Fishing licenses are also covered by the charter, so no need to worry about getting one ahead of time.

Half Day Trip on December 27, 2025 • 5 adultsCaptain Chris and crew took care of us. Lovely time out on the water catching fish. We’ll be back!
Jeff FeemanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Captain, Crew and Fishing Trip
Extended Half Day Trip on April 1, 2024 • 3 adultsThis trip was great and would highly recommend. The captain and crew were very hospitable and took care of everything for myself and my family. They take you to spots were the fishing is good and go the extra mile to accommodate your needs. I appreciate all they did and would recommend this trip to anyone looking to have a fun time fishing!
Ethan RaauschRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat times!
3/4 Day Trip on March 22, 2025 • 6 adultsCaptain Chris is very accommodating and friendly. He will definitely put you on fish. Tyler is a great help on deck. We had so much fun fishing with them.
Ralph KingRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAnother great time
10 Hour Trip — Custom on March 3, 2024 • 6 adultsThis was our second trip with Captain Chris and his boat Jawbreaker2. He put us on so much fish. As soon as it slowed he was moving to ensure we all caught fish. We will fish with him again and recommend to anyone to go out with him. You will have a great time
Phillip WilbergRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic Trip!
Extended Half Day Trip on June 29, 2024 • 6 adultsCapt Chris put us on fish several times. The deck hand was very helpful to the younger kids as well as the adults. Everyone caught several fish, and we had a terrific time. Would recommend this Capt and crew highly
Josef Wegele5.0VerifiedCaught our Limit
Extended Half Day Trip on April 8, 2023 • 3 adultsWe had a great 5 hours heading out about 15 miles. First bottom fishing where we caught snapper and grouper . Then went trolling and caught our limit of king fish. When we returned to the marina Captain Chris filleted the fish and we took to a nearby restaurant for a hook and cook lunch. It was great day!!!!
Colby Parrish5.0VerifiedAwsome Crew and Fishing
3/4 Day Trip on July 9, 2022 • 6 adultsWe took a 3/4 day out with Captain Chris and Deck Hand Jack and had an awsome day! Captain Chris put us on the fish and Jack was there to help us with our every need. The boat and equipment are top notch. We will definately be seeing them in the fall for a longer trip when it is cooler. We definitely had the trip of a lifetime today.
Rachel LandonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat experience! Will definitely fish with them again!
3/4 Day Trip on July 19, 2020 • 4 adultsHIGHLY RECOMMEND! Five star all around!! I originally booked a 6 hour tour- but unfortunately due to weather we had to turn in and we weren't able to go out as far as originally planned. I was VERY impressed that Captain Will and first mate Chris were experienced and honest enough to navigate us to the best fishing spots to target the specific species I wanted (hog fish) AND brought us back right in time to dodge the storm. Other companies might have told us the storm wouldn't have been too bad so they could keep the 6 hour payment rather than refunding me for the other two hours. Our safety was made a priority and I am truly grateful. Will and Chris were super tentative and helpful. They both work great together and really hustled to make sure we hit multiple spots even with limited time. I live on Clearwater Beach with dozens and dozens of different fishing charter companies to choose from. Gulfport is about a 45 minute drive from my home- but, I will certainly be making the trip back to Gulfport to do another Jawbreaker charter- despite the dense fishing charter population right in my backyard. Highly recommend. These guys are the real deal and know what they're doing!
Paul Maynard5.0VerifiedFull day trip

Captain Chris and crew took care of us. Lovely time out on the water catching fish. We’ll be back!
Thanks Nick. We enjoyed having you on the boat. Everyone dis a great job.
Tyler very good captain overall we had a great t8me would definitely go agian
captain and first mate where kind, but i find it odd that they fish when you are paying them to take you fishing. i got tangled a couple times with first mate. no live bait, took a wrong turn when headed out and ran skag into the sand. It seemed like all they where worried about was putting fish in the cooler, and not catching quality fish. my Uncle that went with us waited over an hour to meet up with captin to get the fish fillets and he never showed up. he was parked in the same spot when we met the captain earlier that morning. The trip was just okay at best
Sorry you didn’t enjoy yourself. We did try to put you on some good fish. The weather kept us from going out deep. So we improvised and allowed you to catch some nice snapper and mahi. We did have live bait and you caught several grouper. We tried to teach you how to catch the fish and not to set the hook but you didn’t seem to master that. So we helped you to put fish in the box. I brought all the fish over to where we agreed to meet at the marina but you weren’t there. I called you but you didn’t respond until an hour and a half later after we were already home. Again, I apologize for the difficult day.
A friend and I took the boys out to get some fish for fish Tacos. Well we will be eating tacos for days. We had an awesome day on the water. Caught fish after fish. If they stopped biting Captian Chris was on the move to the next hot spot. We caught plenty for tacos and then went trolling for kings. Within seconds of getting the trolling lines down we had on a double. We proceeded to catch a king on every pass till we said that’s good enough. I will be booking with him again the next time we come to Florida.
What a great day to be fishing on the Gulf. Weather was perfect and the bite was on🔥. Thanks to Rick and the gang for a memorial fishing trip. You guys were the best.
