What's Included on a 26ft Sea Fox Charter

The 26ft Sea Fox provides a stable platform, a clean deck, shade, and easy access to the fighting chair, so you stay comfortable while you fight the bite. This setup is designed for efficiency, letting you switch from trolling to casting without missing a beat.

Gear you can rely on: on-board tackle, rods, reels, lures, and bait are stocked for multiple species, including bass in estuaries and seasonal pelagic opportunities when you push offshore.

Licences and safety: all required fishing licences are provided, along with PFDs, a first-aid kit, and a modern VHF radio for clear communication. Ages 6 and up are welcome, and the crew tailors the pace to younger anglers as needed.

Comfort and basics: bottled water, ice, and light snacks keep energy up; sunscreen and hats protect you on sunny days, and a clean, shaded area helps everyone stay cool during peak sun hours.

Safety Protocols on Board: Veteran-Owned Approach

Begin with a five-minute, dockside safety briefing that covers life jackets, harnesses, signalling devices, and the plan if weather shifts. These steps set the tone for every trip and reflect our veteran-owned approach that prioritises crew and guest safety on day one.

We require every guest to wear a USCG-approved life jacket while on deck, and we provide sizes for adults and kids. Brad and the onboard crew verify fit and remind guests to keep jackets accessible when moving between the cockpit, deck, and console. Our deck is outfitted with quick-access storage so guests can reach their gear without stepping into crowded zones. An abundance of life jackets line the racks by size to speed checks, and these steps help when some guests come aboard for the first time.

Our boats are outfitted with reliable safety gear: VHF radio, backup battery, EPIRB, fire extinguisher, first-aid kit, and throw-able flotation devices. We conduct monthly checks and document a year-based maintenance log to ensure everything is within service window. A simple checklist helps each mate confirm gear is in place before casting off. To keep everyone aligned, these checks occur before every trip and during sea trials when needed.

• Life jackets: store by size, inspect for wear and tear, and replace if frayed; guests try them on for size upon arrival.
• Fire safety: confirm extinguishers are charged; test horn and bilge pumps; keep extinguishers visible and labelled.
• Communication: verify VHF channel, GPS coordinates, and emergency numbers; test DSC call before leaving harbour.
• Weather and conditions: review forecast, adjust plan if wind exceeds 20 knots or seas rise beyond two feet; move to sheltered cove if needed.
• Deck operations: designate a line of travel; keep hands clear of lines when moving; secure loose gear and bait containers.

When handling tackle and bait, we maintain an organised array of tackle, reels, and rods on the gunwale and in the racks. Our anglers and visiting friends can select from a clean, labelled setup: from jigging reels for billfish trips to trolling reels for reds. We keep bait in sanitary coolboxes and rotate stock to ensure freshness, with some days featuring fresh cut bait and others live bait, according to weather and permit constraints. Guests asked questions during setup get direct, concise answers to help choose the right gear for the day.

For guest safety around wildlife and lines, we instruct: never reach over the rail while a fish is on, keep hands away from the winch and propeller, and minimise sudden movements on the deck. We practise a calm, deliberate approach so you can savour the moment and enjoy the extraordinary experience without distraction. When you sail with us, you engage a system that treats every trip as a lesson in maritime safety and guest comfort.

After each trip, we review the safety data: what worked, what could improve, and any equipment needs. Source training materials from veteran crews inform our protocol, ensuring consistency across trips, whether visiting for billfish or reds, and offering an exceptional standard maintained year after year.

To book a charter, visit our site or speak with Brad at the dock; we tailor every outing to fit the season, target species, and skill level, ensuring a smooth, safe, and enjoyable experience for all.

Itinerary Options: Half-Day, Full-Day, and Custom Trips

For most guests, a half-day charter offers the best balance of action and convenience. From the marina, Captain Jeremiah leads you to productive spots near the south end of the harbour where bass, flounder, sheepshead, and grouper are common catches, with occasional tarpon or king mackerel when conditions cooperate. These short trips pair well with island holidays and let you savour the charm of Amelia Island before heading back to your day.

Half-day trips run about four hours, with departures from the marina in the morning or late afternoon. The boat is equipped with tackle, reels, rods, and safety gear; the crew handles the lines while you relax and enjoy the scenery. Some guests arrive with little fishing experience and quickly pick up the basics. Choosing a morning slot often gives calmer seas and better light for photos.

Full-day charters extend roughly eight hours, offering you time to stretch along several productive zones. You’ll target a mix of species such as tarpon, king mackerel, grouper, sheepshead, and flounder, with a short lunch break on board. These trips maximise time on the water and adapt to the weather, letting you switch from nearshore to deeper water as conditions allow.

Custom trips tailor duration, target species, and pace to your group. If wildlife is your focus, we can add a back-bay cruise for birds and dolphins, or design a coastal trolling plan that hits multiple reefs. Whether you want to chase bass or chase a big tarpon, you can choose these options and we’ll adapt the tackle and rigs accordingly. To plan, contact the marina staff and jeremiah to review sample schedules and book the date. Our offering includes guidance from a seasoned crew, light tackle options, and water on board, so you can savour every moment of your trip year round.

What to bring: Sun cream, hat, polarised sunglasses, a light jacket, water bottle, snacks, and any travel-sickness remedies you prefer. The boats are kitted out for comfort, so bring your own rod and tackle if you have favourites; otherwise, Keith’s team provides gear on request. For younger travellers, pack small toys or games and keep things stored for an easy back, and wear non-slip shoes and lightweight layers to handle Florida winds and the occasional spray while you go after reds or billfish on bountiful waters.
