Breakwater Charters
+95Let Breakwater Charters take you fishing on the beautiful Crystal Coast! Captain Ashley offers lots of different options for you and your family. Even if fishing is not the main priority for every member of your group, there’s something for everybody. The ones that don’t want to hold the rod, they can hold the camera – the trip will take you to a beautiful sightseeing area as well.
You will be comfortable riding along in the captain’s 50ft Buddy Davis custom Carolina sportfish. The boat accommodates up to six guests and everybody can fish at the same time if you’re trolling. When bottom fishing, only four lines can be out at the same time, so you’ll need to take turns.
Depending on which option you are choosing to book, the targeted species change. If you’re looking to fish nearshore or offshore, you can target pelagic fish like King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Sailfish or do some bottom dropping for Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, and other bottom dwellers.
If inshore or nearshore would be more manageable for you and your group, targeted species would include Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, King Mackerel, and in certain times of the year Cobia.
Your fishing equipment and lures are covered, while it’s up to you to bring snacks and drinks. Don’t forget your sunscreen, especially on a full day trip. Kids of all ages are welcome, you only need to bring life vests in case they are less than 3 years old.
With their extensive navigation system and over 20 years of experience fishing these waters, you can count on Breakwater Charters keeping you safe and ensuring a fun time too!

Gangster Fishing Trip
Full Day – Bluewater Gulf Stream on May 15, 2025
Man what a trip! I have been on several trips with Captain Ashley. Dude knows the area and where the fish are. We went out for a full day gulf stream trip and Captain and Mate (Logan), btw that dude was by far the best Mate I've ever experienced, were both on time present abd jad the boat stocked and ready to go upon our arrival at 530am. Now, let me get to the experience, we caught 16 Dolphins, 1 sailfish that was released out; but Logan raised that flag like a proud Papa, 3 Blackfin Tuna, 4 Barricudas, and 1 Wahoo. This Charter is awesome and very inviting with how they made us all feel at home. Would highly recommend as we will be back for as long as Captain Ashley and his Team keep providing these memories. Thanks again Ashley and Logan!!!!

3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on October 25, 2024
Ashley and Bryce put us on fish all day. We did an 8-hour trip and brought home 23 fish…king mackerel and albacore. Bryce was very knowledgeable and took the time to share some fishing wisdom with us. When we got back to the dock, the normal person that cleans the fish was not there so Ashley and Bryce took the time to clean them for us. We are already looking forward to our next trip. 100% recommend these guys!

Superb Fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 16, 2024
My family of 5 booked this trip as our first ocean fishing trip and let’s say we are already discussing a full day trip for next summer. The Captain made the ride so smooth and enjoyable and the first mate was great at answering all my kiddos questions and explaining different features of the boat and fishing gear.
