One of the best trips ever!
3/4 Day Trip on July 22, 20264 adults

We brought our teenage grandsons down for a week of vacation and set up the fishing trip. Captain JoJo and Eric we're very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. With their help, each one of us got a couple of fish and I think they did everything they could to get us to the right spots and get the fish to the surface. i would highly recommend Atlantic Gulf Fishing Charters, and we will be back next year to book another fishing trip with them. Make sure you get Captain Jojo! 🐠🎣🦈🐟

Spring Break
3/4 Day Trip on March 25, 20263 adults

Booked last minute. Very accommodating. Almost caught our limit on yellowtail. Caught a fantastic black grouper that we had to release because it was out of season. Got some great pics quickly and was able to release it for the next angler. Captain and First Mate were both ecstatic with the grouper. Kinda of a slow bite but the Captain was trying everything in the book to get us more fish. Super appreciative of the knowledge and the effort to make our charter successful.

Captain JoJo & his deckhand Eddie
3/4 Day Trip on November 25, 20256 adults

This trip was a lifetime bucketlist dream of my husband who has been battling stage 4 colorectal metastatic to the liver cancer. These two gentlemen worked their butts off to make sure we caught the sailfish that my husband had been dreaming of. It was very choppy, the captain did his best keeping the boat facing into the wind so the waves were at the minimum. I would do it all over again.

Rough Sea
Full Day Trip on July 8, 20264 adults

The sea was very rough and I wish that the captain would have advised us how bad it would have been before we left. He did call us beforehand and told us that not to worry about the winds as it would make the fishing better. Everyone on the boat got very sick and we had to return early. We did catch one small keeper fish though before we couldn't take it any longer.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
