About Your Trip

Get ready for an action-packed day on the water with Captain Chris at the helm! Whether you're a seasoned angler or casting a line for the first time, this nearshore trip is all about excitement, variety, and the chance to hook into some of the Gulf’s most sought-after species.

Captain Chris brings years of fishing experience to the table and knows how to put you on the fish using the techniques that work best for the day. You might find yourself bottom fishing over reefs, drifting with the current, or trolling through open water—all while using light tackle, spinning setups, or whatever gear gets the job done. With so many options, there's never a dull moment.

These trips target a wide range of species, depending on the season and conditions. You could go after hard-fighting Cobia, speedy King Mackerel, or schools of Spanish Mackerel tearing through baitfish. On the bottom, expect Vermilion Snapper and Black Seabass—tasty fish that are just as fun to catch as they are to eat. And keep your eyes peeled for Wahoo and Mahi Mahi, which sometimes make surprise appearances offshore.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 28’ center console that comfortably fits up to six anglers. Outfitted with high-quality rods, reels, tackle, and lures, this boat is built for versatility and comfort. Live bait is available too—just check in advance if you’ll be catching it yourself or if it’s already onboard.

No fishing license? No problem—it’s all taken care of. And when the day winds down, any legal catch is yours to keep, with fish cleaning included so you can take fresh filets home for the perfect end to a perfect day.

This trip is family-friendly and great for kids, too! Just bring your own child-size life vest or check ahead with Captain Chris to make sure one is available. Don’t forget your favorite snacks, drinks, a hat, sunglasses, and some non-spray sunscreen. Beer is welcome, but leave the hard liquor and glass bottles behind.

With Captain Chris leading the way, this trip is your ticket to great fishing, salty breezes, and unforgettable memories on the water. Come ready to chase fish—and maybe land the catch of a lifetime!

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
