101 Vilano Causeway
St Augustine, FL, Verenigde Staten

Spend the day with Castaway STA and get hooked on fishing in St. Augustine! Your guide for the day is Captain Joe, allowing you to benefit from over 20 years of knowledge and experience.

You’re likely to go after Redfish, Amberjack, Flounder, Black Grouper, Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Black Drum, Vermilion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, and more, depending on conditions.

On the day of your trip you’re likely to bottom fish targeting the best fishing using the appropriate gear and tackle. You may also troll depending on the current species which are in season.

You’ll step aboard a fully equipped Mako Twin Engine 24’ Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. I have a very private “Poddy” set-up on board, blocked from view, in the forward bow section of the boat for your convenience.

All of your fishing rods, reels, bait, tackle, and a cooler filled with Ice for you to store your sandwiches, drinks and snacks, are provided. All of the fishing licenses for the entire party are covered by charter captains license. The Captain will clean and pack on ice any legal catch you would like to take home.

It’s always wise to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Captain Joe will keep you updated with current weather conditions and what to expect prior to departure.

Fantastic Day!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 1, 20256 adults
Captain Joe was amazing! He took us to some fantastic spots and helped us have an unforgettable time! We caught a LOT of fish! Made my dad’s day with all the fish he caught! Including the fights with the big ones that snapped the lines! He’s still bragging about it! Got some of the most incredible pictures for our trip! It was phenomenal! Thanks Joe for a fantastic experience! Looking forward to seeing you next year!! The M&M clan!

Great family experience
3 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on May 6, 20252 adults3 children
Captain Joe is AMAZING and created a wonderful experience for my family to get their sea legs!! My husband and I took our three kiddos, ages 16,13,and 10, on their first deep sea fishing trip. All three children had a blast beginning with a fantastic ride out to our fishing spot, spotting a pod of dolphins along the way, and finally stopping over a jackpot of snapper. As soon as our lines were dropped, we had fish on. Captain Joe pivoted from one kid to the next baiting, helping and teaching. My husband had a great time as well, as this was his first trip too. I got a little sea sick, and captain joe was ready with ginger ale and water! While fishing, we saw a MASSIVE turtle. 80 years old at least! It was truly such a wonderful time and memories were made! Our youngest said “Captain Joe was the best!,” and he was right! All three kids talked about the trip and captain joe for the rest of the day. We will be back to fish with him!

Family fun with Capt. Joe.
4 Hour Trip – Inshore Morning on June 3, 20256 adults
His boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making it a great setup for a half-day trip. My son has Down’s Syndrome and Capt. Joe took the time to teach him how to cast and reel, celebrating every moment with genuine enthusiasm. My son landed his first fish. I wholeheartedly recommend Captain Joe for anyone looking for an inshore fishing adventure in St. Augustine, especially for families or those with special needs. His professionalism, local knowledge, and genuine kindness make him a standout. We’re already looking forward to booking another trip!

Great experience with the best captain
4 Hour Trip – Offshore Afternoon on August 6, 20253 adults1 child
Captain Joe went above and beyond to make sure my 2 sons, my wife and myself had a more than excellent experience on the water. Not only a great captain but also a great guy. We caught lots of fish in multiple spots and learned a lot while at sea. Anyone on the fence about doing a charter with your family don’t hesitate to book with Joe. We look forward to booking with him in the future.

Captain Joe is the way to go
3 Hour Trip – Offshore (PM) on April 14, 20254 adults
Captain Joe was so nice and accommodating as well knowledgeable. He knows exactly where the fish are and didn't waste any time on a spot that wasn't working for us. My mom was so nervous to get out there and he made her feel so comfortable and checked on her regularly through the trip. He's an ethical fisherman which is important to me and we caught so many different types of fish. If you want to have a fun and safe fishing trip while also catching a ton of fish, we would all highly recommend Captain Joe!
