Cap. Joe and mate Adam were great. Adam work diligently to always have a fish on all of our lines, even though we would lose it the minute they went in the water. The boat was nice to have air conditioning to get out of the hot weather. Both captain and Adam worked hard to take us to many spots to try to catch many fish. It was a very fun and memorable day in the Gulf and I feel very fortunate that I picked this outfitter. 
Cpt Joe, Adam & Luis (Lucas) 😉, did a great job of keeping fish on our line for our family of 7, ages: Dad 😁 down to a 12 year old girl. They worked really hard even after having just got in from a 6 hr trip that morning. We caught SEVERAL varieties of fish including cobia, trigger, flounder, grouper, remora, red snapper, vermillion snapper, spanish mackerel, king mackerel and more. Thank you, gentlemen for a memorable experience!!
We had an amazing time on the 3/4 Day Red Snapper trip with Cool Change Charters on July 18th. The entire crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional from start to finish. What really stood out was how patient and helpful they were with our young kids. They went above and beyond to accommodate their experience level, made sure they were comfortable, and worked hard to get them on fish. Watching the kids catch fish and have such a great time made the trip unforgettable. We caught a great variety of fish, including Red Snapper, Mingos, and Mackerel, and the crew was always willing to answer questions and share their expertise throughout the day. If you're looking for a family-friendly charter with a professional crew that genuinely wants everyone to have a great experience, I highly recommend Cool Change Charters. We'd absolutely fish with them again.
We had an amazing time on this fishing charter! We brought 2 adults and 6 kids, and it could not have been a better experience for our family. The boat had a nice inside/covered area which was perfect for the kids to take breaks and stay out of the sun when needed. The crew was incredibly patient, helpful, and made sure every kid had a chance to catch fish and have fun. They were great with families and made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. We made great memories and would highly recommend this charter to anyone, especially families with kids. We will definitely be back!
we had a great time on our 5 hour trip with Captain Joe, Adam, and Louis!! The time out on the water was exactly what we wanted and we appreciated Joe and the crew doing everything they could to get us on the fish and help us have a great trip. we caught a ton of spanish mackrel and a few red snapper. the crew were all great with my 11 and 6 year old daughters who now won’t stop asking about when they can go out again. i would highly recommend Cool Change Charters, you’ll be glad you did.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I started commercial fishing the bays at the age of 12, and have since worked on the water, running all types of vessels. I have been in the charter fishing business full-time since 1987, and I have been USCG licensed since 1982. I have fished over 4,000 paid charters and still love to see people catch fish! Our crew takes pride in our boat, customers, and catch. I would like to have the opportunity to take you and your family, or a group of friends, fishing!
