Bout Time Charters
Bout Time Charters
Bout Time Charters specializes in affordable and fun trips in and around Pensacola, Florida. Join the crew for a day out on the beautiful Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound or head out into the nearshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Whether you are a beginner who has never held a rod in their hands, a seasoned professional, or just want to introduce your kids to fishing, you have found the right place. With Captain Brett, you don't have to travel too far out to enjoy an outstanding bite. There is a lot of fun for less money!
There is no need to limit yourself to backwater fishing. If the weather cooperates, you can venture out into the Gulf for a healthy dose of Snapper, King Mackerel, and Grouper.
Or just stay within the calm waters of Pensacola Bay and explore the inshore bite. Get your hands on Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, and Spanish Mackerel. And don't forget about Sharks that can be caught any time of the day!
All trips come with fishing licenses, tackle, ice, quality rods and reels, and fish cleaning. It's a good idea to bring your own food, drinks, sunscreen, a car, a small cooler to take your catch home with you, and a camera.
Bout Time Charters will welcome you, your friends, and family aboard a Federally Permitted 31' Cape Horn. This is one of the bigger boats in the fleet. This is a clean, seaworthy boat that comes powered by a pair of 300 HP Suzuki engines. There is plenty of fishing space for up to 6 anglers.
The boat is outfitted with state-of-the-art navigational and fishfinding electronics, as well as other professional tools and accessories. Its Minn Kota i-Pilot trolling motor will hold you on the spot all day and the t-top will provide extra shade. All aboard!

Kelley Renfroe5.0VerifiedBest Captain!!
4 hour offshore pm on July 12, 2026 • 5 adultsWe had such a great time on our fishing trip. Brett made us feel welcome right away, and his energy set the tone for the whole day. He knew exactly where to take us, and we were reeling in fish almost immediately. It wasn’t just about the catch — it was the laughs, the conversations, and the feeling of being taken care of by a Captain who truly loves what he does. It’s the kind of experience you talk about long after you’re back on land.
Zachary Zuehlsdorf5.0Verified“Epic Offshore Adventure with a Pro Captain!”
6 Hour Offshore Trip - 1:00 PM on April 1, 2026 • 3 adultsHad an unforgettable day with Brett at Bout Time Charters! From the start, he kept us updated on weather and sea conditions and made sure everyone felt comfortable—even if you’re new to offshore fishing. Once we headed 18 miles out, the action didn’t stop: we hit our limit of Vermilion Snapper and even caught several other species. Brett’s experience, professionalism, and easygoing personality made the whole trip smooth, fun, and stress-free. If you want a top-notch fishing adventure in Pensacola with a seasoned captain who genuinely cares about your experience, Brett is the one to book!
Trey Reeves5.0VerifiedGreat Trip with a Great Captain
8 Hour MEAT HAUL Offshore Trip on June 1, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a awesome time with Captain Brett and Bout Time Charters. Captain Brett had a geat plan for our trip, but due to rough sea conditions we were not able to do it. He had another plan and we caught fish all day long, limiting out on red snapper and vermillions with some other bonus catches to go along. Captain had a geat attitude and was prepared for whatever needed to be done. I highly recommend. We cant wait to go again.
Heidi Trepkowski5.0VerifiedThat's a Big Fish!
6 Hour Offshore Trip on April 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Brett was great to work with! With a family of 5, I wasn't sure what type of trip would be best. He answered my many questions before the trip and checked in with me before the trip. We did a 6 hr trip and spent time both near shore catching Spanish Mackerel and then went off shore to catch Vermillion Snapper and Amberjack. What an amazing trip! Captain Brett was great with the kids and attentive to what we wanted to do. I would recommend him to anyone! We drove an hour to charter with him and would gladly do it again! Thanks for a great trip!
Keith Hall5.0VerifiedGreat trip for families!
6 Hour Offshore Trip - 1:00 PM on July 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childThis was the first time we went offshore fishing. We had 3 teenage boys and a preteen girl. Captain Brett was amazing! Worked hard to give everyone the experience of reeling in a massive fish! Our daughter even wanted to catch a shark and he tried very hard to get her one. He had a lot of patience and extremely knowledgeable! Definitely recommend him for your fishing trip!

8 Hour MEAT HAUL Offshore Trip on July 25, 2026 • 6 adultsCaught our limit of Vermillion Snapper in no time and headed out further and snagged several Red Snapper and Grouper, as well as plenty other fish we released back. Probably caught 80+ fish! Was a great trip for the kids and their first time offshore fishing. And the dads had a great time as well! Thanks to Captain Brett and his deckhand Carrie for a great trip!
Jackson Hadden5.0Verifiedhighlight of our trip !

Will Poland5.0VerifiedThe man, the myth, the legend…
5HR Offshore Trip - 1:00 PM on July 1, 2026 • 4 adultsWhat was expected to be a difficult trip turned into a fantastic outing. We caught *two 40+ lb amber jacks- what a fight! and many vermilion to harvest. Capt. Brett was extremely accommodating and patient with the 2 kids we had with us. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to land big fish! ~Will Woodburn, Ky.
Robert Toolen5.0VerifiedGreat trip, couldn't ask for better
5 Hour Inshore/Nearshore - 1:00 PM on August 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenBest charter I have ever had. Put us on fish quickly, caught plenty to take home. Then moved us onto game fish.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I started fishing with my father when I was 3 or 4 years old. I immediately loved the whole feeling of being outdoors and enjoying all the cool things the world has to offer while fishing. There is so much more to fishing than holding a fish! I love all types of saltwater fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, free lining, sight casting, stealth approach, and even cruising.
