FISHING TRIPS AND CHARTERS
The surrounding waters on Amelia Island offer a variety of saltwater fishing opportunities together with sailing charters, day cruises, and sightseeing tours. Fish Amelia Island's inlets on a four-passenger charter and test your luck against tarpon, shark and redfish. Six-passenger trolling charters are also available, giving anglers the opportunity for striking game fish such as kingfish, cobia, barracuda, amberjack and bonito on several manmade and natural reefs offshore. Drift fishing these reefs also produces black sea bass, snapper and grouper.
For more information on fishing trips and charters off-property, please call Amelia Angler Outfitters at (904) 261-2870.
