There were also many covered benches available all along the pier. Plus, lots of fishermen. There's a drive up circle at the beginning of the pier, convenient for dropping off and picking up someone.

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!

Drew has such an incredible eye for seeing the flounder. He would see ones that when we would back up and he would point to them, it would still be almost impossible to find until we got right up to them. For context, We had a pretty strong storm earlier in the day. Capt Drew offered to let us cancel if we wanted but we chose to go ahead since it was a day and time that worked for the whole group. When we started out, the water clarity was cloudy but Capt Drew kept us on the Flounder all night!! I say that to say that with less than ideal conditions, he still had us in more flounder than I've ever seen before. And just as he said as the night progressed, the water continued to clear up and we were gigging more and more. I've been gigging 2x before and neither of those trips were anything like this one. Absolutely Awesome trip for the guys or a family and well worth the cost for a lifetime experience! Highly Highly recommended!

If you're looking for a deep-sea fishing charter that truly delivers a five-star experience, look…read moreno further than Sea Love Charters! Every time I step aboard this boat, Sea Love Charters exceeds my expectations, and today was no exception! First, I want to recognize the owner, Bill, who sets the tone for the entire operation. He personally meets you at the dock for check-in, patiently answers your questions, and is there when the boat returns to hear about your experience and make sure his crew delivered the memorable fishing trip you came for. That level of personal attention speaks volumes about how much he cares about his customers. Bill has also assembled an outstanding team that deserves recognition. Captain Sam is an absolute professional. She pilots that boat as if it were her own, with confidence, courtesy, and a genuine commitment to making sure everyone has a great day on the water. Her goal isn't just to get you on top of the fish; she works hard to help you catch them, too! From the moment you step aboard until you return to the dock, she treats you like family and goes above and beyond to make your trip a five-star experience. Today's red snapper trip was no exception! Then there's head mate Josh, and this guy deserves a special shout-out. His knowledge of fishing is second to none, and his work ethic is incredible. He's working two hours before departure and stays two hours after the boat returns. Add that to an eight-hour fishing trip, and you're looking at a 12-hour workday--all to help other people experience the excitement of catching fish! Josh works tirelessly for every customer, sharing his knowledge, offering guidance, and doing everything he can to help you land the fish of a lifetime. Sometimes, a job like that can be thankless, but I'm pretty sure today made it all worthwhile. Every person on board caught red snapper and more! The coolers were full, the smiles were everywhere, and before we even left the dock, people were already talking about their next trip. That says everything you need to know about the kind of experience this crew delivers. So, if you haven't tried Sea Love Charters yet, I strongly encourage you to book your next deep-sea fishing adventure with them. I'm confident you'll understand why I keep coming back--and why you'll want to bring a friend along next time! A huge thank-you to Bill, Captain Sam, Josh, and the entire Sea Love Charters team for another incredible day on the water. FISH ON!

Adam asked us what kind of fish we wanted to catch, and boy did he pull though on his end by putting us on the fish.

His deck hand Preston was on point with baiting hooks removing fish and helping us fight the big boys to get them in the boat.
