Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Charley consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers catching blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, sailfish, red grouper, and mangrove snapper on regular trips. His extensive local knowledge of Stuart waters helps groups land impressive catches like 44-pound kingfish and multiple sailfish in single outings. Charley expertly adapts to weather conditions, navigating to sheltered coves during rough seas and exploring multiple spots until he locates productive schools when fish are uncooperative. Charley's patience with young anglers stands out in every review, as he takes time to teach teenagers proper techniques and helps 7-year-olds reel in their catches. Customers appreciate how he extends trips for kids to catch more fish and explains seasonal regulations while cleaning their catch. His punctuality, immaculate boat condition, and willingness to go the extra mile create memorable experiences that bring families back repeatedly.

Trip - on September 14, 2026

Booked a 4 hr inshore trip. Charley called day before advised he was having boat trouble. Instead of cancelling the trip he said he would get another Captain to provide a boat so we would not be disappointed and have to reschedule. (Sign of a true professional) Showed up at scheduled time and Charley arrived and brought his boat which was fixed and running. Went out and began fishing for bait which would determine the type of fish we would target. Bait fish were not co-operating so Charley and his first mate quickly adapted and got us onto various fish (snapper , porgy etc. ) My wife and I each caught at least 20 fish each, not all keepers of course but a great fast paced time. Charleys first mate (a boat captain also) was patient in teaching us how to properly fish here in the ocean as we are from N Georgia where a big fish is a 12 in trout. Once technique was mastered, fish kept coming. We were harassed by several Barracuda, which on several occasions ate our catch before we could get it in the boat. Answer to that was catch the Barracuda which I did. I got a beautiful but scary Barracuda which was about 4 ft long. Great memories great day, can't say enough about this Charter for experienced fisherman or novice. Will book again looking forward to a extended offshore trip this Spring

My wife booked this capt. Charley for my 41st birthday. Took the whole family out (9/13 yo girls) and we had a blast. Told him our goal was to catch as much food as possible and we are heading home with over 20# of meat. Incredible experience for everyone - will absolutely be back!

Trip - 3/4 Day Inshore on March 2, 2026

Wonderful trip, and captain Charley was even better. Fished for 2 days and the first day we marked loads of fish and capt put us in the spots, but the fish were just not hungry. Radio chatter said the same thing too. Second day was phenomenal with the inshore trip. Beautiful day and captain put us on the fish running through 12 dozen shrimp in 2 hours. We struggled to get the hang of the fishing but eventually got the hang of it landing 10 sheepshead and catching some beautiful fish. When we ran out of shrimp we used some live bait to catch snook and landed a huge 36 inch snook being our first ever snook. In the end Captain Charley was absolutely the best and incredibly knowledgeable. When you go on his boat definitely listen to captain and you'll get yourself some good quality fish.
