Can I go deep sea fishing in Jacksonville?

Of course you can go deep sea fishing in Jacksonville. There are more than a few companies running charters that will make you feel like you’ve jumped into the pages of Hemingway’s The Old Man the Sea. Whether you spend a few hours trolling for dorado or the entire day on the hunt for 10-foot sailfish, it’s hard not to relax while bobbing amongst open ocean swells.

Make a reservation with Majesty Deep Sea Fishing and hop aboard their flagship, The Majesty. You’ll cruise the north Florida coast in search of red snapper with colors brighter than a fire engine, barracudas with stripes like a tiger, and swordfish with flat bills the size of Japanese katanas.

There’s also the option of setting sail with Team Buck Rogers Jacksonville Fishing Charters. Captain Chad Starling will guide you along the coast to many underwater, natural ledges and artificial wrecks of tug boats and airplanes. Once the day is done, the experienced crew will fillet your catch of the day so you’ll be able to enjoy it later at one of our Jacksonville, FL beachfront hotels.
