About Your Trip

Extend your adventure and get deeper into the action with Captain Chris’s 4- and 6-hour nearshore trips, running seasonally from April 15 to October 31. These trips are perfect for anglers looking to go beyond the flats and explore a wider variety of fishing grounds, with plenty of time to hop between productive spots and get hooked into something exciting.

Departing from the local launch and heading into nearshore waters, Captain Chris will take you in search of hard-fighting and delicious species like Redfish, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle. As you move a little farther from shore, you'll also have the chance to target deeper dwellers and some serious toothy predators—including Blacktip, Hammerhead, Tiger, and Bonnethead Sharks. With the right conditions, this trip offers the perfect blend of quantity and quality.

You'll be fishing from a 24’ Mako center console, powered by a 325 HP Vortec engine, built for speed, comfort, and versatility. It’s fully equipped with GPS, fishfinder, a wide T-top for shade, a live bait well, and an icebox to keep your catch fresh. Whether you're casting, trolling, jigging, or bottom fishing, this boat gives you the platform and power to do it all.

Captain Chris provides all rods, reels, tackle, and bait, so you’ll have everything you need for a successful day. Just pack your favorite snacks and drinks, and don’t forget your camera—these waters are full of surprises, and you never know when you’ll hook into a shark or a reel-screaming Kingfish.

These trips are great for families, couples, or small groups of up to four anglers, and are especially well-suited for those looking for a fun and flexible saltwater fishing experience without heading too far offshore.

At the end of the trip, Captain Chris will clean and fillet your catch, so you’ll head home with fresh fish ready for the table. The crew works hard to keep the action going and the good times rolling—tips are always appreciated for their effort and expertise.

So whether you’re after meat fish, monsters, or just more time on the water, these nearshore trips with Captain Chris deliver big fun in a short window. Book your trip and come experience the bite firsthand!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
