About Your Trip

Head offshore for a day of Gulf fishing with a crew that handles the details so you can focus on fishing. Quality Penn and Shimano saltwater tackle is provided, and the first mate will take care of the rigging throughout the trip. Whether you're brand new to offshore fishing or have done it for years, you'll get a quick rundown of the equipment and techniques before lines go in the water.

One of the things that makes these trips unique is the variety of species that may be available depending on the season, regulations, and conditions. Common targets include Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Vermilion Snapper, White Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Scamp, Cobia, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and Shark.

The crew adjusts the day's approach based on what's in season and where the best opportunities are, whether that means fishing reefs and structure for bottom species or targeting pelagic fish farther offshore.

These trips are also operated with a strong focus on responsible fishing practices. The crew follows all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including size limits, bag limits, and seasonal closures. Protecting the fishery and the marine environment is an important part of how they operate, helping ensure these waters remain productive for future generations of anglers.

Whether you're looking to bring home some fresh fish, learn more about offshore fishing, or simply spend a day on the water, this trip offers the chance to experience the Gulf's diverse fishery with an experienced crew and well-maintained equipment.

I’ve been fishing since 1996 in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. Started off as a deckhand on a charter boat and worked my way onto a private yacht that traveled in pursuit of blue marlin! Did that for 7 years and decided it was time to settle down and start a family. Got back into charter fishing as a captain and ended up buying out a captain/ business that I...

Booked the 4 hour trip with Wayne & Corey. It was our first time going deep sea fishing. We did not know what to expect. 3 adults and 4 children (ages 9-15).
We had such a great time. Corey, who helped with casting, baiting, reeling, etc was so informative and helpful. He also kept the boat so very clean.
My family felt safe with Wayne’s driving and his knowledge of the sea.
We would most...

We had the BEST time fishing with Captain Wayne and deck hand/first mate Corey. We caught tons of fish and had the most peaceful boat ride! Corey and Wayne were both the BOMB! Corey was so knowledgeable about the types of fish and was so quick to help and answer questions! Captain Wayne took us the some great fishing holes and made sure that we were safe! The worst part of the trip was when...
