You came for the water, so let’s get on the water.  Not being a native to Florida doesn’t necessarily make you less passionate about helping folks, like you, get to know the Forgotten Coast from it’s best perspective. In fact,  Dream On Fishing Charters likes to think it makes them more passionate. Being Kentucky natives, they traveled here in 2016 and after spending just 3 days here, decided to move 750 miles to enjoy life to the fullest.

Captain Ron knows that how you spend your family’s vacation time and money are well calculated decisions, and he’ll do everything in his power to show you a great time whether you’re in the bay or in the Gulf.

You’ll be fishing on a 25’ Sea Fox that accommodates up to 6 guests. She’s powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine and a wireless trolling motor, and features navigational electronics, a private toilet, and top-notch fishing equipment.

For the Dream On Fishing Charters, being a charter is not a job, it’s a way to share all the blessings and adventures they get to experience. A way to take you out, unplug and gain a more simplistic focus on this grand adventure called life.

We can spend the day fishing, where it seems the fish are going to pull you off before you get ‘em in. You can also combine fishing with shelling on beautiful little St. George Island, where you can hardly step and miss a shell, or cruise around and be mesmerized by all the dolphins and manta rays.

Dream On Fishing Charters.

Near shore half day

Great time was had by all

VERIFIED

Our party of 6 had a great time with Capt.Ron. We did catch a lot of fish but unfortunately not a lot of keepers,that is the breaks! It did not take away from the fun we had! We missed the start of Red Snapper season by a few days. Red grouper were in season but most of them we caught were an inch or 2 too short. We still ended up with a good enough catch to feed the 6 of us that evening with some leftover fillets for a few sandwiches the next day. Captain Ron cleaned our catch and even gave us some bait for surf fishing while we were staying on St.George Island. Great captain, great time and the consensus among us is he would be the man to call when any of us go back!

Great Fishing Charter

Captain Ronald gave us an awesome fishing charter experience! He is very knowledgeable and took us to great spots. Captain was very time efficient on the water. When the fish stopped biting in that area, he wasted no time to move on to the next spot. We consistently caught fish. Our group of 6 enjoyed our day with him. We do recommend him for your next fishing charter!

Full Day Trip – Offshore

DreamOn = FISH ON

VERIFIED

Captain Ron was great. Very knowledgeable, and fun to talk with. He took us to great spots, and we were on fish immediately. We hit many spots, and if the fish weren't biting, we moved. We had the time of our lives, and memories for a lifetime. Highly recommend this to everyone. It was nice to reach limits on vermillion snapper and red grouper. We also caught red snapper and gag grouper, and although they weren't in season, we have pictures for memories. Thank you, Captain Ron, see you again soon!

Half Day Trip – Offshore (AM)

Great Service!

VERIFIED

Captain Ron put us on fish at several spots and we came home with enough fish to feed a house of 8. We had to contend with sharks getting the fish before we could get them to the surface and in most cases they would snap the line. There were 4 of us and Ron would still have your line rigged back in what seemed like seconds. Great service. His knowledge and experience overcame the challenge of the sharks and we had a good day. I highly recommend!

Captain Ron was Amazing

VERIFIED

Captain Ron battled the sea's to get myself and son-in-law on some great offshore fishing 30 miles out (the photo does not give justice to the full day catch). Large grouper and snapper, and when the shark showed up he moved us to better grounds. The boat handled the rough morning sea's and flew back to the dock at full speed. No doubt, you will enjoy the character and witty personality of Captain Ron.
