$650for 2 anglers
3rd angler +$100
What the 4 hours look like
The 4-hour charter is the half-day trip. It is long enough to fish a full stage of the tide and short enough to fit around a beach day, a tee time or a dinner reservation in St. Augustine.
The skiff leaves from Palm Valley and works the marsh creeks, grass flats and oyster edges of the Intracoastal Waterway. Captain Wills reads the water and the tide on the day and moves when the fish move. Redfish are the headline. Snook, flounder, trout and tarpon are all in play depending on conditions.
Everything needed to fish is on the boat. Beginners get coached from the first cast, and experienced anglers can ask to sight fish the flats when the water allows it.
Who it suits
- Families with kids on their first fishing trip
- Visitors with half a day free
- Anglers who want a tune-up on local redfish water
