St. Augustine, Florida

218 Madrid Street, St. Augustine, Florida, 32080

Join Capt. Steve Cacchio, a fourth-generation fisherman, who embarked on his maritime journey at the age of eight and never looked back!

Transitioning to college life in Florida at Flagler College, he continued his passion for fishing, casting lures for redfish and trout. Despite a 20-year teaching career in the area, his love for fishing evolved from the Avenida Menendez seawall to owning his own boat and guiding clients during breaks from the classroom.

Specializing in catching the saltwater gamefish species that Florida is most famous for, both inshore and nearshore. A particular highlight is our thriving redfish population. Depending on the season and tides, we encounter flood-tide tailing fish in the spartina grass and massive spawning fish in our inlets in the fall.

Our excursions accommodate 4 passengers and take place on a 23′ Pathfinder HPS Bay Boat with a 250 Yamaha SHO, ensuring a reliable and powerful vessel for your fishing adventure.

Will definitely be a repeat customer, this was the first charter I have done that was private and Captain Steve blew my expectations out of the water, great guy and he knows where the fish are!

We caught some keepers for the dinner table, but that wasn't the only reason I am giving a 5 star. Clean boat, Patient, answered all questions, great with my kid, and much more are other reasons why Steve is top of the line when it comes to Captains.

10/10 Recommend. Had the greatest day on the boat. Steve was very knowledgeable and patient, found us a great honey-hole of drum, where we spent most of our time catching everything that was biting!

Captain Steve is a professional with amazing communication skills. His boat is clean and his gear is top notch. Caught our limit of fish even while other guides in the area were struggling. He was also great with my kids. Next time we are in the area we will definitely book again.

Capt. Steve will be a Local Legend for years to come! You can tell he loves what he does and knows the area like the back of his hand. We have fished with him on multiple occasions, always catch plenty of fish.
