    BEST charter in the USA

    Half Day Trip (PM) on June 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    We’ve fished all over the United States, and every trip with Clarence reminds us why we keep coming back. He’s hands down the best guide we’ve ever been with! Whether you’re chasing fish eat or just looking to have an unforgettable day on the water, Clarence knows how to make it happen. We’ve booked with him several times already and can’t wait for the next trip. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, don’t hesitate—What A Day Charters is the only call you need to make. You won’t regret it!

    Thank you so much to Capt. Clarence and Capt. Josh. We had a great trip out, and their 3 generations of knowledge fishing this area knew where the fish were hiding. Thank you again - you both really went the extra mile.

    Great Evening on the Water

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was hands down and poles bent the highlight of our vacation. Non stop action. We caught over a dozen different species of fish and brought home several meals worth. The captain and mate made sure we were always on fish and had bait on our hooks. Fun for all ages. We can’t wait to do it again.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 14, 2026 • 5 adults

    This was our first time ocean fishing. We had such a fun time. Clarence and Nick were so personable and knowledgeable. It felt like we were fishing with family. They were so patient and just as excited as us when we caught a fish. Love love loved our time with them. Would absolutely recommend.

    Afternoon fishing adventure

    Half Day Trip (PM) on June 16, 2026 • 6 adults

    Super fun afternoon fishing. Caught about 8 different species of fish and took home some nice filets. Captain Clarence and his son were quick to bait us up and us keep going. We didn’t even mind the rain. Even saw a manatee and dolphins. Excellent charter. Highly recommend.

    Great family outing

    Half Day Trip (PM) on April 1, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had an amazing time out on the water with Whataday Charters! They made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We caught plenty of fish, and they were fantastic with our two boys (ages 9 and 11), keeping bait on the hooks all night so the kids could just focus on having fun. The Captain handled the boat so smoothly that we hardly noticed how rough the water actually was. Highly recommend!

Great night on the water
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 23, 2026 • 4 adults

Found this charter on Fishing Booker.com. It had several recent positive reviews and a price that couldn’t be matched. Captain Clarence and Jack were a great team. They put us on fish and taught us tips and tricks for hooking up. I learned a lot about different techniques which I can apply on a boat or from the shore(where we Commonly are). We caught several keepable mangrove snapper and Jack filleted them all once we were off the water. It was a fantastic evening on the water and highly recommend!

Great Captains!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

We went fishing with 2 adults and 4 kids and Captain Josh was so great with my 9 year old daughter! He helped her cast the line out and reel all the fish in. She loved it! Captain Spencer was friendly and knowledgeable and didnt bat an eye when we kept asking for more bait bc we were feeding the fish more than catching them. We did leave with fish to eat! We’ll definitely be back!

I have been fishing since I was around 5 years old. I taught all my kids and multiple family members about the art of fishing. I feel it helped ground them and teach them patience and that in life things do not always go as planned, you have to make the best out of what the Lord gives you. Just want to share this experience with others.
