Fishing Charters

Deep Sea Fishing

Our deep sea charter boats do their fishing in the Gulf of Mexico off Southwest Florida. Gulf waters are home to more than a hundred species of saltwater fish including grouper, snapper, shark, barracuda, kingfish, mackerel and tarpon. Click HERE for a current fishing report!

Our deep sea boats run full day trips in the Gulf, from 8am to 5pm. Each boat (we have two) can carry up to six anglers in comfort and safety. Charter rate is $800.00 per day to hire the boat privately or $160.00 (plus tax) per person on a split charter where you share the boat with other anglers. We supply everything needed for fishing including all tackle, bait, licenses and fish cleaning. You bring personal items such as hats, cameras, suntan lotion, food and drink. Please wear soft soled shoes for your safety. Advance reservations are a must.  Visiting from out of town with no way to cook your catch?  Your catch-of-the-day can be prepared for your dinner at an on-site restaurant for a nominal charge.
