Questions before you book a boat charter in Jacksonville
Can I book a boat charter in Jacksonville by phone?
Yes. Call or text (904) 595-9196 and we will check availability, recommend a boat and send you a booking link by text.
What should I tell you when I contact you?
Tell us your preferred date, how many guests are coming, where you would like to leave from, and what kind of day you have in mind, such as a sunset cruise, a sandbar day or a fishing trip.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Cancel more than 5 days before your trip for a refund minus a 3% processing fee. If your captain cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date. To change your date, contact us as early as you can.
Can I pay later?
Yes. You can reserve now and pay later with Affirm at checkout.
How quickly will you reply after I contact you?
We reply within one business day, usually the same day, by your choice of call, text or email. For a trip in the next day or two, call or text (904) 595-9196 instead of waiting for an email.
Where do your trips leave from?
Trips leave from Jacksonville Beach (Palm Cove Marina), downtown Jacksonville on the St. Johns River, Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Goodby’s Creek, Julington Creek, and Mayport for fishing charters. If you are not sure, pick “Not sure, help me choose” on the contact form and we will suggest the best fit.
How many guests can come on one boat?
Our largest boat, the 44-foot Sea Ray, takes up to 12 guests, and your captain is not counted. The tiki party boat and the 30-foot cruiser take up to 10 guests, and our other boats take up to 6. Anyone who rides along, including a chef or a server, counts toward the guest limit.
Can you help with food, photos or decorations?
Yes. Tick the add-ons you want on the contact form. A professional photographer starts at $199, and our local chef partners can cater your trip. You are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks.
Do I have to book after I contact you?
No. Calling, texting or sending the form is free, and there is no obligation. You book when you are ready, online or by phone.
Can I plan a fishing charter or a burial at sea here?
Yes. Choose “Fishing charter” or “Burial at sea” under “What are you planning?” on the contact form, and the form will ask a few extra questions. Fishing charters leave from the Mayport boat ramp, and burials at sea go at least three nautical miles offshore.
Do you offer captain-only service for my own boat?
Yes. If you have your own boat and only need a licensed captain, contact us with your trip length, departure point and the type of boat. Captain-only service depends on availability and on the vessel being suitable for the trip.
Can you pick us up somewhere other than the marina?
Custom pickup and drop-off points are possible on request, and an extra transport fee may apply depending on the location. Contact us with the spot you have in mind and we will let you know what works.
Is there a restroom on board?
The 44-foot Sea Ray and the 30-foot cruiser both have an enclosed restroom below deck. If a restroom matters for your group, say so when you send the form and we will recommend the right boat.
Can we swim from the boat?
Swimming is allowed on every boat except the 44-foot Sea Ray, weather and conditions permitting. Sandbar stops on the tiki boat and the powerboat are a good time for a swim, so bring swimwear and a towel if a swim is part of the plan.
Can we bring kids?
Yes. Children are welcome with a properly sized life jacket, or bring one made for them. Let us know on the form if any guests are under 12 so your captain can plan for them.
