Sport Fishing in Butler Beach, FL
The closest beach town to our dock. Leave the rental, drive a few minutes up A1A, and be headed offshore not long after sunrise.
Next Door to the Dock
Butler Beach Sport Fishing, Minutes from the Boat
Sport fishing in Butler Beach, FL is about as easy as it gets. You're a few minutes south of our St. Augustine dock on A1A, so you can sleep later than anyone driving in from Jacksonville. Capt. Bill runs your Butler Beach fishing charter from there.
Most of our Butler Beach guests fall into two camps. Locals who have fished the surf for years and want deeper water, and families in a beach rental for the week. Both want a real offshore day off Butler Beach without a long haul to the boat.
If you've been searching for sport fishing near me from a Butler Beach rental, start with trip length. Four hours suits kids and first-timers. Eight or ten gets you to the bigger fish. Rates for every trip length are posted online.
Call (904) 501-7374 and tell us which week you're on the island. We'll find you a boat and a departure time.

Party Charters Deep Sea Fishing
Deep Sea Fishing Charters in Butler Beach, FL
From Butler Beach the Atlantic is right over the dunes, but the fish worth chasing sit miles out. We leave through the St. Augustine Inlet and point the bow at the reefs where bottom fish hold.
On deep sea trips for Butler Beach anglers, we drop baits for Grouper, Snapper, Triggerfish and Amberjack, then troll on the way back if the Mahi are around. Red Snapper opens for a short federal season, usually in summer, so ask about dates if that's your target.
What Butler Beach Anglers Get on Board
- Gear Ready: Rods, reels, tackle and bait are rigged before you step aboard.
- Crew Help: The mate unhooks, re-baits and coaches anyone new to a heavy reel.
- Cleaned Catch: We fillet your fish at the dock so it goes straight into the rental fridge.
Packing List for a Butler Beach Deep Sea Day
- Hat & Sunscreen: There's no shade offshore at noon.
- Light Jacket: The early run out feels cooler than the beach does.
- Grippy Shoes: Decks get slick once fish come over the rail.
- Seasick Remedy: Take it ahead of time, not once you feel off.
- Food & Drinks: Pack lunch for everyone. Beer is welcome aboard.
- Phone in a Dry Bag: Kept away from spray until the fish photo.
