Wide Open Charters & Guide Service runs angling trips out of beautiful St. Augustine, without a doubt, one of the best fishing destinations in Florida for all anglers!

The captain and the experienced crew are ready to get you on some fish and to make sure you enjoy your time on the water. You’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and spinning, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 4 to 6-hour trips, you can target species like Cobia, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Sailfish, Snapper, and Barracuda, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your adventure begins on board a 27’ Edgewater boat that can fit a maximum of 4 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet and ice box. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a fruitful day on the water. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip.

You can keep anything you catch as long as it’s within the laws and regulations. Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip, and leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. This is a children-friendly charter.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Wide Open Charters & Guide Service!

Felt like family
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 3, 20253 adults
Captain Chris and his shipmate (c)Kathy were absolutely perfect. They were professional, courteous, crystal clear on instructions, and as the trip went on it honestly felt more like a family outing rather than them working for us. Will definitely be booking with them again because of this wonderful experience! We also were the first and most successful charter to catch baitfish, at least that’s what we heard over the radio! 20/10!

Even though the seas were rougher than expected, they got us on the fish right away and the action was pretty non-stop. They kept us equipped even though the sharks were hungry. We caught a bunch of beautiful large red snapper’s. Even with the rough seas, we had a great time!

I took my 16 year old son deep sea fishing for the 1st time and it was an awesome experience!! Chris and Kathy were amazing and so helpful with trying to make this a great experience for him. We caught a lot of Red fish, Bonita fish and Sandbar sharks. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
