It runs on two 150 HP Yamaha engines and is equipped with Garmin electronics, including radar, sonar, chart plotter, and G3 software. The boat has twin livewells, cushioned seating, and gull wings to withstand sea spray and wind to keep the passengers completely dry. The boat’s also got a portable toilet, GPS spot lock trolling motor, a multimedia system, and an ice-box.
Depending on the time of year and season, you can catch Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Mingo Snapper, Almaco Jack, Amberjack, Pompano, Red Snapper, Trigger, Blacktip Shark, reef sharks, and many others. You’ll use only high-end tackle as well as multiple types of fishing techniques. The crew specializes in bottom fishing but you can also troll as well as experience free lining. Kids are welcome to come aboard and the crew will enjoy helping them learn to fish. The captain will ensure that you keep all the fish allowed by the FWC. He’s generous with the length of the charter and looks forward to helping you build the best experience ever.
When you join the crew for a trip, pack some snacks and any special drinks you want. The captain will take care of everything from drinking water, gear, licenses, as well as cleaning your catch.
Fish with Play N Hooky Charters and let it make your trip to the Emerald Coast special.

A excellent fishing trip
6 Hour on May 26, 2025
If Captain Glenn is available definitely book him. We caught our limit early and targeted different fish I got my personal best on trigger fish. My daughter caught a excellent cobia. My son-in-law caught a 7 ft shark. Definitely going to book him again.

Great day on the water with top notch captain
6 Hour on August 9, 2024
We had a great day on the water. The captain was knowledgeable, experienced and energetic. Had a strong plan and worked very hard. We caught 4 nice red snapper (out of season), lots of triggerfish (no keepers) and strong bites of Bonita. Hurricane Debby affected the fishing, but we felt we had the best chances to catch fish with this captain.

Captain Glenn was very knowledgeable and put us on fish pretty quickly. He knew the area very well and had several spots up his sleeve.

8 Hour Trip – Gulf Fishing on July 15, 2021
We’ve been fishing with Captain Glenn several times and it’s always a great trip. You can count on safety as priority number one, and if there’s any fish that will bite a hook Captain Glenn knows where to find them. If you’re looking for professionalism, knowledge of the sport, and patience with those of us who can’t quite get the knot tied just right, then look no further.
