Captain Bennett is a gentleman thru and thru. First and foremost he respects his boat, clean and rigged to the hilt; secondly he is attentive to his party, their skill level and the need to put fish in the boat. That being said, we had to cut our trip short(we had caught a bunch of fish at a bunch of different locations including a 15-17pound Bonnett Shark…)due to 25-30mph sustained winds that were NOT forecasted before we left the dock. Captain Bennett made the call..”return to the dock for safety and obviously it had become unfishable..” Having prepaid for a longer trip, Captain offered we reset for another day and apply the remaining monies, which we gladly obliged.
  In closing, I highly recommend Captain Bennett and Liberty. You will not be disappointed👍😉🇺🇸

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!

Capt. Bennett was prompt with comms leading up to the trip.  He’s experienced, professional, respectful, and well familiar with Amelia’s back waters.  We caught a good variety of fish that morning.  Highly recommend.
