Booked a charter with Liberty Sport Fishing out of Fernandina Beach, and it was the real deal—start to finish, best of the best.
Boat was clean, dialed in, and ready to roll the second we stepped on. We started working the tidal marshes—tight water, technical fishing—before pushing out into the main channel of the St. Mary’s River.
That’s where it all came together. Captain Bennett Harbor put us on an absolute stud black drum—fish of a lifetime.
What sets this trip apart is the way Captain Harbor runs it. He’s not just driving the boat—he’s coaching every step of the way. Clear direction, no ego, just making sure you get it done right. You can tell he knows those waters inside and out.
On top of that, the camaraderie made it even better—getting to share the experience with a fellow Marine veteran meant a lot. Add in quality time with my son, and it doesn’t get any better than that.
If you’re looking for a no-BS, top-tier charter that puts you on fish and sharpens your skills, this is it.
We’ll be back.

Our family had a great time with Captain Bennett, although the fish weren’t exactly cooperating with our plans! Our group managed to catch a handful of smaller fish, and a stingray (which was really exciting!) He was knowledgeable and so helpful!
Captain Bennett took us to different spots and we were able to see the wild horses, plenty of dolphins, and he told us a lot of information on the area!

Highlight of vacation for family of four. Captain Bennett Harbour (no better name for a fishing boat captain) runs an organized trip on a great boat, All of us caught multiple fish-and a few real beauties! Lost count of exactly how many fish we caught, Had a great time and would look nowhere else for a fishing trip on Amelia Island.

Capt. Bennett did a great job of moving quickly if there was no bite or conditions in the area change. He maximized our time carching fish, which maximized how many fish we caught. Thank you Capt.!

had a great day with Captain Bennett!  weather started choppy but he found good fishing for us even though it was a short trip!  looking forward to our next trip out with him!
