About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Charlie for the perfect day out on the water. Part of what makes Captain Charlie such a great captain is his ability to cater his trips around your skill level and goals. So whether you're an expert angler or just getting started, wanting to chase limits or your next trophy, Captain Charlie will work his tail off to surpass your expectations!

You'll be fishing on board his 20' AquaSport center console, which offers 360º of fishing and is ideal for groups of up to five! Your primary target species will be Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, Snook, and other classic Florida species.

We had a blast! Captain Charlie kept us moving not only did we catch great fish but we enjoyed dolphins all around us and a manatee swam right next to the boat. He was early for our trip and recommended a wonderful restaurant that cooked up our fish that he cleaned for us. We will be back next year to do it again Lord willing 🙏Thanks Captain Charlie
