We took out a Heavy Hitter Charter from Captain Benny for my dads 70th birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better day. We caught a couple of 12 pound plus black drum and countless amount of smaller fish. Captain Benny was amazing and walked us through everything that we needed to do and know to fish those waters. We took out a 2 hour charter and would have loved to stay for even longer. I cant recommended Captain Benny enough.

We booked a 3-hour morning charter with Captain Benny of Heavy Hitters out of Amelia Island, and it was one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had! From start to finish, it was action-packed, exciting, and downright fun.

Everyone in our group caught fish—lots of them! We reeled in bonnethead sharks, Atlantic sharpnose sharks, and even landed a massive 100-pound dusky shark that gave us a real battle. That alone made the trip unforgettable! On top of the shark action, we also caught plenty of whiting, sail catfish, yellowmouth trout, and more. There was never a dull moment—lines were tight almost the entire time!

Captain Benny was outstanding—knowledgeable, upbeat, and incredibly passionate about what he does. He knew exactly where to go, kept us safe, and made sure everyone had a great time, whether it was their first fishing trip or their fiftieth. You can tell he genuinely loves putting people on fish.

If you’re anywhere near Amelia Island and looking for a fishing trip you’ll be talking about for years, Heavy Hitters with Captain Benny is the way to go. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Captain Benny provided me and three teens with a memorable experience.  None of us had any experience and Benny was helpful and patient. Kids caught a variety of fish including bonnet head shark, sea bass, whiting, toad fish, black drum, and a cow nose ray.  The trip culminated with the teens working together for 10 minutes to land a 100+ pound dusky shark which got away just as they were bringing it in. Great experience!

Captain Benny was great! We caught a ton of small fish, a small
shark, and a massive shark broke our line. ok Captain Benny cut things fun for the kids and the adults, and we learned a lot as well overall fantastic experience.

Capt. Benny was awesome! He knows the waterways like the back of his hand and knew where to put us on fish. We caught a bunch then he took us for the big one and my son reeled in an 80lb shark. No brainer to book with him next time we’re in town
