My family just spent a great day with Lyons Charters. Having had some bad experiences with other captains it was refreshing to take a charter that focused on the trip not only the fish.(and we still caught a ton of fish!!) I am sure my family will have good memories for years to come. We are certainly looking forward to our next opportunity to get out on the water with Captain Mark and would recommend his service to anyone looking for fun trip.

July 11, 2025

I surprised my dad with a light tackle inshore fishing day and it was absolutely amazing! The captain was entertaining, friendly, knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and made this trip overall a perfect fishing day! If you are looking to try inshore light tackle fishing this captain knows where to find the fish and can teach you some very valuable skills to catching the keepers! An if you have been fishing inshore with light tackle before I would recommend this charter it was very reasonable prices for excellent service, I know we will be using his services again!!

I booked this trip for my husband, son, and cousin. They had the BEST time. Mark was very knowledgeable and helpful with every aspect of the trip. They caught several fish and even a few sharks. I would definetly book another trip with Lyons Fishing Charters on our next visit to Florida. Like

We had a good day out on the water. We opted for the offshore/reef fishing because that was our highest chance of success. We had fish on the line most of the time -- many were catch and release due to size, but we had FUN and ended up with enough fish for four people to have dinner! :) Captain was very friendly and made sure we were happy!

July 11, 2025

Had a great fishing trip in the bay with Lyons Charters. Caught a couple Seatrout, a bluefish and a pufferfish! Captain Lyons was really great, showed us a lot of neat spots. Hope to go again soon!
