About Your Trip

Experience the thrill of the open water on a Florida offshore fishing charter or inland fishing trip off the Perdido Key, Florida coast with Captain Doug and his team. Captain Doug and his family have been fishing Florida waters for four generations and can put you on the fish!

Depending on what trip duration you choose, the species you target can differ:

The half-day trips are his entry-level excursions and are a great way to get acquainted with the local fishery. On these 4 hour trips, you will troll for Spanish Mackerel and King Mackerel either in the morning starting at 6 AM or in the afternoon starting at 2 PM.

His 3/4 day trips are also offered in the morning or the evening starting at 6 AM or 3 PM. With a couple more hours on board for this 6-hour trip, you can head further out to reel in Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish, Triggerfish, and much, much more.

On his full-day adventure, you can really get the full saltwater experience. Trips start at 7 AM and you can spend the whole day on board, fishing for Red and Vermillion Snapper, Grouper, King Mackerel, and a ton of other tasty food fish. You really need to make room in the freezer before this trip!

No matter which trip you choose, Captain Doug's 43' Bertram sportfisher comes loaded with all the fishing gear you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. She's a beautiful vessel and a badass fishing machine, with a full cabin, tower for spotting fish, outriggers, a full head, and much more.

With all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses provided, all you need to bring is your sun protection, some snacks and drinks, and your camera!

Captain Doug knows his guest are looking to relax and have a good time on their fishing trip. He wants everyone on board to have a memorable fishing experience so, even when the action in the water is low, he and his team will work hard to keep you entertained. Their goal is to make sure their customers have a great time, bring home the best catch, and create lifelong memories with family and friends.

About Your Guide

Doug P.

Independent Guide 31 years of exp.

Captain Doug was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida. He has been fishing the area waters since he was old enough to sit on his dad’s lap and hold a rod and reel. He carries on the tradition as a 3rd generation boat captain. Captain Doug has been on and around the water all of his life, including fishing, surfing, and scuba diving.

Captain Doug started his first charter fishing job in the early ’90s and never looked back. “I get enjoyment from watching my customers smile, laugh, and make memories that will last a lifetime.”

Doug's charter is a family-owned and operated company. His son, Jonathan, has been the mate now for 5 years.
