Fishing Charters in Jacksonville

6 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing charters put you on the water with a licensed captain, a rigged boat and local knowledge of where the fish are running. The market splits by trip length and water: an inshore or half-day trip commonly runs about $400-600 for the boat, while an offshore or full-day deep-sea trip lands closer to $1,000-2,000. Most captains price by the boat rather than per person, so a group of four splits the cost, and many include rods, reels, bait and tackle - always ask what is covered and what you bring. Rates vary by port, season and target species, so compare a couple of operators and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator before you book.

FAQ

Fishing Charters in Jacksonville - common questions

How many fishing charters are there in Jacksonville? +
Lure Compass lists 6 listings for fishing charters in Jacksonville, FL.
Who has the best-rated fishing charters in Jacksonville? +
By Google review volume, Strike-Zone Fishing is the most-reviewed fishing charters listing in Jacksonville (4.7★, 804 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
How much does a fishing charter cost? +
A half-day inshore charter typically runs about $400-600 for the boat, and a full-day offshore or deep-sea trip commonly lands between $1,000 and $2,000. Most captains price per boat, so the cost splits across your group. Rates vary by port, season and target species - confirm current pricing and availability with the operator.
Is fishing gear included on a charter? +
Most charters include rods, reels, bait and terminal tackle, and the captain usually carries the required vessel licenses. Coolers, food and drinks are commonly bring-your-own. Ask each operator exactly what is provided and what you should bring, along with their policy on keeping or releasing your catch.
How do I choose a fishing charter? +
Compare Google ratings and review counts across a few operators, check which species and waters they target and the trip length that fits you, and ask what the price includes. Reviews mentioning the captain by name are a good signal. Once you have a shortlist, confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Jacksonville? +
Most Jacksonville charters run about $450-$1,200. Half-day inshore trips on the St. Johns and around the jetties sit at the low end, while full-day offshore runs for snapper, grouper and mahi, and private boats, reach the top. Confirm the all-in price with the operator.
What can you catch around the Mayport jetties? +
The Mayport jetties and the St. Johns River hold redfish, speckled trout and flounder through much of the year, plus big sheepshead on the rocks in winter. It is prime inshore structure. Ask your captain to target the jetties if you want a shot at all three.
Can you do both inshore and offshore fishing out of Jacksonville? +
Yes, that mix is what makes Jacksonville stand out. Inshore trips fish the river, marshes and jetties for reds and trout, while offshore runs from Mayport chase kingfish, snapper, grouper and mahi. Decide which style you want and the captain will set up the trip.
What is the best season to fish Jacksonville? +
Redfish and trout are catchable year-round inshore, with winter adding sheepshead at the jetties. Kingfish fire up nearshore in spring and fall, and summer offers the best window for offshore mahi and bottom fishing on calmer seas. Season shapes whether inshore or offshore fishes best.
