A buddy of mine just got back from south fl. He was visiting his folks and out fishing with his dad when he noticed that the
price of a saltwater boat fishing licenes was, he said in the hundreds of dollars. Not exactly sure he said but he told me
that he thought it was around 4 to 5 hundred bucks, said he has the paper work at home [here in virginia] and would show it to me later. I can't believe it, here we pay 38 bucks a year and fish-
ermen are screaming about that. I believe if that is the case
you fellows need to string JEB BUSH up buy his ball$.

Your friend is somewhat correct.
The license he is speaking of in Florida is a commercial/for hire license (Charter boats, light tackle guides, flats guides etc).

A $200 license covers 4 anglers plus the captain or
A $400 license covers 6 anglers plus the captain and mate.

There is no license available that covers all the anglers on the boat for the recreational angler like in MD, VA and other states.

Recreational licenses are $14.00 for residents and 32.00 for non-residents for saltwater.
