About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Joshua for an amazing day filled with activities! Choctawhatchee Bay is the do-it-all spot for fishing, snorkeling, dolphin watching and more. You can even venture over to Crab Island, a beautiful turquoise shallow water flat where you can wade around and socialize with other boats!

On this 3 to 5-hour trip, Captain Joshua will bring you out into the Choctawhatchee Bay where you can wander around with snorkeling equipment and fishing poles ready to go. All you'll need is classic light tackle to target some Black Drum, Bluefish, Flounder, Red Snapper, Redfish, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, and Tarpon. Growing up on the Choctawhatchee Bay, Captain Joshua is sure to get you some bites!

Captain Joshua runs a 22’ Century center console with a capacity for 4 people. Equipped with a 225 HP Yamaha engine, it'll take you between fishing and snorkeling spots with no problem! This do-it-all vessel is complete with GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, a Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Captain Joshua will also clean your catches for you free of charge.

Captain Joshua will provide all rods, reels, tackle, live bait and snorkeling equipment. You're recommended to bring a swimsuit, sunglasses, sunscreen, and any food and drinks you might want out on the water. These sunny trips can host up to 4 people, so make sure to bring some good company!

My som (age 10) and I went out this morning on a 4-hour charter, and we had a fantastic time! Super clean boat with plenty of room, and he knew all the best spots for redfish and trout. Captain Josh was great with my son, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.
