About Your Trip

Join Captain Craig for an exciting Red Snapper fishing trip in the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico! Departing from Gulf Breeze, FL, this 5 or 6-hour adventure is perfect for anglers of all levels, offering the chance to reel in one of the Gulf's most prized fish – the delicious and hard-fighting Red Snapper.

You'll fish within 9 miles of shore aboard a 23' Parker center console, powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. Outfitted with a livewell and an I-pilot trolling motor, the boat is designed to get you on the fish quickly and efficiently. Captain Craig will guide you through the best techniques to target Red Snapper and ensure you're fishing in the prime spots for success.

All gear is provided—rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses—so all you need to bring are your snacks, drinks, and sun protection. Best of all, fish cleaning is included, so Captain Craig will fillet your catch so you can take it home ready to cook.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying offshore fishing for the first time, this Red Snapper trip with Captain Craig guarantees an incredible day on the water and the opportunity to bring home a fresh, tasty haul!

About Your Guide

Craig M.

Independent Guide 51 years of exp.

As a boy growing up in Texas, along Galveston coastal waters, I learned to love fishing from my Pappy. In our gulf were many Snapper, Cobia, and King fish. I have many fond memories of that time. I have 50 years of experience fishing all along the gulf coast. From Texas to Alabama. Now fishing from Pensacola Beach in Florida, I have always enjoyed our Gulf coast. I am a resident of Gulf Breeze. I am licensed and insured. I enjoy the beaches, water and the people. Let’s go fishing. I can show you some of the best fishing on the Coast! I am ready to share my experience and the joy of fishing with you!
