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!

Met captain at location everything just like he said. Stopped first to catch bait went well moved on to catch snapper didn’t stay there long because caught limit. My son caught a 19lb 34 inch snapper first drop. Plenty of vermillion snapper. Amberjack was fun to watch 8 hr meat haul trip worth the money. Captain Brett was by far the best in the business. From departure felt like it was our boat. He knows where the fish are

8 Hour MEAT HAUL Offshore Trip

Awesome day with multiple limits

VERIFIED

Great day! Started out slow but captain Brett didn’t give up. Once we found the fish it was on quickly hit our limit of red snapper then went to get vermillion and we got our four man limit of those in no time. With a bonus mahi mahi and some mangroves and a lame snapper. Overall was a fantastic charter would recommend to anyone.

Trip was Awesome! Captain stayed in contact and we worked around weather. He put on fish all day and when the bite slowed we moved and got right back on the bite. I would strongly recommend Captain Brent. Great Captain!
