An unforgettable offshore adventure starts here. If you're in Santa Rosa Beach or along 30A, step aboard with Deep Charters and experience world-class Gulf fishing with Captain Jon—an experienced, knowledgeable captain who knows how to put you on fish.

These waters are home to Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Red Snapper, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, Vermilion Snapper, Cobia, Swordfish, Grouper, and more. Whether you're trolling offshore, bottom fishing the reefs, or kite fishing for pelagics, expect aggressive strikes and screaming drags. We fish with top-of-the-line Shimano tackle on custom rods, all meticulously maintained for peak performance.

Families are always welcome—kids included. We carry a full range of life vests, and you're encouraged to bring snacks and drinks to stay fueled throughout the trip.

You'll be fishing aboard a powerful 38' Fountain center console, equipped with triple Mercury 350s. Built for speed, comfort, and safety, the boat features outriggers, radar, FLIR, liferaft, and all required safety gear—giving you the range and confidence to reach the best fishing grounds.

All rods, reels, bait, and your fishing license are included. We use a variety of techniques, including live bait and artificial lures, to match conditions and maximize your catch.

A professional first mate will be onboard to assist throughout the trip—tips of 10–20% are customary and appreciated.

We provide ice and bottled water, plus a cooler for any additional drinks you'd like to bring. Alcohol is permitted in moderation (no glass bottles or hard liquor). Don't forget non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera—you'll want proof of what you catch.

Best time on the Water
6 Hour Trip on July 3, 20263 adults

We had an amazing afternoon on the water with Captain John and First Mate Wyatt! We caught several red snapper along with a few other fish whose names I can’t remember. Captain John and Wyatt were incredibly accommodating, patient, and helpful, taking the time to guide us through the entire process. They worked hard to make sure we had plenty of action and a memorable experience. Their knowledge, professionalism, and friendly personalities made the trip even more enjoyable. We will definitely be booking another trip with them the next time we’re in Santa Rosa Beach. Highly recommend!

First time family fishing adventure
6 Hour Trip on April 17, 20264 adults

We scheduled last minute for a half day early morning family fishing trip. Capt John got us underway and discussed options. We decided to do a little trolling and caught some Mahi Mahi then moved on to do some bottom fishing. Once to Captain John’s location we caught Vermilion Snapper, a couple of Squirrel fish, and Trigger fish. One Trigger was very good size. We went back to trolling looking for something larger and lively. Wrapping up our adventure and heading in with a good number of keepers, Captain John saw some bait and activity. We trolled it a few passes but didn’t get the Wahoo we had hoped. Captain John took every opportunity to get us onto different and bigger fish. Heading back to dock we spotted dolphins. Being a family trip, Captain John afforded us a few minutes sightseeing to enjoy the dolphins. Back at the dock, Captain John and deckhand Wyatt cleaned our catch and even recommended a great restaurant, Jack-Acuda, to cook our fresh catch. It was phenomenal! Our one miss, or big regret, only booking a half day. Thanks to Captain John and Wyatt, we’ll see you again soon!

Great experience! made the most of less thab ideal sea conditions
6 Hour Trip on April 6, 20263 adults3 children

Captain John did a wonderful job getting my son and husband out deep sea fishing in less than ideal conditions on our last day of vacation. While you can’t control the weather - the captain made safety a priority and still managed to put the guys on fish in very windy, chilly conditions. red grouper and red snapper were the catxhes of the day. My son learned a lot from Captain John and they had a wonderful experience.

Response from Charter operator

Lauren, thank you so much for the kind words! We’re glad we could still make it a great trip despite the windy week when you guys were visiting—safety is always our top priority. It’s awesome to hear your son had a chance to learn and enjoy the experience, and putting some red grouper and vermillion snapper in the box is always a bonus. He is quite the angler. We truly appreciate you fishing with us and hope to have your family back out again soon in Santa Rosa Beach with Deep Charters. Capt Jon
