Hot Spots Charters is based in Pensacola Beach, Florida. They operate a fleet of boats, offering everything from inshore to offshore trips. With them, you'll get to experience the full extent of fishing these prolific waters offer and hopefully land your dream catch.

You'll be riding on board a 31' Cape Horn center console. This fishing machine is equipped with two 250 HP Yamaha engines, which will propel you to the offshore grounds with speed. The boat is also fitted with all the necessary electronics, as well as a livewell and an icebox. It can fit a maximum of 6 anglers.

As the boat holds a federal license, your captain will be able to take you beyond the state water limit. This means you'll get to explore some of the less pressured offshore spots, in hopes of landing more keeper fish. Some of the species you'll target include Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, Amberjack, and Sharks.

All trips include fishing equipment, bait, and licenses. You'll also be accompanied by a first mate who'll assist you with everything during your trip. Leaving a tip for the crew is customary.

Hot Spots Charters runs family-friendly trips, so you're welcome to bring your kids along if you know they can handle the open waters. Book a trip today and get ready for your next Florida fishing adventure!

young captain who knows how to put you on the fish!
6 Hour – Offshore on May 17, 20262 adults2 children

just an amazing trip. went out i think 13 miles- nearly caught our limit at first stop- allowed us to get way more selective in size we kept. hooked and battled a large shark- for nearly 40 min on a non shark setup, saw shark twice before it snapped off at end of 40 min battle- made all my kids day. then immediately hooked up on a massive snapper- landed it, took pictures and let it go. boat is very fast and will get you from spot to spot quickly also had pin gps function so it could hold us over the hot spot. cant say enough great things about this captain.
