Join Crossroads Charter Fishing in Stuart for a memorable fishing adventure in southeast Florida. Captain Chris Murray has been fishing these waters for over 25 years, since he was a high school student, so you will surely get an authentic local experience.

His 22' Ranger bay boat can comfortably accommodate up to 4 anglers. It's powered by a Mercury V6 four-stroke 200 HP motor with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots. The boat is equipped with the latest electronics to improve your chances of catching some prized fish!

Depending on the experience you would like to have, you can choose from a variety of trips Capt. Chris has to offer. You can head nearshore and try your luck with Cobia, Permit, and Kingfish. If the weather permits it, and the water is calm, you can even go a little further and try reeling in some Sailfish.

If you wish to have a more relaxing time, there's an evening trip. You'll be fishing around the local bridges. Soak in some great sunset views while targeting Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, and Trout. Capt. Chris' easygoing personality keeps the mood on his boat light-hearted and informative.

You'll use Shimano and Penn reels and rods provided by your captain, as well as live bait and lures. If you want to go fly fishing, note that fly fishing gear isn't provided. You can bring your own, but be aware that 2 people can fly fish at once.

Capt. Chris really enjoys spending time with kids, so this can be a great family adventure. Kids of all ages are welcome aboard, and their safety is guaranteed by the captain. You are free to bring some food and drinks, and make sure to bring some sun protection as well.

Pack your family and come aboard Crossroads Charter Fishing for an experience you won't forget!

    Great way to spend a morning with my Dad

    5 Hour Morning Trip on May 24, 2023 • 2 adults

    Our trip out with captain Chris was awesome! We caught a lot of fish, learned about the different kinds, and just had a very nice time out on the water. Chris is very easy going and knows what he’s doing - he allows his patrons to do the fishing themselves while he guides which was exactly what we wanted. Overall a great experience and I definitely plan on going again. Thanks Chris!!

    Snook Slaying Day!

    6 Hour Trip on June 21, 2021 • 2 adults

    My father (75) and I just got back from an action packed day trip with Captain Chris Murray and Crossroads Charters. I mentioned prior to booking to Captain Chris that we wanted to get put on some Snook…… Within 15 minutes , Crossroads Charters DELIVERED! We were landing Snook left and right! An absolute amazing experience for both my father and I. We caught 15+ Snook easily. Captain Chris’s knowledge of these local waterways is truly incredible. With the knowledge also comes an awesome personality that makes the experience that much better. For anyone visiting or even living in Martin County if you are looking for an action packed Fishing Trip with a Captain who truly knows his stuff and is just awesome to be around. Crossroads Charters is the answer. Thanks again Captain Chris

    Afternoon snook trip

    4 Hour Evening Trip on November 28, 2021 • 2 adults

    Really enjoyed the trip with captain Chris. Boat was well equipped with plenty of bait. Rods and reels worked well for handling the snook. He was at the dock and ready to go early and was on the fish. Hit multiple spots and didn’t hang out too long killing time if the bite wasn’t there. Captain Chris was friendly and patient even when we got hung up a couple times. I would highly recommend booking with him if you want an enjoyable laid back trip.

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Evening Trip on May 9, 2021 • 4 adults

    Had a great evening and morning trip with Captain Chris. Really enjoyable to fish with! All three of us got into some beautiful Snook and some Jacks too. My daughter was especially thrilled with her first saltwater trips. Captain Chris did a wonderful job teaching techniques that were new to us and making sure all the little details were taken care of. Great boat and all of the equipment/gear is top quality. Hope we get back someday!

    Half Day Trip with Captain Chris

    6 Hour Trip on March 23, 2021 • 3 adults

    Captain Chris is an upfront stand up guy. We had a trip planned for Tuesday and he gave me a call the day before with what to expect if we went out Tuesday. Fishing had not been great yet. He gave us the option of switching our day to Thursday. We took him up on it. He also went out of his way to get better bait for the day. We caught fish and had a great time. My kids learned a lot from Captain Chris. The next time we are down on vacation, Captain Chris will be getting a call from us. Thanks again Captain Chris.

    Great Fishing in Relaxing Atmoshphere

    Single Passenger on February 8, 2020 • 1 adult

    Captain Chris calls ahead of the trip to make sure you have all the details to be prepared. He makes getting loaded up and on the water easy. We hit some big fish and Chris does a great job being patient and teaching techniques to get you landing more fish as the day goes on. He has a great single fisher rate that is a great bang for the buck! He is not a clock watcher. His interest is teaching great fishing and making sure the customer has a great trip. I had a great trip, learned a lot and had some fantastic fillets from bay to belly!

Capt. Chris has been targeting Snook and Tarpon in the Stuart, Florida area since his high school days (for over 25 years). Previously he owned a boat for many years and took out friends and family. He's recently set up his charter business and always works hard for his clients. His friendly demeanor and ability to find fish ensure a good time bending rods will be had on his trips.
