Rocketman Charters in Jacksonville

Captain Jon Houston runs Rocketman Charters around Jacksonville’s tidal waters. His Pathfinder is sized for a small group, with inshore trips and tide-dependent outings for anglers interested in shallow-water fishing.

Contact and booking details

A small-boat guide service

Houston worked as a charter mate before starting Rocketman in 2018. His published biography describes a 100-ton captain credential. The business focuses on guided fishing rather than putting several unrelated parties onto a large boat.

The listed vessel is a Pathfinder 1900 carrying up to three guests. Tell Jon about the ages and experience of everyone coming so he can choose a suitable fishing approach.

Four or six hours on the water

Published prices are $500 for four hours and $650 for six hours. The longer option leaves more time to move between productive water and work through changes in the tide. Ask which length fits your preferred species and travel schedule.

Flood-tide fishing is also offered. Its timing follows the tide calendar, so it may not fit a standard morning departure. Discuss dates with Jon before arranging the rest of your day around this specific outing.

Equipment and practical arrangements

Bait, tackle, fishing licenses and cleaning of legal retained fish are included in the operator’s trip information. Guests should settle food, drinks and personal clothing arrangements directly when reserving.

The website identifies Jacksonville but does not establish one fixed public boarding address for every trip. Get the ramp, meeting time, parking instructions and weather policy with your booking confirmation. Use the phone or email above to request available dates and a final quote.
