About Your Trip

The Gulf of Mexico has some of the best snapper and grouper fishing along the coastline of Sarasota, Florida. Aboard his 29' Regulator center console, Captain Dustin offers you the opportunity to go miles offshore and experience what it's like to haul in these hard-fighting fish. Along with snapper and grouper, you can also target amberjacks, kingfish, cobia, and occasionally some pelagic fish on the 8-hour adventures!

This was my first 60 plus miles out into the gulf of Mexico and a private charter with family and friends. More than expected for the days fish. The variety was amazing, the laughs were memorable and would highly recommend Dustin and his crew…See you soon for the next charter!
