Let Ocean Cat Charters take you on an unforgettable journey out of Pensacola, FL. Combining trolling and bottom fishing, you'll spend a day catching what is in season treasures of local waters. Captain Mike will be your host and guide on this adventure, making sure you've got the best possible equipment and ready to assist whenever you need him. Whether you're a first-time angler or already have years of experience behind you, welcome aboard!

There are lots of advantages of the boat you'll be fishing from. This 36' Twin Vee catamaran accommodates up to 6 guests, with enough space for everyone to fish in comfort. With a cruising speed of 22 knots, you will be on the fish more quickly. This gives you more fishing time to bag a variety of species. A 12' beam is extremely stable and there's also a full-size bunk for dry storage.

Short trips are great for beginners or families with kids that don't want to go too far off the coast. You can target Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, and many more. For those of you looking for something with more adrenaline, full day trips are just what you need. You can spend the whole day targeting Red Snapper, or troll after, Wahoo, and other big game species.

It's never been easier to get ready for a fishing trip. You only need to pack some snacks and sun protection. Everything else is covered by the captain - your fishing licenses, equipment, bottled waters, zip locked bags. Feel free to bring other soft drinks of your choice.

Ocean Cat Charters is a ticket for a perfect day on the water. You decide when you're going to take it!

    Great Day

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (PM) on April 6, 2023 • 6 adults

    Capt Mike and his deck hand Shane were awesome. Capt Mike put us on the fish and Shane was quick to handle what you caught and kept our hooks baited. This was the first time off shore for 4 of the 6 in our group, including two 14year olds, but after the trip on the Ocean Cat it will not be their last. If you are anywhere near Orange Beach and are considering trip off shore to fish, I highly recommend you give Capt Mike and the Ocean Cat a try. Thanks again to Capt Mike and Shane!!

    6 hour PM trip

    6 Hour – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on August 17, 2023 • 4 adults

    We are soooo glad we picked the ocean cat! Capt. Mike treated us like long lost friends. Great guy, wealth of knowledge, and worked his ass off to make sure we stayed on the fish. Boat was more than big enough for our party of 4. Capt. Mike also put up a giant sun shade to keep the temp down. We are still talking about the great trip!!! Highly recommend and we will be back!! Five stars

    6 hr trip with Mike and the Ocean Cat

    6 Hour – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on May 30, 2022 • 5 adults • 2 children

    It was a heck of a trip out due to some tough water but the Captain did a great job getting us there safely. The boat was always clean and there was plenty of room for all of us. Fyi beanbag chairs are the best thing ever in rough water! We ended up catching over 30 V-line, a huge Amberjack, a couple of spades, some red snapper(couldn't keep them yet), & a couple other random species. All in all around 80+ fish caught between 5 guys. WE. WILL. BE. BACK.

    Offshore with Ocean Cat - perfect trip

    3/4 Day Trip – Bottom/Trolling AM on April 21, 2023 • 5 adults

    Rough seas on the way out this morning but Mike's boat is perfectly suited to slice and dice through. We made amazing time and got on the fish super fast. Never lacked a single thing and had a damn blast the whole day. Will be coming back for some fall fishing.

    8hr trip with captain Mike and Ocean cat

    8 Hour – Bottom Fishing/Trolling on July 26, 2021 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Great trip with captain Mike on Ocean cat. Best captain I've had in half a dozen offshore charter trips. Mike and his crew Shane worked hard to put us on fish from catching bait to a limit of red snapper and a limit of vermillion snappers while other boats struggled to put fish on the deck. Captain Mike exceeded my expectations that had been set by previous captains. He was great with everyone on board including my kid. The ride was great in his big catamaran and the included bean bags. I can't wait to book another trip with captain Mike. Thanks for the memories

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (PM) on March 28, 2023 • 5 adults

    We all were first time at fishing and couldn’t have picked a better crew to go out on. We caught fish to keep and a lot of fish to throw back. We had a blast thanks to the Captain doing everything to make this experience so wonderful

    4 hr afternoon trip

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (PM) on March 24, 2022 • 6 adults

    Fun time with Mike and Shane, very friendly, got out to sea fast, 8 miles out. Shane worked hard taking off fish and keeping bait on everyone. Caught a variety of fish, 50 vermilion sometimes 2 at a time, like my first cast. They worked hard to keep us on fish. Would recommend a trip with the Ocean Cat. Clean boat with radio, bring your favorite music.

    Been on this charter a few times. Captain Mike always put us on big fish and we always catch our limit. Shane was a awesome first mate and works hard. I would 100% recommend this charter.

    Had a great time with Captain Mike and deckhand Shane!…. Conditions were a little rough, but the Ocean Cat cut through the 3-4 ft swells like butter. It made the trip out and back quick which allowed us to maximize the time we had our hooks in the water. We targeted bigger snapper and had some success. Captain Mike definitely made sure he didn’t waste our time if the big boys weren’t at that spot, we’d pick up and move on to the next one. We landed one 20+ pounder and pulled the hook on a second one right at the boat. Of course we still came in with our boat limit of keepers. In all we probably landed around 20 fish total. We caught 3 Amberjack, a handful of triggerfish, and a bunch of legal snapper. We probably only caught 2 snapper that were under 14 inches. We also trolled for about a 1/2 hour between spots and got a nice bite! That reel was screaming, but the hook didn’t catch unfortunately. All in all, it was a great trip! We caught a lot of fish in 1/2 day with just 3 people. (One of the 3 in our party didn’t even fish much) Not only would I recommend Mike and Shane to anybody looking for a trip, but I look forward to fishing again with them next time we are in town!

    My son in law and I had a great time. Captain Mike had us on fish as soon as we were out of the channel into the main ocean. We caught Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, hard tails, Amber Jack (catch and release due to season), and another type I forget the name. Either way, it was a very good outing and Shane, 1st mate was prompt and kept our lines baited. Later he fileted our keepers. Thanks Captain Mike and Shane.

    This was the first charter trip for our family, and from the moment we met Mike and Shane on the dock we felt very comfortable. It was a cold and rough day, but Mike still got us to several fishing spots and we all had a great time. He even loaned his jacket to my daughter-in-law who was not expecting it to be so cold that morning.Shane was also very helpful for us “newbies”, and kept us loaded up with bait. The boat was just the right size for our group, very clean, and fast. I would highly recommend Captain Mike and Ocean Cat Charters to anyone looking for a great fishing charter experience!
