a wonderful day!!

    5 Hour Trip – Private - 1:00 PM on April 8, 2026 • 3 adults

    Rodney and Ethan were such a delight. They are so knowledgable and was so attentive. Ready to help when needed!! WE WILL BE BACK!! IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY. Rodney and Ethan, thank you so much. Anyone would love this trip! I would suggest at least 7 and that if they are mature and have patience. We caught our limit of fish and then Ethan cleaned them for us!! It was a great day. If you have never road in the ocean on a boat, use dremamine before you get on the boat. One guy is our group was so sea sick, it was no fun for him. He was literally green at the gills!!

    Captain Rodney and his first mate Eithan are workhorses.

    5 Hour Trip – Private on July 19, 2026 • 6 adults

    They showed us a great time and put us on some awesome fish. They worked tirelessly to make sure all the people in our party had a badass experience. Their work ethic was unmatched. On top of that they had fun personalities which made for a stellar trip. 5 out of 5. These guys rock.

    great morning trip at end of May

    5 Hour Trip – Private on May 29, 2026 • 4 adults

    Managed to put 12 Bull Reds in the boat and a couple of keeper state-water snapper. The fish were biting so good they were practically filling out the cooler themselves! Big shoutout to Olivia J Charters for putting us on the fish. If you're looking for a good time, sore arms, and a fish story your friends might actually believe, give them a shot.

    Caught what we went for.

    5 Hour Trip – Private on September 29, 2026 • 3 adults

    Caught Red Drum. Good trip out. The shark was fun. Not for one of the guest’s illness, we could’ve hauled in some more for the thrill of specie surprise and the challenge to land. Overall a good half trip out.

    Captain Ethan knew exactly where to go for us toget some King Mackerel and Reds. He was extremely helpful to my teenage son and my 11-year-old. They said it was one of the best experiences of their lives.
