Worth every penny. Best day of fishing with friends and family you could ask for.
Jodie and the crew were helpful and courteous. Again worth every penny.

Great experience from start to finish ! Booking was easy and communication was great. The fishing trip with captain Rob was even better. He assisted us in every aspect and created a great atmosphere myself, son and father in-law. We will definitely be using Jodie Lynn again in the future.

This was our first time going offshore and let me tell you Jodie Lynn charters did NOT disappoint. We had such a great time with captain Chase and Dalton that we would recommend chartering with them! We wanted to catch Mahi-mahi and that’s exactly what we got! Thank you Jodie Lynn charters for making our Anniversary a memorable one!

We had a delightful day on the water with Captain Rob! All the boats were having a slow day - and Captain Rob was persistent in finding the fish- extending our time out by an hour! We did catch a couple of nice sheepshead along with several others.
Nice, patient and personable guy. Highly recommend him.

Had another great trip on Jodie Lynn Charters!! Highly recommend going offshore fishing with Jodie Lynn charters and there friendly crew. Thanks to Dalton and Jake for getting us on the fish. You can’t beat the air conditioned boat passenger areas and full service charters to include all tackle, bait and they even clean the fish and bag it for you.

My son was in town and wanted to fish, so we booked an inshore fishing trip with Jody Lynn Charters. Captain Robert knows the waterways well and took us straight to the fish. When bites weren’t turning into catches, he gave tips to improve our chances of landing the fish. One of the best parts was Robert’s willingness to put us on fish. If bites slowed down in one spot, he moved us to another prime location which meant we caught a nice variety of fish. His expertise, patience, and skill made for another fun and rewarding fishing trip. Jody Lynn Charters is our go-to choice whenever friends or family want to fish. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Jodie Lynn Charters! From start to finish, everything was seamless and so much fun. This trip was especially meaningful for our family—our oldest son just graduated high school, and we’re trying to soak up some unforgettable adventures together before he heads off to college. This one will stay with us forever.
Captain Robert was outstanding—knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly patient with our boys. He took the time to teach them not just about fishing, but also about the local environment and the area’s unique marine life. It wasn’t just a fun day on the water—it was a hands-on, engaging experience that sparked genuine curiosity and joy.
Our three boys (17, 14 and 8) boys had an absolute blast, and as parents, it was such a gift to watch them light up. We’re so grateful for the memories made and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend Jodie Lynn Charters—especially with Captain Robert at the helm!

We had the absolute best experience with **Jodie Lynn Charters**! Captain Rob took my California grandkids on their very first fishing trip—and what a memory it was! We caught **9 fish** and made memories that will last a lifetime. Even my daughter (who didn’t even want to go) ended up reeling in the **two biggest fish** of the day!
Captain Rob was incredibly **patient, knowledgeable, and fun**—you can tell he truly loves what he does. When we got back to the dock, we saw another family get off a fancy boat with only two small fish. I overheard their captain say, *"Well, Captain Rob is a legend."* That's when I knew we hit the jackpot.
This is a **family-owned operation**, and it shows in the care and heart they put into every trip. We had an absolute blast and are already planning our next charter. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing experience in St. Augustine, **book with Jodie Lynn Charters**you won’t regret it!

We had the best experience with Tyler and Dalton on our fishing charter! From the moment we got on the boat, they made us feel welcome and excited for the day ahead. Their knowledge of the area and where to find the fish was incredible — we were reeling them in non-stop!
Both Tyler and Dalton were professional, fun, and super helpful, whether you were a beginner or more experienced. They took the time to explain everything, gave great tips, and made sure everyone was having a great time.

We use Captain Rob every time we are in town and have the itch to catch fish. He never disappoints. Whether it’s an adults fishing trip or whether I bring my boys (10 & 6), Rob does a phenomenal job of putting us on the fish and mixing in expert advice and learning. He’s truly the best in the business.

My husband and brother had a wonderful time fishing! Captain Rob was super helpful to them:) so far this is the best experience they have had in florida. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a fishing charter!

If you’re looking for the absolute best on the water, look no further than Captain Dalton and his First Mate Jacob. These two are an angler’s dream team and the gold standard for what a fishing charter should be. I’ve been on countless charters over the years and have over a decade of experience working in the maritime industry myself. So when I say this crew is exceptional, I mean it. From the moment we stepped aboard Jodie Lynn Charters, Captain Dalton and Jacob delivered professionalism, safety, and true mastery of their craft. Their knowledge of the waters is unmatched, and their attentiveness to every guest made the entire trip smooth, exciting, and incredibly memorable. And let me say, these guys worked their butts off the entire trip. They never stopped moving, rigging, baiting, coaching, and keeping us on fish from start to finish. We were catching fish left and right, limiting out on multiple species. The highlight of the day came when Captain Dalton called out, “Drop now!” just as a huge school passed beneath us. Within seconds, everyone had a rod bent over at once. It turned into this hilarious, chaotic ballet of lines crossing, reels screaming, and all of us laughing while Captain Dalton and Jacob calmly coached us through the madness like they’d done it a thousand times. We landed every single fish. It was one of those moments you talk about for years. We always had fresh bait, new techniques to try, and more action than we ever expected. This team is like no other. I would go to sea with Captain Dalton and Jacob any day, without hesitation. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure and we’ll absolutely be requesting this crew again.
Five stars doesn’t come close to doing them justice.

As I said in my earlier review I'd be back. Another AWESOME Fishing adventure. First thanks to Captain Rob for having a perfect boat & Crew for our party of six. Captain Chase and Mate Jake busted their tails to make our trip memorable. Our hooks always seemed to have bait or fish on them.
Memorable it certainly was. Can’t wait till next time. Highly recommend Jodie Lynn Sport Fishing Charters.
I feel compelled to offer my thoughts on our recent Deep Sea Fishing trip on the Jodie Lynn on 8-5-23. The trip far and away exceeded my hopes and expectations. Captain Chase and mate Corey were simply outstanding. Caught a lot of fish which is nice but to watch the sheer delight and excitement of my family and friends while reeling in fish touched my heart. I want to sincerely thank Captain Rob for putting this great team together. I will be back. First Rate outfit!!

Booked an in-shore fishing trip for my husband. Jodie Lynn Charters was a great experience! This was a perfect surprise for Father’s Day. Booking was so easy! Location was easy to find! A trip with Captain Rob is perfect for new beginners or avid fishermen.
My husband brought back a net full of fish. They were filleted on site so we could bring them back to our vacation rental. So easy!
We will definitely book again with Captain Rob for our next vacation.
Book your charter today! You won’t regret it!
