Ive gone on 7 all day trips with sea love so far. They treat you like your family and really work hard to put you on the fish. I have tried other charters and they are by far the best bet for a good time. I will be going again soon. read more

This was the best time ever! The deckhands(Millard and Luke) were awesome, helpful and knowledgeable and funny! We went out for a half day and I couldn't think of a thing I would have changed. I caught the smallest fish ever(plus more bigger ones) and everyone on board seemed to have a great time. Some caught really nice fish and even a small shark and one sea urchin(no, we're not sure how!). The prices are way way lower than most boats I checked out so I worried maybe it wouldn't be as good of a trip, but I can't think of a single way to improve the service or the experience of going out fishing with the Sea Love crew! read more

A GREAT BOAT RIDE AS LONG AS YOU DON'T WANT TO CATCH FISH. We spent $155 for two of us for the all day fishing trip and got 3 fish. That wasn't unexpected since the captain spent most of every stop fishing off the back at one of the prime spots himself. We were only given squid for bait instead of sardines and surprisingly there weren't a lot of fish caught.....I wonder why??? I fish on deep sea boats often and ALWAYS they use the best bait so you catch the most fish.....not on the Sea Love III.....squid only! I think the captain should do what he does best CAPTAIN the boat not compete with his customers and don't skimp on the bait! For $80 per head you expect good fishing! read more

This is the worst boat I have ever been on if I could give no stars I would. My family and I Went out a few days ago and had such a bad experience, it is a rip off. We did the 8 hr fishing which is really like 3 hours of actual fishing if that. We stopped fishing at 1:15 in the afternoon when it said until 4. Now I understand that part is for driving but come on!! And instead of being on the boat advertised we went on there smaller boat, which was so small and narrow our legs didn't even fit while we were sitting. Plus they have no pole holders. We used the frozen boxed squid not even cut up, so it was soggy and disgusting. No sardines, and no options to buy live bait such as pin fish either. The captain was great, however the rest of the crew spent the day fishing themselves. On top of that the equipment was HORRIBLE!!! My sisters reel literally fell off the poll while she was fishing, twice. The hooks are rusty as all hell along with the pole itself. When we lost a good bite they told us that we needed a better pole and changed it out to another rusty broken pole. Then they didn't clean up the bait buckets until over an hour of us heading in so they were spilling and throwing disgusting squid everywhere. One of the buckets went all over my sisters nice tennis shoes dropping squid sitting out all day and the liquid all over her. I would NEVER go back on this. Oh and when we were catching fish the captain would move constantly and take us to areas with no bites. So weird. Then the mates came around while we were still riding in asking for tips telling my family and I $40 a person is the average!! Are you joking me?! There are a ton of better boats than this one. So disappointed. read more

We went on the full day trip and had a blast catching fish left and right the entire time. If you haven't gone then you are missing out!!

It's not everyday that you catch a 50 inch Barracuda!! What a fabulous day today. Thank you to the crew at Sea Love Charters.....they are amazing and went above and beyond our expectations to insure that everyone onboard had a great fishing experience this morning. There were approximately 60 of us onboard and you would never have known it. There was a birthday party for a young boy and also a 19 yo and the crew went out of their way to make sure that they had an outstanding experience. They didn't stop there.....they made sure the rest of us did too. My daughter who was in from out of town was not too sure of the whole thing until she had to reel in a 50" Barracuda. She LOVED it!! Do not hesitate to go out for a 4 hour trip; it will be one of the best days you can spend with family and friends!! read more

My daughter and I have been trying 3 years to go fishing on a charter in Jacksonville while she visits for Thanksgiving. The weather has always made them cancel the trip. This year we tried the Sea love III and it was a huge success. The crew were very professional and followed fishing regulations to the T. We caught enough fish to wear us out by the end of the day. Mostly Red Snapper ( all thrown back because of the laws, not the size) and Vermillion Snapper. The boat was clean but they do need to work on the head. It is in bad shape and could use some work. The boat though, is clean and seemed to operate without problems. The captain knows where the fish are. It is a long ride out (2 Hours) and the same coming back on our 8 hour trip. The crew are very helpful and always right there to take fish off the hook and get them on ice. At the end they clean and fillet all the fish. Bring what you want to eat or drink. There is nothing onboard. I would have made this review an enthusiastic 5 stars if the head was fixed up. read more

I paid for my son, his friends, and my sons father to have a boys day out and they just got back catching nothing! I orginally booked for the boat that held 25 and then they were loaded onto the 60 person boat. Almost everyone on their boat caught nothing! The poles sucked and are more broken then anything else. The deck hands are just more interested in getting tips then doing their job. I've been on charters before and always caught fish to bring back home. This place is a total rip off and lies about the boat you'll be on. If I could give it 0 stars I would. We're also locals and this was so disappointing! Not recomending this charter to anyone. Stay away! read more

