Capt. Glen aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, or drift fishing. You’re looking at 4 to 6-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Wahoo, Tuna, Barracuda, and Snapper, depending on the weather and time of year.

You’ll be fishing from a 32’ Boston Whaler boat with enough room for up to 5 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet and an ice box.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can.

You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Glen runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need.

The boat will be supplied with drinks for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Trips are run by the Captain with the help of a first mate, who is there to help you fish and keep everyone safe on board. It’s customary to tip the Captain and first mate 10%–20% at the end of the day to show your appreciation.

Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Black Tip Charters.

Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing (PM)

Family Fun Day with Capt. Glen (Black Tip Charters)

VERIFIED

We had to cancel our initial booking thanks to Southwest's holiday debacle, and Capt. Glen was very flexible in rebooking and looking for a time slot that would work for us. I'm glad it all worked out, and he made it possible. We trolled for big snapper for a little but that didn't work out, and then we moved spot to spot to get the kids on some reef fishing action, they pulled fish after fish. Finally the kids had to get wet, so we hit a beautiful snorkeling area, then Stingray City before the big headboats arrived, and then a spot away from crowds at Starfish Point. Capt. Glen and his crew (Dwight!) will make your trip memorable, and goes above and beyond for his clients.

Half Day Trip–Deep Sea Fishing (AM)

Bucketlist Item Achieved!

VERIFIED

Nothing but praise for the Captain and Bubba. They worked with 6 of us cruising tourists and jumped through hoops after Cayman Offshore Adventures cancelled on my family last minute. Both of them were knowledgeable, fun, and patient. Not only did we catch fish, they told us where to cook them up at !
