Funk Charters offers inshore fishing around Jensen Beach with Captain Austin Funk. The Florida-born guide fishes the Indian and St. Lucie river area aboard a 2022 Sportsman Masters 227 bay boat.

Contact and booking details

Austin Funk's fishing platform

The operator describes Austin as insured and holding a USCG Six-Pack license. His boat has a Yamaha 200, dual eight-foot Power-Poles and a Minn Kota Instinct trolling motor. A flip-up bench, console seat and dry storage are advertised.

Four guests are allowed, including children, but generally only two or three fish at once in tight areas. This helps avoid tangles when a fish takes the bait. There is no onboard bathroom; nearby restroom stops may be available on request.

Rates and the bait supplement

Four hours is $600 for two guests, while six hours is $850. Additional anglers are $50 each, up to the four-person maximum. Shorter outings can be requested directly.

The price includes bait, tackle, rods, reels, license coverage, ice, bottled water and fish cleaning or bagging. Seasonal croakers are an optional premium bait at extra cost. Ask for the supplement if Austin recommends them for your planned snook trip.

Deposit and cancellation choices

A $100 deposit is required when booking two or more weeks ahead. Cancellations with at least seven days' notice receive a full deposit refund. Inside that period, the deposit is applied to rescheduling rather than refunded.

If Austin cancels for hazardous weather, mechanical trouble or another extreme circumstance, guests may reschedule or receive a refund. Cash, Zelle, Venmo and cards are listed payment choices. Confirm any additional payment method or charge when arranging the reservation.

Arrival and personal gear

Call, text or email Austin with your preferred date. The contact page gives 2065 NE Indian River Drive but labels it as a boat-ramp departure, so confirm the exact park and meeting position. This avoids confusion between nearby Jensen Beach launch areas.

Guests may bring food, drinks, a small cooler and their preferred fishing outfit. Wear suitable clothing and polarized sunglasses. Tell Austin about children's ages, casting ability and restroom needs so he can plan the route and fishing pace.

Details checked October 9, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
