Gulf Bay Charters is set on a safe and friendly experience, all while chasing the targeted fish. Captain Jake Durant and his business partner grew up fishing in Pensacola, which gave them a powerful advantage on knowing where the fish are and where they’re going to next. They have the experience, knowledge, and confidence to offer a catch guarantee or your next trip is free.
Your adventure starts in the Southwind Marina, as soon as you onboard your captain’s 25’ Skeeter bay boat. She’s been newly built in 2020 and comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests. Powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, the boat also features navigational electronics, safety equipment, and a live bait tank.
Your fishing spots depend on weather conditions and fish activity. You can go all the way from Pensacola to Gulf Shores, visit local backrivers, and pass along the beach, bays, and nearby reefs and wrecks. You’re most likely to catch Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle.
Your captain will provide you with brand new fishing equipment and prepare cold water and sodas. Feel free to bring your own cooler for more drinks and some snacks. You can keep the fish you catch if it’s within legal limits and the captain will gladly clean and fillet it for you.
If you’re looking for a laid-back family fishing trip or an intense slam-packed day of chasing trophy fish – Gulf Bay Charters will accommodate to each customer individually. They look forward to meeting you and giving you a trip full of memories!
