Want more time on the water without the crowd? Our 6-hour semi-private fishing charters offer a fantastic balance of comfort, value, and serious fishing. With limited group sizes and more room to fish, these trips are perfect for anglers who want a higher-quality experience without going full private.
You’ll head offshore into the productive waters of the Gulf of America, where our experienced crew will guide you to prime fishing spots known for snapper, triggerfish, and other popular reef species. With more fishing time than a short public trip, you’ll have the opportunity to move between locations and land a variety of catches.
We also offer 8-hour and 10-hour deep sea charters for those who want to go farther and fish longer.
Whether you're fishing with a small group, planning a memorable outing, or simply looking for a deeper offshore adventure, our semi-private trips deliver a relaxed, rewarding day at sea with room to breathe and fish at your own pace.

Our fishing charters primarily focus on bottom fishing. Our most popular fish are Red Snapper and Vermillion Snapper of course, but we also catch a variety of other reef fish such as Trigger Fish, Amberjack, Tomtate, Lane Snapper and more! Occasionally we get a Cobia, Mackerel and shark. Check out our 'What We Catch' link at the bottom of the page to get a description of each fish we catch on the water!
If you are prone to motion sickness, we suggest that you take either ginger tablets or Dramamine. It helps if you take some the night before and then first thing in the morning when you wake up with oatmeal for breakfast. Make sure you eat something for breakfast as well so that your stomach is settled before you go out!
All of our vessels are equipped with clean marine restrooms as well as an indoor air-conditioned cabins.
We are the cheapest 4-hour fishing trip in town, so everyone is the same rate. Our mates are on board to help your child if they need it, and the kids are also welcome to help the captain drive the boat back in to port. We try to keep our rates as low as possible for everyone.
You will still need to pay the same price since because we do have limited space on our vessels. We do encourage you to ride along to take pictures of your family while they real in the big catch!
As long as it meets regulations and is in season, you will get to keep what you catch if you want. The mates on board will be able to let you know once you reel your fish in. At the end of the trip you can have your fish cleaned by our deckhands (for tips) or take them home. We do not split catches or share, you keep YOUR FISH.
Our 4hr Charters travel 8-12 miles offshore in the Gulf so we can bottom fish.
The 6hr Charters go out 8-25 miles for our trips.
Inshore fishing is bay fishing. Primarily they fish for speckled trout, red fish, catfish, and flounder. Offshore fishing takes you 8-25 miles offshore into the Gulf and bottom fish at a reef. Primarily the fish are snapper, grouper, and trigger.
At the end of the trip our deckhands do fish cleaning for tips! The mates will filet the fish for you and put them in a plastic bag for you to easily carry it away.
Most people use the cooler they bring for drinks during the trip. By the end of the trip, the cooler is empty, and the fish fit great in there!
