What You’ll Catch

Expect rod-bending action on mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, grouper, cobia, tarpon, sharks, and even seasonal spiny lobster. Target species shift with weather and tides, but Captain Jeff’s local intel keeps the bite hot year-round.

Family-Friendly Shark Fishing

Thrill-seekers can go head-to-head with nurse, lemon, blacktip, hammerhead, and bull sharks—an adrenaline-pumping option that remains safe for kids thanks to specialized heavy tackle and calm, shallow waters.

“Hook-and-Cook” Convenience

After the final photo, Captain Jeff fillets your catch dockside. Two waterfront restaurants steps from the marina happily prepare your fresh snapper or grouper, transforming a memorable fight into an unforgettable dinner.

Lobster Snorkeling Excursions

During mini-season and early August, swap rods for tickle sticks and dive masks. Snorkel crystal-clear grass flats in search of Caribbean spiny lobster—a tasty twist on the traditional fishing charter that combines underwater exploration with a mouth-watering payoff.

Sandbar Charters – Relax or Rave

    Half-day, three-quarter-day, and full-day options let visitors match the vibe to their schedule.
