Crawfish Charters is a renowned fishing company located in the picturesque Amelia Island, Florida. The company is led by the experienced and talented Captain Kenny Crawford, who has been in the fishing industry for over 31 years. Captain Kenny began his career as a commercial fisherman in 1977, where he specialized in catching redfish and king mackerel. His passion for fishing led him to participate in tournament fishing for king mackerel, where he came in 2nd place in the inaugural Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament in 1981.
Captain Kenny's success continued when he began fishing in the SKA Professional circuit in 2001. Since then, he has won an impressive 16 sanctioned tournaments and was crowned the 2021 National Champion, a testament to his skills and expertise in the field.
Crawfish Charters provides two distinct Florida fishing trips for guests to choose from. The Jetty/Sound fishing trip takes guests to St. Mary's jetties or the St. Mary's River, providing a relaxed and comfortable fishing experience for novice anglers or families with children.

Both boats come with fishing gear and tackle, and clients can customize their fishing trip to target specific species. The team at Crawfish Charters focuses on using the best techniques and equipment to ensure a successful fishing trip for their clients.

Amelia Island Fishing Report
Today, we had a great time fishing in Amelia Island! The weather was perfect, with calm seas and just the right amount of sunshine to keep us warm but not too hot. We headed out to our favorite Florida fishing spot, and before long we were reeling in some big Little Tunny. We used a mix of live bait and lures to entice the fish, and they were biting like crazy. Overall, it was a fantastic day out on the water with some great fishing action. If you're looking to catch some Little Tunny, Amelia Island is definitely the place to be, and Crawfish Charters is the company to take you there. Come on out and join us for some unforgettable Amelia Island fishing!

We were looking for a charter that would go the extra mile so we could bring home some groceries and tug on some beasts from the deep and we did exactly that with Capn Kenny. He has the perfect vessel for it as well. Smooth ride in 2 - 4 ft chop. This capn has been in the newspaper quite a bit for winning tournaments so obviously his knowledge of the area, seasons, and conditions are accurate and you can trust his judgement. Him and his mate were very personable and we had a great trip. Cant wait to go again.

First and foremost, Kenny and Kent are fantastic gentlemen that are a lot of fun to fish with! They still enjoy fishing and will sometimes go fishing without a charter. They grew raised on the island and have been fishing on Fernandina Beach for 40 years. They have a wealth of information. After the first two sites failed to produce edible fish, they moved on to another, and sure enough, we began catching Reds in the slot that we could keep. We also caught as many Red Snappers as we could and a slew of other fish around the sinking barge. Crawfish Charters comes highly recommended by me!

Wonderful journey. Crew with prior experience. I can hardly wait to do it again.

Captain Kenny was the best. Put us on and kept us on fish from start to finish. Most of us had to take a break to let our arms recover. Once we got tired of bottom fishing he put us on a tremendous king bite. We plan to make it an annual trip. 5 stars!!!!!