I haven't been on this charter sense they moved to their new location until yesterday. I have always had pretty good luck with them, however yesterday's trip was horrible. Out of the 30 plus people on the boat 9 fish was caught that could be kept. They didn't seem to try and put us on fish that was actually in season, I have never been out where we didn't catch an abundance of sea bass or other similar fish. The people who came with me was also disappointed, we spent a total of $480.00 on the trip and had one fish weighing about 1 pound that we didn't bring home because it wasn't worth it. Then the crew had the audacity to send around a bucket asking for tips. I will never do another Charter with Sea Love. I would suggest to anyone one else wanting to go deep sea fishing use a different charter this one is worthless. The captain and the crew just didn't do their jobs and try to put us on fish it's just sad. read more

Only giving one star as the crew as at least nice. WORST trip ever. MONEY GRAB! Went on 6/19/2018. Captain didn't know anything. This is what happens to a business when the person that built it up turns it over to just other people instead of doing the work himself. $80 a head, we have 8 people and Caught , ZERO keepers. Nothing for our money. The whole boat didn't catch anything. 30 people on board, 3 barracudas, and 3 small snappers, 12 to 14 inches. No grouper, no sea bass, nothing. Had one bite all day and caught a bait fish. The Captain's job is to put you on the fish and he was clueless. Took him 3 tries to get the boat pointed into the current at stop one, and twice at stop number 2. Just following GPS to certain spots where other boats were already at. Nothing new, didn't know what to do when the spots were not working. Heard others at the end of the trip saying, "do i get a third day free as I have caught nothing in back to back trips. We tipped nothing, and we normally do, but with a clueless Captain, and baiting my on hooks, and several other people all day, not to mention taking off my own fish, why tip them for doing it?to top it off the Captain came around asking for tips for the crew and didn't even say anything like sorry for a bad day fishing. I will not be back for sure, waste of time and money, we would have caught more fish from the dock. I will tell everyone I know not to waste the effort, or their money on Sea Love Charters! If I owned this place, I would get back in that boat, otherwise you are going to have as many customers as our group of 8 caught keepers, ZERO! read more

The Sea Love crew was exceptional in helping my daughter and I have a very memorable trip. It was her first trip on the ocean and they helped her catch a very large red snapper which unfortunately we had to release, but we will be getting it mounted. We also kept busy catching many other species of fish. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone. read more

My family comes down to St. Augustine every year and we always get a day of fishing in with SeaLove Charters. Not only do we have a great time, the crew is friendly and helpful and we catch fish! We have tried other charter companies before in our travels, but have never experienced what we get with SeaLove Charters. The crew is knowledgeable and patient with our needs. Seth and Luke are a great team and they make everyone on board feel comfortable and make sure that everyone has a great time! read more

I wish to thank you for the worst fishing trip I have ever had thereby confirming my desire to never go on another of your boats. The deckhand provided us with bait and after he saw me using our drinking water to try to get some of the stinking mess off of my hands brought us a small pail of water that should of been with the bait. The first rod he brought had no sinker and te replacement ros had a reel that I had to play with to get to freewheel to let out the line. The levelers were removed and we had to keep moving the line as we reeled in line.I keep saying we because there were 3 of us in the party. Between us we caught 6 fish all under 7 inches long. I saw noone on this boat catch anything worth keeping and as i was a halfday fish we stayed on one place but they did keep repositioning the boat. We rarely saw the deck crew except for moving ther boat. Oh yes at one point the deckhand did hook a Barracuda and let a young boy bring it in and I thought that was nice. On the return trip the deckhand washed down the inside of the boat and in my opinion we were in his way . Ithink there were less than 15 payig clients on the boat and I hope the others got better service than we did. In thinking about it all I'm sorry That I put in a tip for my grandson and myself.In all thre trip cost me $240.00 and a wasted half day in St Augustine. read more

What a wonderful day of fishing. We went out about an hour or so before we got to the fishing spot. We were catching a lot of fish but very few keepers. It was not their fault, the state changed laws about what can be kept. We moved a couple times to find good fish to keep. Some people left with a bunch of fish. I only got a few, but that is why it is called fishing not catching. The crew was very attentive and helped with anything I needed. I brought a cooler of beer and food and had a great day. I am glad I took the full day that was offered and not the half day. I don't know if the boat would have been as successful with only 4 hours. The deck hands even cleaned our fish when we got back. One of the crew caught a huge fish and they divided it up and let anyone who wanted to take some home. I will definitely do this again. And would recommend it to everyone. The only thing I would do differently is get a spot at the back of the boat, they seemed to catch more fish. I was later told that was because the stern is where the fish finder is, and that is where they put the boat on top of the fish. We also saw a huge stingray jump all the way out of the water, and a bunch of dolphins. read more
