A second-generation local captain
Driver grew up in St. Augustine and describes himself as a second-generation captain. He enjoys helping children catch their first fish and adapts techniques to the anglers aboard.
The charter page lists a Pathfinder 25 Hybrid with a Yamaha 300, fish-finding electronics, downriggers and a wireless trolling motor. Fishing parties are limited to four guests.
Inshore or near-coastal rates
Four-hour inshore trips are $500 and six-hour inshore trips $700. Near-coastal fishing is $600 for four hours or $800 for six. These prices cover two guests, with $50 for each additional person up to four.
Redfish, trout, flounder, sheepshead and drum appear in the inshore descriptions. Near-coastal summer trips can seek kingfish, cobia, jacks, tarpon and sharks. Chris can explain which route best fits the current bite and the group’s comfort on open water.
Supplies and catch preparation
Rods, reels, tackle, lures, live bait and fishing licenses are included. Cleaning and filleting of legal retained fish are also listed. Guests bring their own snacks and drinks.
Light tackle, spinning and fly fishing are among the methods offered. Mention a particular technique when booking so the captain can prepare the right equipment.
Arrange the reservation
Call, text or email Chris with the date and guest count. Ask for the launch address, departure time, deposit terms and policy for weather changes. The full-day label here means six hours, so use the actual hours when comparing this service with other charters.
