About Your Trip

6 hour/Half day trips are a favorite during the Red Snapper season. We go get a limit of Red Snapper and chase some other fish and have a lot of fun on the water. After a half day working on fish most crews are worn out and ready to relax on the beach and have a cold drink. This is the perfect boat and trip for both beginners and seasoned fishermen wanting to have fun and plenty fish to eat on vacation. Make this a part of your vacation experience, we catch fish!!!

On 4 hour trips we generally go after whatever is biting and it is all about having fun catching fish not worrying about a specific species rather focusing on what is close and the bite is hot. With limited time we do not want to spend the time riding, we want to be fishing and catching fish! Red Snapper is available on this trip.

6 hour trips (half day) during snapper season we go after limits of snapper then start working on other fish that have been biting. We generally get a limit with a few large snapper along with an average size to complete the limit, and some other fish species. We do not focus on all big fish as we are time limited and want to make sure we get you as many fish as possible up to the limit.

8 hour trips allow the captain time to be more picky about the fish we keep so the average size of what we keep is normally larger. It also allows time to target other fish and expand the adventure.

This vessel is a great family and starter boat because she is open air, fast, and most affordable. Captain Walt loves working with new fishermen and youngsters, getting them hooked on deep sea fishing forever. She is the perfect boat to take the family or group of up to 6 people, and have a private trip with a captain and deck hand focused on your success and enjoyment of the day. There are plenty of fish to catch, the secret is to have fun catching them!!!!

We ask you to bring wipe on sunscreen rather than spray on if at all possible as the spray gets on the floor and makes it very slick. You also need only to bring drinks, snacks, and a camera for pictures. When the trip is over the crew will clean your fish and bag them for you. The deck hand is normally the hardest working guy on the boat helping you with bait, tips on catching, rigging the rods, and all around helping make the trip easier and fun. Tipping the deck hand in customary in the 10-20% range.

Captain Walt will be contacting you before the trip so if you have any questions he will be happy to answer and make sure it is a great trip!

About Your Boat

Boat Type: Center Console
Boat Manufacturer: Cape Horn
Boat Length: 31'
Engine Manufacturer: Suzuki
Total Horsepower: 600
Number of Engines: 2
Additional Amenities: This vessel boats twin 300 horsepower Suzuki engines. She is a fast no-frills fishing boat we used as a personal tournament fishing boat for years before we started the charter business. She is fast and economical with a large fishing deck. The downside is that she has a portable head. We ride on bean bags, which are very comfortable, on the trip out and back into the dock. This boat is what most of the fishing charters in the area use because they are fast, large fishing deck, and the most economical. They are perfect for 4-6 hour trips because of the speed and versatility, and the very large fishing area that allows people to spread out while they fish. With 6 fishermen it is not crowded and all 6 are able to fish at the same time and avoid tangled lines. Amenities: GPS, Fish finder, Satellite music and weather, Live Bait wells, Bean bag chairs, down riggers

Jerry and his sidekick were incredible. We haven’t been fishing for the past 10 years or so, and they showed us the ropes again. Weather was great and our catch was nice considering the fact that I got seasick. Not because of them. I’d recommend again!!!

Captain Walt and Keith were fantastic! Extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful, plus great to crack a joke and share a laugh with. The waves were choppy when we went out and Walt & Keith guided us through it and took us around the area when we eventually got too sick haha. Highly recommend! I’ll be coming to them again in the future.

Booked charter 6 months in advance only to have assigned captain (Jerry) cancel on us the evening before our charter. Never got a call or explanation from Jerry so it kind of left us feeling like we had been dumped. Adam from Captain Experience found us a replacement Captain (Chase) that did a great job but still feel as though we were shortchanged. I hope you dump Jerry as one of your “excellent” captains.
