Contact and booking details

A trip planned around the day

The business describes more than 20 years of charter-fishing experience in Fernandina Beach. Captain Danny usually decides which species to focus on after considering the weather the day before the outing.

Possible targets include tarpon, redfish, black drum, trout, flounder, whiting and jack crevalle. The mix changes with the time of year and conditions. Tell Danny which fish interest you, while leaving room for a plan that makes sense on the day.

Four hours or a longer outing

Standard trips are described as four hours from leaving the dock to returning. Morning and afternoon departures are offered, and six-hour bookings are available too. Published four-hour prices start at $500.

Ask how many people the starting price covers and whether your chosen departure has a different rate. A dock-to-dock duration includes travel between the marina and fishing areas, so it is useful to discuss the expected route.

Young anglers and supplied gear

The site recommends its young-angler experiences for children aged six and older. Give the ages in your group when you inquire so Danny can suggest a suitable trip and confirm life-jacket arrangements.

Bait, tackle, rods, ice and fishing-license coverage are listed as provided. Guests supply their own food and beverages. The reviewed page does not specify a boat model, a firm passenger limit or every onboard facility. Check shade, seating and bathroom arrangements if those affect your choice.

Making the reservation

You can call, text or email Captain Danny. The site specifically welcomes texts about booking questions. It lists South Front Street in Fernandina Beach, but the exact place to meet the boat should be confirmed rather than assumed from the general address.

Request the deposit, remaining-payment and cancellation terms before reserving. Ask whether fish cleaning is included and what size cooler should remain in the car. Keep the captain’s contact information available in case weather changes the departure plan.
