Captain Jack helped us on board and provided life jackets which we were required to wear. It was evident he had been sailing for many years as he handled the boat with such ease. You could also see his passion for sailing as he maneuvered the sailboat across the river. My friends and I truly enjoyed our ride. It was my first time sailing and I would love to do it again in the future. Thank you Captain Jack for the nice smooth ride and thank you Debbie for the new adventure;)

The day of he took all my friends 2 or 3 at a time sailing around Julington Creek for 20ish minutes or so. Each came back with their own magical feeling of what they had just experienced. Capt Jack. was kind and patient and you could tell he loved sailing. He was a story teller also sharing his experiences and history around this river.. I took my trip last as I wanted the sunset and thats exactly what I got. It was beautiful..breath taking.. the wind blowing in your hair ..the sound of the breeze pressing against the sails..sitting with friends and watching the sun set was a very emotional moment and that is what gives me LIFE. I highly recommend CJS for your events or maybe some lessons. Kids are his specialty also..check his site out!

Our family loves to fish, but since we don't own a boat, that's where Captain Cory with 310…read moreCharters comes in. We have had the opportunity to fish with Captain Cory multiple times, and every trip has been a great experience. Whether you're looking to entertain a business client, fish a local tournament for fun, or simply spend quality time on the water with family and friends, he is the captain to call. What really sets Captain Cory apart is how great he is with kids. Our daughters always feel comfortable and confident on his boat. He took the time to teach one of our girls how to cast, and now she casts like a champion. Nothing makes a parent happier than watching their children light up while reeling in fish and making memories they'll never forget. Captain Cory works hard to put his guests on fish and make sure everyone has a fun, successful day on the water. As much as we'd love to keep him our family's best-kept secret, more families deserve the kind of experience we have every time we fish with him. We can't wait for our next trip with 310 Charters!

Can't wait to do it again!! Thanks for a beautiful day on the water!

The sunrise tour was stunning -- truly the most beautiful time to be on the water as the birds and critters wake up. We're planning to book another tour to do the bioluminescence paddle at night as well. This sunrise tour is going on my list of best things to do in Jax -- it's truly NE FL at its best. Everything was super easy to book and Hayden had our gear ready and waiting to go, so we were able to get right on the water and see the full sunrise over the river.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Jodi Lyn and would not recommend it to anyone…read more From the moment we boarded the boat, it was clear that this operation was more focused on making money than providing a safe or enjoyable experience for their customers. The captain never introduced himself, the first mate was impersonal and seemed in a bad mood from the start. (Several times throughout the trip he would just be standing there shaking his head to himself). First off, the weather/water was not good. It was uncomfortable, and the crew seemed to know that. We expressed our concern and asked if he (first mate) had been out in this bad before and he assured us that it had been just as bad or worse the two days before and it was ok and fish were still caught. Now, keep in mind we had already rescheduled once due to weather and are perfectly reasonable people who would be willing to reschedule again, especially for that amount of money. We were briefed on safety procedures and life jacket's and were met with dismissive attitudes. The entire trip our friends and family were being tossed around the cabin, off the bench, even the coolers were being tossed around. The fishing itself was poorly organized. The fish weren't biting at all, they offered to go bottom fishing but warned us that the boat would be beaten worse and we would be tossed around more (that right there shows you they knew our experience was already less that pleasant ). The first mate seemed rushed and frustrated through the process. Barely talked to us, did seem to talk more to the younger people on the boat though. There was little guidance or effort to make the experience enjoyable for everyone, and it felt like we were just a means to an end -- filling spots on their boat for a quick profit. What frustrated me the most was how clear it was that safety and customer satisfaction took a backseat to their bottom line. When we called the owner afterwards to express our concerns he literally said "I don't blame them for not wanting to call the boss and reschedule again." This was not a fun, relaxing outing, that we paid for, for our son's birthday-it felt like an operation where we were just numbers to them. Save your money and find a charter that values both your safety and your experience. This one does neither.

Amusing I haven't written a review here- I frequent Dockside (formally known as Safe Harbor) and…read morewhile I have not put in a boat at this launch, I have enjoyed the views from the waterways bordering this lot. Rarely not busy- weekends are exceptionally full and you need to be extra aware of your surroundings while driving or walking through this lot. With the extremely popular restaurant next door- the road leading in and out is busy and narrow, especially when passing big trucks towing boats! I love sunset here, and popped in just the other night for a spectacular light show of the sun setting over the inter-coastal. Happy boaters cruising by or coming out of the water. A very popular spot indeed. Along the wooded side is a crazy amount of stray cats- another reason to be careful while driving through. I have been known to show up with cat food and play the pretend to be the crazy cat lady... well, I'm not really pretending. Happy boating if you are lucky to have one, enjoy the views if you are in the area, and look out for kitties too!

The boat…read moreramps are huge and well maintained and they allow four boats to be launched at a time, nestled next door to safe harbor restaurant, right up the street from ricks bait and tackle and an ice machine, BUT there is not enough parking! Seriously Jacksonville needs fix this. How are you going to have an ideal place like this where there are only about 15 parking spaces for truck and boat trailers. I highly recommend that if you are going to launch here, either you go at the crack of dawn, late in the evening, or during the week.

I've been on several charters on the Great Lakes and dealt with some high strung Captin's. Alex was laid back and made the trip very enjoyable. With it being the kids first time we opted for the four hour charter and only went about ten miles out. The kids had a blast reeling in some King Mackerel, Albacore Tuna and even a Barracuda 13 in all. When we made it back to the dock Capt. Alex and Chase filleted our catch for us and sent us home with a cooler full. If your in St. Augustine looking for a charter there are several you could choose but only one you should!

I pretended he told me his name was Bob, and I pretended that Bob told me to enter the store. Pretend or not, that turtle drove me to the store. Fortunately, I listened to Bob. This is despite not being a diver. But I am a snorkeler! In fact, the next time someone asks me my hobby, I'm going to say, "I'm a snorkeler." I have never heard that before. I bought some snorkel equipment and headed to Florida Springs. You know what kind of fish I saw there? Me neither. I just know they were little colorful ones. I also saw many of Bob's friends, many of which said hello. As far as the shopping experience goes, A+. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended--even if you only snorkel.
