Grab your crew and spend a day at sea. Maybe you’ll catch the biggest fish ever! But even if not, at least you will have a great time.
Deep Sea fishing in Jacksonville is quite a popular sport. Step 1 is booking a fishing charter. You’re on vacation so allow someone else to handle the hard parts of your adventure. Most charters come equipped with not only an adventurous day at sea, but the licenses, equipment and knowledge of the best fishing spots. Some charters even provide light snacks and beverages for your day at sea. You will likely be instructed to meet your chartered boat at one of our two ocean access marinas. Their locations provide quick access to the intracoastal waterways of Jacksonville.
During the Fall, you can find an abundance of Barracuda, Red Fish, Grouper, Bass, Mackerel, Cobia and Snapper. For all other times of the year, this fish species seasonal calendar will let you know when to catch what.

Off times in deep sea fishing you must rely on the picture to say a thousand words because if it is not the right size or season you must throw it back into the sea. Disappointing I know, but don’t fret if you really had prepared your taste buds for fresh caught seafood, there is a Safe Harbor Seafood restaurant at both marinas. They offer the age-old concept where you choose fresh seafood from the cooler and they prepare it however you would like it. The location at Morning Star Marina even has a full market where you can shop for fresh local seafood.
