If you’re looking for a Panhandle angling adventure that offers up plenty of hands-on action, Port St.Joe Charters can’t wait to welcome you aboard! Captain Kevin Quaranta, the man behind the helm of this charter, is a USCG-licensed native of Cape San Blas, Florida. He runs a first-class guide service that offers anglers of all skill levels a professional and exciting fishing experience. 

Capt. Kevin runs his trips out of Port St. Joe and explores the productive, plentiful waters of the Florida Panhandle area, including Apalachicola, Indian Pass, Cape San Blas, and East Bay. Here, you’ll find prized species such as Speckled Seatrout, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, Pompano, Tripletail, and even the mighty “Silver King”! (Tarpon).

Your captain prides himself on providing angling adventures that involve much more than simply putting your rod in its hole, and waiting for the fish to bite. He’ll make sure you have plenty of hands-on action, and is more than happy to introduce newbies to various techniques, including fly fishing.

If you simply want to appreciate the beauty of the Gulf County from the bay and its estuaries, your captain offers eco-tours that will let you take part in some light fishing, sightseeing, and making memories amid the natural beauty that you’ll find here.

Your adventure will take place on board your captain’s 21’ Angler skiff, perfectly built to cruise Port St. Joe’s many flats and shallow, skinny inshore waters with up to 6 guests. You’ll find life jackets on board, as well as a cooler for your catch. The vessel is also equipped with a trolling motor to help sneak up on the fish, as well as a power pole and a fishfinder.

You’ll be provided with both conventional spinning gear and fly fishing equipment, as well as bait, tackle, and your fishing license. All you need to do is come aboard Port St.Joe Charters for an unforgettable Floridian adventure!

Half day trip with Captain Kevin

VERIFIED

We really enjoyed Kevin’s willingness to teach us about the area, and even some of our novices how to cast. He put us on redfish right away. The boat was clean, the captain friendly, and the bay beautiful, and everyone caught trout and redfish. The water is so clear and shallow that you can see fun things as well. We “oohed and awed” over hammerhead sharks, sting rays, turtles, and a gorgeous sunrise. What more could we ask of inshore fishing? Kevin knew the area and put us on the fish again and again! See you next year, Captain, and thank you!

Half day trip with Captin Kevin!

VERIFIED

I just wanted to give Captin Kevin a big thank you for the wonderful day of fishing we had! Me and my husband had a horrible experience with a different charter in another state but this second experience was such a wonderful experience and we can not wait to come down again and book with Kevin! We had a blast slamming down all those fish ! The Drums were a blast to reel in and the fight was amazing! We could not of had a better turn around for a charter experience and Kevin knows all the right places and what to use when you arrive so if you are looking for a garunteed fun filled experience book with Kevin!

Surprise Birthday FUN in the Bay With Port St. Joe Charters

VERIFIED

I was looking for a fishing trip to surprise my husband with for his birthday, and “clueless” was the best way to describe my feelings of where to begin. I came upon this website and Port St. Joe Charters. The reviews were all so positive, and Captain Kevin sounded like the perfect guide to help our family have a FUN celebration on the water. From my initial “clueless” inquiry, to providing trip information and details, Kevin was so easy to work with. The trip itself was a BLAST! Kevin took the time to teach, tell stories, and celebrate our excitement, especially when my daughter and I both caught one fish with two different rods! : ) This is a second home area for us, so Kevin’s stories of growing up in CSB and PSJ added a personal touch to the trip. The fishing was fantastic, and seeing the various sea turtles swim by or come up to take a look was spectacular! My husband was truly surprised and impressed with his trip. He has fished many more times than me, so when he said that he couldn’t wait for us to go again, I knew that I chose well with Port St. Joe Charters!!! We will definitely be booking with Kevin again!

We had a great time fishing St. Joseph Bay with Captain Kevin! He is very knowledgeable and down-to-earth and did his best to help us have an enjoyable experience and catch fish. We even booked another half day trip with him during our stay! Landed some redfish, trout, and flounder- but cruising the bay and spotting wildlife was also nice. Looking forward to coming back and making more family memories.
