There's not a better way to enjoy your time in Florida than being on the water. This way of living is in the heart of Bailey's Charters and Captain Stephen. Whether you're here to catch some fish, find a new waterfront restaurant, or simply relax with your loved ones, you'll find all of that here. With a year round fishing season, any time is a good time for fishing.

Capt. Stephen welcomes you aboard his 25' Sea Born boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. Powered by a 300 HP Mercury Verado engine, this center console will take you where the fish are with speed and ease. She's always ready for catching fish, as she's equipped with a live bait tank, a cooler, a wireless trolling motor, and navigational electronics.

Most of the fishing will be just off the beaches, mangrove shorelines, nearshore ledges and reefs, and out to 25 miles to offshore wrecks and live bottom/reefs where we will be fishing in 75' of water. You'll use high quality Daiwa Saltist and Shimano spin reels, spooled with the industry's best braid and topped off with 100% fluorocarbon leader. Free lining live bait, bottom fishing, float rigs with shrimp, and jigging are the most reliable way to get hooked up on out local fish.

Your fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. As an extra treat, the captain cleans and fillets your catch after the trip, free of charge. Ask him to recommend a great dockside restaurant and head there for a feast! You only need to bring food, drinks, and sunscreen for your trip.

What a great trip!
6 hr Inshore Trip on April 13, 20263 adults

Captain Steve gave us a fantastic fishing experience! He taught us a lot about fishing for sea trout, snook, and redfish. And he was fun! He didn’t yell or cuss at us if we lost a fish, which I have experienced before. He also cleaned our fish when we got back to the docks. We had an incredible six hour adventure! Can’t wait to call Captain Steve again!!

Reported catch:
Snook
Speckled Trout
Response from Captain

Thank you Kyla for the great review, I appreciate it! Yes, NO. swearing ir getting mad at the customers trying to fish and learn hiw to catch our fiah here! That is just not excusable. Had such a great time with you and your Mom and boyfriend. Hope to take you all out again. Captain Stephen Bailey

Thank you very much Jodi for the review and the charter with you and your son! It was a beautiful day to spend out in the Florida waters and catch some fish, and glad we were able to catch a fish larger than him! LOL. The grouper was pretty great too, and look forward to taking you all out again someday if you are back in the area. Thank you, Captain Stephen Bailey

Great Trip!
6 Hr. Nearshore Fishing on April 4, 20264 adults

My 3 brothers and I went out for a 6 hour near shore trip with Captain Stephen. Stephen was an excellent captain. He gathered plenty of bait at early as 4:30 in the morning to fill his live well with bait for our 8 am trip. We caught our limit of mangrove snapper and captain spent an hour filleting our fish at the end of a long day.

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Response from Captain

Great day, and thank you very much for booking a charter with me! lots of delicious Mangrove Snapper, fun to catch and even better to eat. Glad you and your brothers had a great time. Capt. Stephen Bailey
