Explore Amelia Island’s backwaters on a private fishing charter, with a local captain, fishing gear, and chances to target coastal species.

About this tour

Explore Amelia Island’s coastal waters on a private inshore fishing charter through the Amelia River and surrounding backwaters. Tidal creeks, marsh-lined shores, and productive fishing grounds make this a scenic way to experience Northeast Florida from the water.

Your licensed local captain provides the boat, fishing and safety equipment, and fishing licenses, then adapts the outing to the tides, weather, and current fish activity. Depending on the season and conditions, you may target redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, tarpon, cobia, and other coastal species. Redfish are a local favorite, while the range of fish offers opportunities for anglers with different experience levels.

With a private trip, you can enjoy personalized guidance as you cast among the island’s backwaters and take in the surrounding coastal scenery. Bottled water is provided; food and drinks are not included. Meet your captain at the boat ramp docking area. Book your Amelia Island inshore fishing charter for a relaxed day on the water and a closer look at the area’s diverse fishery.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Jacksonville
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
