Enjoy an incredible day of fishing in St. Augustine, Florida!

At Florida Republic Charters, we provide different charters perfect for anglers of all ages and skill levels. We make sure your experience is safe and eco-friendly. We stress the significance of clean waters and taking care of wildlife during our trips, whether you’re enjoying the scenery or aiming to catch a big fish.

On our charters, you’ll be targeting Redfish, Flounder, and Trout, with some unexpected catches along the way!

You’ll be fishing on a Sportsman Masters 227 Bay boat, which can hold up to 4 guests. The boat has a wireless trolling motor, an icebox, live wells, freshwater wash-down, and even a Tarpon and Cobia tower.

If your group is larger than 4 or you’re planning a corporate event, don’t worry! We collaborate with other guides in the area for buddy boat charters. Depending on your group’s size, we’ll split you between multiple boats.

Captain AJ will handle all the fishing gear like tackle, rods, reels, and bait. Just bring along any drinks and snacks you want, as well as the right sun protection.
