Located in Apalachicola, Williamson Outfitters offers unforgettable adventures along the beautiful waters of Florida's Forgotten Coast. Capt. Chris Williamson & crew are seasoned USCG-licensed captains committed to your safety and enjoyment, guiding every trip with local knowledge and professional care. With 7 boats & guides in our fleet, we can accommodate any size group!
Join Capt. Chris aboard his custom 25' Pathfinder bay boat w/ tower—fully equipped with USCG safety gear, fishing tackle, and snorkeling equipment—for a fishing trip targeting inshore favorites like Redfish, Tripletail, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, White Trout, and Black Drum. Seasonal catches include Mahi-Mahi, Cobia, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, Ladyfish, Sharks as well as trophy-sized Tripletail and Tarpon. Trips range from 3 to 8 hours and may involve light or heavy tackle, jigging, trolling, popping, or spinning.
Looking for something different? Come scalloping with us during the summer months! It’s a fun, family-friendly underwater treasure hunt in the shallow grass beds—great for all ages.
If you’re looking for something truly unique, don’t miss our nighttime flounder gigging trips—a thrilling coastal tradition ideal for families and adventurous guests.
Not into fishing? Our custom cruises and eco-tours are the perfect way to explore the barrier islands, shell beaches, and local wildlife. Options include dolphin-watching, island drop-offs, and laid-back sightseeing. Each trip is fully customizable for your group.
During fall and winter, we also offer fully guided duck, gator, and hog hunts for those looking to experience Florida’s wild side.
All fishing licenses, rods, reels, and terminal tackle are provided. We’ll clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip for an additional fee of $1.50/lbs. Just bring drinks, snacks, sunscreen, and a cooler for your fish.
Need lodging? Ask Capt. Chris about our Eastpoint Lodge accommodations—perfect for groups up to 11 guests

Nearshore Mahi Mahi (3/4 day)
Our first fishing trip, but definitely not the last, with Captain Chris and Ben was better than expected! He put us right on the fish and kept us on them the whole trip! He was great with our grandson and made his wish of catching mahi come true. They were very kind, respectful and informative letting us know what to expect and delivered a trip we will not soon forget! We can’t say enough good things about Captain Chris and Ben. You will not be disappointed!

Tripletail Fishing (3/4 day)
Captain Brice worked very hard to find the Tripletail for us. They were super slow the week we went but we were lucky along with his persistence in getting us to the spots. It was our first experience and we had a great time. We cooked some up when we got home and.. man were they delicious! Thanks Captain Brice and your Wakulla man helper(sorry don’t remember his name) but we gonna bring him a hair clip next time..lol. 😊

Tripletail Fishing (3/4 day)
By far the BEST captain I've ever fished with. Knowledgeable, quick and efficient, we had a snotty, nasty day and he kept us dry and fishing. We loaded up on Triple Tail and then chased redfish for a few hours. Planning my next trip ASAP.
