Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Trips with Proud Pelican Charters are fun for all ages, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

You'll be casting lines from Twilight, a 35', safe comfortable, dry and quiet, sportfishing vessel with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Proud Pelican Charter is hands down the best around—don’t hesitate, just book it! From the moment we stepped onboard, Captain Chris and Austin made us feel completely welcome. They were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and made the entire experience seamless and fun. Great music, great conversation, and amazing fishing…everything you could want in a perfect day on the water. The trip flew by because we were having such a great time. Truly an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to go again!
Thanks Mindy!
Caught several NICE tile and Grouper. This was by far one ohe best fishing charters we have been on, and the crew absolutely rocked it! This is perfect for a family or group of friends looking for a ton of fun. All you need to bring is your snacks, beverages, and cameras. I will definitely book again with this boat and crew!
Thanks Eric! The Crew lived having you guys aboard! Come back and see us again sometime!
Captain Chris & his deckhand Austin were super helpful & friendly too. there were 4 of us & we caught lots of fish. we hit our limit on vermillion snapper & got a scamp grouper. it was a great day on the water from start to end. we even got to see the Blue Angels practice on our way out. Highly recommend this charter!
Thank you Julia! we look forward yo getting you back on the water!
Both of our trips with Capt. Chris and the Proud Pelican Crew were Awesome! One of the cleanest charters I've been on. They were helpful, accommodating and showed our out-of-town friends how to catch snapper and grouper. Would highly recommend for all of your charter needs.
Thanks Suzanne! Cant wait to see you and the crew again!
We started off with rain delays but it didn’t matter we got out there fast got our bait and hit the hot spots and made a fantastic day of it. Captain Chris and his crew were fantastic to take us to the hot spots kept us constantly fishing and were so great to make up for lost time due to rain delays. His boat is big enough to be comfortable on open seas and fast enough to get you there in a timely fashion. 1000% book with these guys!
