Managed by Jake Durant
Deep Sea Inshore Nearshore
Captain Rick has lived in Pensacola his entire life. This makes him, as hobbyist and professional, anglers very knowledgeable and confident in knowing where fish will be and when they will be there. Captain Rick also is a retired Pensacola Deputy and served in the local police department for 25 years.
Our main focus as a business is to ensure a safe and fun trip while being sure we are wearing arms out from reeling up fish.
Captain Rick is USCG-approved and the boats are both up to par with USCG standards and laws. Our fishing experience is tailored for all ranges of skill levels, ranging from those who have never fished to those who are professional anglers.

Jake was a great Captain for our Inshore Fishing Trip. He worked really hard and was very respectful and did all he could to help us take some fish home. The conditions weren't perfect, but that's fishing. I would recommend Jake to anyone looking for a family fishing trip inshore. …
Ronald
Captain Jake was awesome!!! Put us on the fish and was extremely knowledgeable about the fish, gear and the whole charter process. I would highly recommend his service to anyone wanting to catch multiple species of fish. I would definitely go again next time we are in Pensacola Florida!!!!!! …
David
We had a great trip. My son caught his first fish and the first and biggest fish from our boat that day.
Marshall
Overall the trip was as expected. The whole party had a GREAT time. Fishing experience was frustrating for sure. Fish did not want to play and when they did the dolphins had some easy snacks. One issue we had was we were never advised where the life jackets/floatation devices were located. There were times when the captain would reposition, frustrated, and the deck was not ready for the move. The deckhand worked his butt off and his efforts were appreciated. Would definitely try this trip again. …
Ginger
Jake put us right on the fish and we caught them until we were too exhausted to reel anymore in. We will definitely fish with him next time!
Aaron
Had a blast with captain Rick and his deck hand !
Michael
If you want to catch fish go to capt Rick plain and simple. He put us on fish left and right. We came for red snapper but cap wasn't just gonna let us catch snapper. We limited out on snapper with in the first hour. Then he got us hooked up on Mingo, whitey, Mai Mahi, goggle eye. We had more fish then we know what to do with. Great charter, great captain and deck hand. …
Scott
This fishing trip was the best I have ever had! Jake’s knowledge of the area was amazing! We got our Red Snapper limit in the first 20 minutes!! I have never caught so many fish in a short amount of time. If there wasn’t a limit we could have filled his entire boat. …
Bryan
Definitely had a great experience Jake and his deck hand were very friendly and accommodating I had a party of 6. We caught a lot of fish all of my kids were super happy. I’ve been on fishing trips before where I felt like they were trying to rush you in and out. Definitely did not feel that way with these guys. 100% will use them again. …
Greg
Jake was great. He put us on fish the whole time. No dull moment and no sitting in one spot hoping for the best. Even recommended a place to take our fish to be cooked for us.
Matthew
Excellent in shore trip! Capt Jake was knowledgeable, personable, and just plain old fashioned fun. 10/10 I would run with him for all my Pensacola trips. I mean, you can’t complain to hook up on 27” and a 29” red fish!!
Pam
Jake and Logan were the best! We had a great time and caught lots of fish. They are great with kids as well as adults new to fishing. I would highly recommend these guys!
Mary
What a wonderful experience! Jake and his partner were both kind and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. We’ll book again for sure.

Chris
Rick leads a fine charter, and his deckhand Logan were instrumental in enjoying our time catching as many fish as possible.
Jeremy
Rick and Logan are awesome, would love to go out with these guys again. Despite the weather we still went out and caught fish. Could have only imagined how well the trip could have been if Mother Nature had been nicer.
Mike
Our trip with Captain Rick and his first rate deckhand Logan was fantastic. They put us on multiple fish of different types and we tried different methods, some trolling, a lot of bottom fishing and some deep water with electric reels. We caught a lot of large triggerfish, three King mackerels and enough Mingo (vermillion) snapper that we had far too much fish to eat over the next two days. The boat was fantastic, offering the six of us more than enough space to spread out and all fish at once, and Logan was knowledgeable and efficient at everything. I really enjoyed catching a small shark and we had a larger one steal some of our fish to add a little excitement. Near the end of the day we had a large amberjack up to the boat but unfortunately he got off. We played with a few barracuda as well, caught a few snapper and small groupers that we couldn't keep and in between spots, we could chat and I enjoyed learning about the local waters and the trade. I personally caught 22 fish and my son got 21 so we were busy. The weather was near perfect and Rick adeptly steered us around a small storm, where we got to see a waterspout. I would highly recommend Gulf Bay - we had a blast and really enjoyed getting to learn from a couple of true professionals. Thank you Captain Rick, thank you Logan! …
