Their boats are always brand-new and fully rigged with the best equipment to make your fishing experience one to remember. The captain invites you to join him in Pensacola and enjoy a fun and productive trip on Florida’s bountiful waters.

Your boat for the day will be a 27’ Grady-White center console able to carry up to 6 anglers. It runs on twin 300 HP Yamaha engines and uses comprehensive navigation electronics that will all help you quickly and efficiently reach fishing spots. The boat has got a portable toilet and a shower and features a multimedia system, an ice-box, as well as a multimedia system. Also, there’s a livewell for providing live bait.

On your trip, you can fish inshore, nearshore, offshore, reefs, and wrecks. Some of the interesting species you’ll have the chance to catch include Red and Mangrove Snapper, Triggerfish, Mackerel, Amberjack, Flounder, Sheepshead, Gag Grouper, and many more. To attract them, you can use many different techniques on heavy and light tackle. Feel free to keep the fish you catch and take it home.

Captain Glenn welcomes kids on his boat and provides all the fishing rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as bait, drinks, and licenses. If you want to fly fish, you’ll need to bring your own gear. In case you keep your catch, the captain offers free cleaning and filleting. Pack some snacks and drinks and you’ll be all set.

Awesome Trip!
6 HOUR AFTERNOON on October 14, 20256 adults
We had a great day out on the water - 2 dads and 4 boys, ages 14-16 on a 6-hour offshore trip. The night before our trip, we called to see if we could start our trip an hour earlier, Captain John didn’t have a morning trip booked and told us the bite window we should target and gauranteed we’d catch fish - and he was right! It started the minute we reached the first stop. We caught well over 60 fish - Mingo, Red and Black Snapper, Amberjack, Ruby Red Lips, Remora, and more. We almost hit our limit of Mingo. I’ve been on several charters in the Carolinas, Florida, Costa Rica, and Belize - I can honestly say that this was one of the best! Captain John was great getting and keeping us on the fish…and did a great job coaching our boys on depth, bait, rigs, and even fileting the fish. Highly recommend this trip!

6 Hour Trip – Offshore Fishing on July 27, 20253 adults
Had an awesome time with my son, daughter, Captain Glen, and John our deck hand. They were very attentive and helpful to our fishing needs. Put us on some outstanding fishing reefs. We caught our limit on red snapper and only 5 short on mingos (vermillion snapper). Not captains fault, we missed enough to limit everything 😁. Would highly recommend this charter to anyone who wants a good time on the water.

Good day of fishing, beware of dolphins
6 Hour Trip – Offshore Fishing on July 26, 20255 adults
Very good day of fishing. We had to move because of weather but that's par for the course in Florida. Capt. Glenn and mate April got us on good fishing right off . When things slowed, he moved us to other spots that produced, until the dolphin showed up. Dolphins essentially scare off fish so we would do well for a bit but then it would stop. This continued for three spots or so and we couldn't shake him so we decided to call it a day. Capt. Glenn did his best and we still had a good haul. Would recommend this charter.
