Capt. Chad welcomes you aboard his 18' flats boat. She can accommodate 2 anglers (+$50 for an additional angler. No more than 3. This boat is powered by a 250 HP Mercury engine and a wireless trolling motor for when you need to sneak up on fish.

4 Hour Sand Bar / Sightseeing on November 23, 20241 adult1 child

Sure, here’s a great review for a fishing charter: I recently had an amazing experience with captain Chad and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment we boarded the boat, the crew was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They made sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable throughout the trip. The captain knew all the best spots, and we caught a variety of fish, including some impressive big ones! The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the equipment was top-notch. It was a fantastic day out on the water, and I'll definitely be booking with them again. If you're looking for a memorable fishing adventure, [Fishing Captain Chad is the way to go!

Response from Captain

Had a blast with a great father / son duo on this trip. Both caught the first and many Redfish!

Me and my wife an amazing day, and can’t wait to do it again. The Capt. Was so friendly and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible!

Response from Captain

Great people, quick learners and fun to have on the boat. It was windy and slow but Blake and Jessica fished hard all day and left with some filets for dinner!
