Sea Love Charter

Sea Love Charter

Offering public and private fishing charters since 1980, Sea Love Charter now operates two boats: Sea Love II, which accommodates up to 61 passengers, and Sea Love III, with a capacity of 30 passengers. Both boats are United States Coast Guard inspected and operate in intracoastal and offshore waters. Sea Love Charter offers public and private fishing charters, intracoastal and offshore non-fishing cruises, and special events cruises for Nights of Lights and the Fourth of July. 

All trips depart from Cat's Paw Marina off Nix Boat Yard Road.

Types of Charters

Fishing Charters

Party Sea Love Charter specializes in offshore fishing and Gulf Stream trolling. Fish for snapper, grouper, amberjack, wahoo, billfish, cobia, and more. 

• Take a public six-or eight-hour fishing charter on a "party boat." Bring a cooler with your own food and drink, and they'll provide the federal fishing license, rods, reel, tackle, and bait. The trips are available year-round and are suitable for fishermen and women ages 6+.
• Have a group that loves to fish? Private fishing charters are available, lasting from four to 12 hours, and for 30 to 61 guests (depending on the boat).

Coastal and Offshore Cruising

Sea Love Charter is one of the few charter companies that regularly offer offshore sightseeing cruises. They also offer sightseeing river cruises aboard Sea Love II. 

• On most Saturdays at 1:00 p.m., they offer a 2.5-hour offshore cruise, starting with a trip down the San Sebastian River to the Matanzas, and a pass along the Ancient City's bayfront. From there, the boat cruises out of the inlet into the Atlantic Ocean and along the beaches to the St. Johns County Pier.
• On select days, the Sea Love II offers a three-hour historic cruise past both iconic forts: Fort Matanzas and the Castillo de San Marcos. The boat first heads south to Fort Matanzas to take in that iconic coastal structure, and then moves back up the river to view the City of St. Augustine and the Castillo at sunset.
• Happy Hour Sunset Cruises on select days. This two-hour, adults-only cruise takes in the bayfront, Vilano Bridge, and the inlet. Purchase drinks from Captain Bill's onboard Livewell Sports Bar and enjoy a live music performance by a local musician.
• A two-hour coastal sunset cruise for adults, with a trip out of the inlet and south to the St. Johns County Pier.

Amenities on Board
