Captain Pete was a Blast!
Booked a trip with Captain Peter T on Rodman and had a great trip. Boated a 7lb 12oz and 5lb 8oz bass fishing during the day of fishing. Not easy for me, but Peter made it easy! The trip was great and I would come back next week if I could!

St. Augustine offshore fishing questions
How much does an offshore fishing charter in St. Augustine cost?
Deep sea trips start at $750 for 4 hours, $1,300 for 6 hours and $1,600 for 8 hours. Near shore trips start at $800 for 4 hours. The booking calendar shows the exact price for your date and group.
What’s the difference between deep sea and near shore?
Near shore trips stay close to the coast, which means a shorter boat ride. Deep sea trips run farther out onto the Atlantic for fish like mahi-mahi and snapper.
What can I catch offshore in St. Augustine?
Kingfish and cobia close to the coast, and red snapper (in season) and mahi-mahi farther out.
Where do St. Augustine offshore trips go?
Out the St. Augustine Inlet onto the Atlantic. Your captain confirms the meeting spot and start time with you before the trip.
Do I need a fishing license?
No. The captain’s saltwater license covers everyone fishing on the trip.
What’s included in the price?
The licensed captain, boat and fuel, your saltwater fishing license, rods, reels, tackle and bait. Not included: the captain’s tip (10–20% is customary) and food and drinks.
Is offshore fishing good for kids and first-timers?
Offshore trips run on the open ocean, so they suit anglers who are comfortable on a boat in some swell. For young kids or first-timers, an inshore trip in protected water is often a better fit.
Can we keep the fish we catch?
Size and bag limits apply to many species, and some are catch and release. Your captain can tell you what you can keep on the day.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the captain or guide cancels for weather, you get a full refund or a free reschedule.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel for free up to 72 hours before your trip.
