Captain Billy Williams invites you to join him aboard his 25’Skeeter SX2550 bay boat powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. This is a 2021 model and it still has that fresh boat smell! It also has top-notch marine electronics, safety gear, a live bait tank, an ice box, and a wireless trolling motor for quietly sneaking up on fish in the shallows. Bring your fishing buddies or family members along, since it can hold up to 6 anglers comfortably.

Captain Billy Williams will do everything he can to put you on some of the most attractive species in the area. Snook, Redfish, Seatrout, Snapper, and Sheepshead are on the menu, but the list of your potential catch doesn’t end here.

Top-of-the-line fishing gear is provided by the charter, including live bait and lures. The first mate will gladly clean and fillet your catch after the trip is over. Drinks and fishing licenses are also covered – you just have to show up and Maxed Out Charters will make sure you have an unforgettable trip.

3/4 Day Trip on May 16, 2025

Captain Billy was great. Very friendly and very professional. Came prepared with lots of bait put us on the fish, but when they weren’t biting during a slack tide would quickly move to new location and find places where they were biting. We ended up catching every fish we were targeting which included snook, red fish, trout, Spanish mackerel, not to mention plenty of ladyfish and catfish to fill in a slack time as well as an unexpected shark. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this Charter and captain to anyone.

Half Day Trip (PM) on April 19, 2025

Captain Billy had us on the fish immediately. When we maxed out on our red fish catch, Captain Billy targeted the next species. As the afternoon progressed, we went to one of the beaches to hang out for a bit. Next, we searched for and found some manatees. All and all, it was a fun filled trip for our family! Thanks again, Captain Billy!

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 4, 2025

Great morning on the water with Captain Billy Maxwell. He kept the lines baited and in the water so we were able to keep bringing in fish. Communication prior to trip about expectations, experience & pick up was fantastic. We had a great time!

3/4 Day Trip on September 14, 2024

The captain demonstrated exceptional patience and expertise in assisting us in rectifying certain ingrained habits acquired during our extensive experience as seasoned bluegill fishermen in Illinois. We had a fantastic day on the water, thoroughly enjoyed the fishing experience, and would highly recommend this excursion to anyone in the vicinity.
