Get down to Gulfport, Florida, and embark on a offshore fishing adventure with Scotty J’s Charters, a veteran-owned and family-operated company that is Federally Permitted for the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Launching out of Gulfport Municipal Marina, their location gives them quick and easy access to the prime fishing waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Out on the water daily, they keep a finger on the pulse and are always up to date on fishing conditions.

You’ll be riding out into the Florida sun on a 2022, 30’ Sea Hunt Gamefish center console with room for up to 6 passengers. Onboard the boat you’ll find an up-to-date Garmin fish finder with twin screens, a chart plotter, radar equipment, 3 live bait wells, and iceboxes to keep your beverages chilled. There’s also a flushable private toilet on board.

Depending on the season and length of your trip, you will fish for King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Cobia, both Red and Gag Grouper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, American Red Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, occasional Dolphin (Mahi) or Wahoo, and much more. Depending on the species, this will be done by either slow trolling, drifting, or anchoring over wrecks with their On-Spot GPS anchor, using live, dead, or artificial bait.

All fishing equipment, tackle, bait, catch cleaning, and your fishing license are included in the price of your trip. Just remember to take some food and drinks along with you.

Scotty J’s Charters promises you a clean vessel, well-maintained equipment, and a fun day on the water! If you have a special request, do not hesitate to ask, if able, the captain will gladly accommodate you. So come out and enjoy the sunshine on the deck or some shade under the large T-top with misters and go catch some fish.

Great Captain
12 Hour – Offshore on June 26, 20254 adults
Captain Johnson was an amazing captain. He is an easy going captain that let us do what we wanted, as long as it’s within regulation. Capt J. put us on fish, we caught our targets species. We were able to bring our own rod, reels and tackle on the boat. It’s a great feeling to be able to land fish with our personal gear. Captain J boat is really clean and comfortable. I would recommend Captain J if you want to fill the cooler. Thank you for putting us on our targeted fish and let us use our personal gear.

8 Hour – Offshore on June 8, 20252 adults
Had an awesome time with cpt rich. He kept us on fish all day. We caught a lot of fish and had a blast. He was super friendly, laid back and accommodating. It took us a little while to get off shore because of the waves (but the trip out was awesome- saw baby dolphins next to the boat) so he kept us fishing longer because of it! Couldn’t recommend this enough!

Captain Rich is the man.
8 Hour – Offshore on April 27, 20254 adults
We fished on the Scotty J for the second time this year, it was a blast. We left with enough grouper and snapper to feed our vacation party of 12, with leftovers. Captain Rich will definitely get you on some good fish. Bring some ibuprofen, you will need it after reeling in fish ALL DAY.
