Maxed Out Charters is all about fishing the stunning waters of Homosassa.Captain Billy will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of angling experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Bluefish, Black Drum, Redfish, Sheepshead, Whiting, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Spanish Mackerel, Lane Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and who knows what else!
For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll be fishing aboard a Skeeter SX2550 bay boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Fantastic Captain and a good haul

    6 Hour Trip on September 26, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain communicated well about planning and kicking off the trip. A cold front hit the night before we set out but Bill manuevered well to the right spots to hit our quota of Redfish! He knows the Homosassa waters well and i’d book him again for a group trip. - Thanks for a great time Bill!

    Great Birthday Gift from my wife.

    6 Hour Trip on March 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Me and my wife caught a lot of fish. Billy of Maxed Out Charters was a great Guide and Captain. Our first time out near Cape Coral. Of course my wife out caught and out casted me. I caught a Bonnet Shark which is why I wanted to go out. We also caught multiple Trout, Mackerel, Lady Fish, Snook, Catfish and Jack fish. Also got to see some Dolphin along the way. Definitely highly recommended. Mark & Lori

    Great Fishing Trip!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on November 25, 2024 • 5 adults

    I have 2 sons who have never fished. Captain Billy was patient with them teaching them how to cast and giving them guidance. His boat is amazing and well equipped. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. We will definitely be contacting Maxed Out Charters for another fishing trip.
