Known all over the world for its incredible fishing, Florida's Panhandle is the place to be for anglers. Gulf Bay Charters will take you out of Pensacola to the Gulf's productive nearshore reefs and wrecks as you go in search of some prized, delicious fish. Your captain has a lifetime's experience fishing these productive waters, and so knows all there is. He promises to show you a good time, getting as many fish as possible aboard.

Up to 6 guests are welcome aboard the 33' World Cat catamaran to witness the magic. The spacious vessel has everything you need for a productive, fun day on the water. Take advantage of the covered and uncovered seating as you head off to sea, and get ready for near-perfect vision as you battle it out with your prey. There's a toilet on board for all your needs, so there's nothing to worry about.

You'll be covered with all the latest fishing gear, as well as plenty of lures and live bait. The nearshore waters are overflowing with beautiful, exciting, and delicious fish, so get ready for a productive day aboard. Try bottom fishing and trolling to entice the bite of Amberjack and Kingfish to test your fishing skills and try to fill the boat with Groupers, Snappers, and Cobia to head home with a delicious treat for dinner.

At the end of your trip, the captain will clean and prepare your catch at no extra cost. Just heat up the fish and enjoy the product of a fun day out! Everything needed for a fun day out will be provided, so just bring some drinks and snacks and make the most of Gulf Bay Fishing's incredible offer. Come aboard and experience the magic.

Captain Jake is the Man!
Half Day Trip on May 25, 20252 adults

Gulf Bay Charters run by Captain Jake and First Mate Logan is first class operation. If you want to catch fish, Captain Jake is your man! The boat was awesome and we were on fish the entire charter. We would recommend this charter from novice to expert. See you next year Captain Jake and Logan!

Awesome trip
Half Day Trip on July 19, 20255 adults1 child

Rick was an absolute beast of a captain. Put us on a lot of fish. If the fish were not biting he didn’t waste time and tried another spot until we found them. Caught our limit for 6 people.

Captain Jake has been fishing since he was in diapers. In 2018 he decided to start his own business with a partner. They bought a Skeeter because he spent his youth fishing on that type of the boat. He accommodates all kinds of customers, regardless of experience or skill as he loves to teach people how to fish. The most important thing is that everyone catches a lot of fish and has a good time.
