About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Greg for an awesome 4 hour adventure out into the nearshore waters around Jacksonville. You can expect to do a lot of bottom fishing with live bait to target big Bull Reds, Sheepshead, Jacks, Sharks, and much more.

Captain Greg's Contender charter boat has updated electronics, VHF Radio(s), Emergency satellite communicator, USCG safety gear, seats, bean bags, a T-Top for shade, tons of rod holders, and a head (toilet) for your comfort and safety. Not to mention this boat gets you there faster with supercharged twin 300 horsepower motors strapped to the back, so there's more time to do the important things, like fish!

Captain Greg will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, live & artificial bait, ice for fish, and all the fuel. All he reccomends you bring is your suntan lotion, Non marking shoes, phone/camera for pics, your sun protection (glasses, wraps, hats, etc), and your favorite snacks and drinks.

Fishing has always been a passion for Greg and his father Big Greg, and they want to share this passion with you! Both Capt. Big Greg & Gregory are USCG Certified OUPV Captains. They love to be on the water and are set on catching fish of all kinds.

Gregory grew up fishing. He learned at a young age that big fish eat little fish, thus started his fishing passion. He graduated high school here in Jacksonville and decided that he wanted to work in the Charter business. Gregory loves deep sea fishing & offshore charters. He has worked at Marinas & on other charter boats and has been on the water several times a week since he was a young boy. He is an avid fisherman and has won or placed in numerous tournaments. He loves catching the big fish!

Big Greg has been fishing his whole life. He is a recently retired law enforcement officer and now is starting his own charter business where he and Gregory to work together. Big Greg and Gregory attended Sea School together and obtained their Captains licenses at the same time.
