About Your Trip

Hop aboard a top-tier 32’ sportfishing vessel and get ready to experience some of the best deep sea fishing in Franklin County, Florida! With plenty of room for up to six anglers, air conditioning to keep you cool, and a private bathroom for added comfort, this boat is built to make your day on the water smooth, safe, and seriously fun. She even exceeds U.S. Coast Guard regulations, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the ride.

At the helm are Captain Kevin and Captain Zach, a father-son duo with over 20 years of charter fishing experience. As a locally owned and family-run operation, they’re not just experts in putting anglers on fish—they’re passionate about creating memorable, family-friendly adventures on the water. Whether you’re an experienced angler or bringing the kids out for their first time with a rod and reel, they’ve got you covered with patience, knowledge, and a whole lot of fishing know-how.

Looking for the perfect fishing adventure in Franklin County that’s fun, flexible, and fit for the whole family? Whether you’re dipping your toes into fishing for the first time or you're ready to take your skills up a notch, these nearshore and offshore trips offer something for everyone—from quick outings to full-day excursions with nonstop action.

4-Hour Trip: Perfect for Beginners & Families

If you’re new to fishing or just want to stay within sight of land, this 4-hour trip is a great way to get on the water without going too far offshore. It’s an ideal adventure for families with young kids, first-timers, or anyone looking to enjoy a half-day of light tackle trolling with some exciting, fast-paced action.

In the spring months (March and April), you’ll be trolling along the coastline for Spanish Mackerel and Sheepshead—both fun fighters and great species for building confidence on the rod. As the season progresses into late spring and summer, the targets heat up with King Mackerel, Bonito, Cobia, Dolphin Fish (Mahi-Mahi), and Bluefish entering the mix. Most of the fish you’ll reel in on this trip range from 3 to 15 pounds, offering plenty of fun without being too overwhelming for younger anglers.

6-Hour Trip: A Step Further Offshore

Want to stretch your sea legs a bit more? The 6-hour trip takes everything great about the 4-hour outing and turns it up a notch. This is your chance to go a little farther offshore and add some bottom fishing to the day’s plan. Red Snapper (in season) are a favorite on these trips, and kids love the thrill of dropping bait down deep and feeling the tug of something big on the other end.

This trip is the perfect middle ground—more variety, more fishing time, and still family-friendly.

8-Hour Trip: Deep Water, Big Action

For the full-day anglers looking to go all-in, the 8-hour trip is where the real offshore adventure begins. You’ll combine trolling and bottom fishing for a full lineup of Gulf species. Expect to target Snapper, Triggerfish, Amberjack, and Grouper (season-dependent) when bottom fishing over offshore reefs.

During the run to and from fishing grounds, the crew will set lines for high-speed trolling, a thrilling way to hook into Wahoo, King Mackerel, Mahi-Mahi, Bonito, and more. With this much water to cover and time on your side, the opportunities are wide open—and the adrenaline is high.

No matter which trip you choose, you’ll be fishing with an experienced, family-run crew that values education, conservation, and making memories that last a lifetime. All gear, bait, and licenses are provided, and the crew will even clean your catch after the trip—just bring your favorite snacks, sun protection, and get ready for a great day on the water!
