Great fishing trip - The weather was great. The guide was great. The fish didn’t totally cooperate, but the seagulls tried to eat all our bait, but we had a great time and Captain Wayne was fantastic.

Fantastic everything! - We booked this trip for 4 of us for 4 hours and had a fantastic experience. We managed to catch 12 Black Drum and 10+ Red Snapper, which enabled us to cook them on the barbecue for lunch the next day. We found it to be excellent value for money. Wayne was lovely and very accommodating, and we would definitely do this again. We also found that this trip was one of our highlights of our holiday, and we would definitely do it again...!

My son enjoy time! - My 13yo son and I went on a fishing trip on the Private Jacksonville; it was brilliant. The captain, Wayne, was friendly, knowledgeable, and really patient with us (it was our first experience of sea fishing). We caught lots of fish, including 20+ redfish and cobia, learned lots about the local species, & we had a delicious fresh fish dinner at home. It was a perfect introduction to fishing, and we both had a fantastic time. next visit in May holidays

Fishing feels like Captain Jack Sparrow vibes. - Move over Captain Jack Sparrow. Wayne made our son's dream come true. A week of bad weather, and on Thursday it broke. Lots of fish were caught, like cobia, king mackerel, black drum, snook, barracuda, and grouper an exciting outing that the children loved. We couldn't recommend this trip more. Thank you, Wayne.

Awesome day out in water - Have been fortunate to go out with Captain Wayne, whose friendly and easy-going manner will try to ensure that you have a great experience, whether it's king mackerel or snook. If you're a novice, the kit is provided with a bit of tuition. The only thing to say is on occasion you may not always get a bite; 4 hours on the water is a pleasant enough experience. Highly recommended.

Boat fishing trip - I've been on Wayne boats for 6 hours and 3 times now and never been disappointed. This trip was no exception, with lots of fish, mostly king mackerel (30+), and a brilliant, relaxed and funny atmosphere. Can't wait to go again in summer!

25 fish caught! - We come to Jacksonville every month, and every time we come, we try and get out with Captain Wayne. It's a lovely way to spend 4 hours with the kids (9 and 12), being able to join in and catch black drum and snook. Catch more fish when the water is warm. See you again, Wayne.

Friendly, helpful and great fishing trip! - My son and I went on a six-hour trip, and we caught over 40+ fish in 4 hours - a mixture of King Mackerel and mainly Redfish- captain Wayne was friendly and provided lots of simple helpful advice. We enjoyed it so much that we took our two little grandchildren and the rest of the family fishing, and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the relaxed atmosphere. We caught another 8 Barracuda, and we have had quite a few meals of excellent fresh fish as a result.
