Time Off Fishing Charter
Time Off Fishing Charter
Time Off Fishing Charter is a family-owned and operated fishing charter in Shalimar, Florida that has fished these waters for over 20 years. If you’re looking to have fun and catch fish, then look no further! Except for being a good-humored angler, Captain Jason Yates is an army combat veteran and a full supporter of the military, first responders, law enforcement, and more! He and his crew are here to make your trip exciting, fun, and memorable. Call or text so they can get you on board the Time Off Fishing Charter!
Your trip starts on a 27’ Scout Deep V Center Console big enough to take 6 guests. Running on twin Yamaha engines and rigged with all the modern navigation electronics, the boat will quickly and safely get you to the fish. The boat is equipped with outriggers, downriggers, a livewell, as well as a wireless trolling motor. There’s a portable toilet you can use and an ice-box to store your drinks and food. For any help you may need, feel free to ask the first mate.
Some of the fish you can target includes Mahi Mahi, Snapper, Trigger, Grouper, Amberjack, Mackerel, Redfish, Trout, Wahoo, Tuna, Cobia, and many more. You’ll attract fish by bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, jigging, spinning, and drift fishing. Kids are welcome to come aboard and you can keep the fish you catch.
Captain Jason covers you for everything from fishing gear to drinks to licenses, and will even clean and fillet your catch for free. Before you go, just bring the food of your choice and you’ll be all set.
Join Time Off Fishing Charter and have a terrific fishing experience in Florida!

Half Day Trip – Offshore (AM)
Best 30th Birthday trip ever!
Captain Jason made this an amazing and unforgettable trip for my 30th birthday! My husband and I caught tons of Vermillion Snapper, amberjack, cobia, red snapper, red grouper, and even an 8ft bull shark! It was the trip of a lifetime and our captain did his best to put us on all the fish and took extra care to make sure we had an amazing time. Highly recommend booking a charter with Time Off Charters!

Shark Trip
Best Charter around!!
Captain Jason and his deck hand were awesome! They were both very friendly and made sure that all of our boxes were checked. we booked a shark trip, but the sharks weren’t hitting. Captain Jason immediately offered to get us on some King Mackerel since the shark bite was down. We were able to hook a 45 King mackerel. Captain Jason didn’t have to do this for us, but he wanted to ensure that we had the best trip possible. Would 100% recommend this Captain to ANYBODY looking to catch some fish and have a safe fun time!

4 Hour Trip - Offshore (Noon)
Risk/Reward
We had a small window of opportunity to go out between storms. Captain Jason told us we wouldn’t be able to bottom fish because of the conditions but we could take a chance on trolling for a big King Mackerel and boy did he deliver! My son wanted to catch a big fish and was treated to a 35lb King Mackerel, what a day with Captain Jason and his First mate! They were so kind and friendly to us.
