Good Time Charters is here to provide a fun and memorable day for the whole family! Whether you prefer fishing or scalloping, Captain Melissa and her 1st mate will show you and your loved ones the best ways to get to your targets. You can learn everything about catching fish as you go along, so there’s no need for previous fishing experience.
Climb aboard Melissa’s 22' center console boat. This vessel allows for up to 6 anglers to fish at the same time, in comfort. Don’t worry about travel times, as its 300 HP outboard engines and sleek hull design allows it to speed along at a maximum cruising speed of 30 knots. The boat features a trolling motor, a live bait tank, navigational electronics, auto pilot, depth finders, and a radar.
We offer inshore and offshore fishing trips along with scalloping trips when Scallops are in season.
Fishing has a wonderful way of being both relaxing and incredibly thrilling! Get your hands on a variety of species, such as Flounder, Redfish, Black Seabass, Spotted Seatrout, Sand Trout, Shark, Sheepshead, Cobia, Gag and Red Grouper, Red Snapper, Lane Snapper, Hog Fish, Tripletail, Trigger Fish, King, and Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, and many more.
All fishing equipment you’ll need and your fishing licenses are included in the price. You only need to pack some snacks, drinks, and bring your sun protection.
Kids are more than welcome, but the minimum age is 5 and above.
Visit one of the best places to Fish and Scallop in the Gulf of Mexico and join Good Time Charters in the beautiful waters of Steinhatchee, FL.

6 Hour Trip – Scalloping
Excellent day on the water with Melissa. We limited our on Scallops easily. We have two maxed out Ziploc bags full of Scallops. Melissa was friendly and knowledgeable exactly what you want for a calm day fishing or Scalloping! The highest recommendation if you want a no nonsense calm day on the water.

4 Hour – Inshore Fishing (MAX 4)
Melissa, was a great and friendly captain. We enjoyed the trip even though the fish weren't biting as much as we would have liked. Melissa moved us to different locations as the fish finder prompted. We had several catch and release because of size of the fish, but all in all we really enjoyed the trip.
