6-Hour Inshore Charter

Two more hours on the water. Time to fish a second stage of the tide, run farther, and chase more than one species.

$800for 2 anglers
3rd angler +$100

What the 6 hours look like

The 6-hour charter is for anglers who want the whole picture. The extra two hours let Captain Wills fish more than one stage of the tide, which is when different water turns on: flooded grass at the top, creek mouths and oyster edges as it falls.

More time also means more range. The skiff can run farther along the Intracoastal between Palm Valley and St. Augustine, and the day has room to target a second species instead of settling for the first bite.

It is the better trip for serious anglers, for groups of three who want everyone to get real time on the rod, and for anyone who has done the 4-hour trip and wished it kept going.

Who it suits

  • Anglers who want to sight fish and work a full tide
  • Groups of three who want everyone on fish
  • Business outings that should not feel rushed

Shorter on time?

A half day on the Intracoastal marshes. Enough time to work a tide, move when the bite moves, and be back for lunch or dinner.
