The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early for Safety Briefing

Plan to arrive 20–30 minutes before departure for check-in, orientation, and gear setup — it keeps the boat on schedule.

Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable

Florida sun reflects off water; bring SPF 30+ sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare.

Prepare for Motion Sickness

If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before boarding and choose a central seat near the boat’s centerline.

Confirm Licensing & Paperwork

Inclusions cover tackle and bait, but verify local fishing license rules and bring government ID and any booking confirmations.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Shell Island sandbars at low tide—quiet sheltering spots and clear water for sight fishing
  • St. Andrews State Park channels—productive cuts between bay and gulf waters, good for sighting redfish

Wildlife

  • Bottlenose dolphins
  • Loggerhead sea turtles

Conservation Note

This coastline hosts important sea turtle nesting and sensitive seagrass beds; practice catch-and-release where recommended and avoid anchoring on grass beds.

St. Andrews Bay and the surrounding coastline have long supported commercial and recreational fishing; the area's community grew around maritime trades and charter businesses.
