6-Hour Trip
Enjoy more fishing time and variety with access to reefs at 5 and 15 miles offshore, as well as backwater fishing. This trip increases your chances of landing bigger fish, including snapper, grouper, cobia, kingfish, and more. A great balance of action and relaxation, with the opportunity to explore some of the most productive fishing areas.

Great family day out

3/4 Day 6hr Island Adventure on June 12, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

We had an amazing day on the water thanks to this incredible boat charter! Our family explored beautiful sandbars, hunted for shells, swam in crystal-clear water, and were lucky enough to see both dolphins and manatees up close. The boat was comfortable, Mike (the captain) was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. It was a perfect day full of great memories—highly recommend for families looking for a fun and relaxing adventure on the water!

Amazing Fishing Experience

3/4 Day 6hr Trip Shared 11am start on February 20, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

Amazing Fishing Experience with Charters N Paradise! I recently went on a fishing trip with Charters N Paradise and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we boarded, the captain Mike is friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the best fishing spots. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making for a smooth ride. We caught Sheephead, Lady fish and red snapper Captain Mike was always ready to help with baiting, reeling, and even cleaning our catch at the end of the trip. What stood out the most was their dedication to ensuring everyone had a great time, we were a first-timer to deep sea fishing. I highly recommend Charters N Paradise , Captain Mike for anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing adventure . I’ll definitely be booking with them again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would you like me to tailor it for a specific charter or experience?

Awesome trip with Captain Mike

1/2 day 4hr Fishing Trip PM on November 25, 2024 • 2 adults

I booked a half-day inshore trip on very short notice with Capt Mike and from the start he was outright awesome. Immediately responsive to questions and very accommodating when my wife and daughter asked to join my son on I at the last minute. Mike has an awesome boat that was more than comfortable for the 4 of us and an extremely sturdy platform. Gear was all top notch and all 4 of us were successful in catching fish. We caught roughly 30 fish including mangrove snapper, sheepshead, lady fish, snook and a black snapper that was the last fish of the day. For the last hours of daylight Capt Mike took us around the point of the bay to watch the sunset and dolphins at play. A great time was had by all and I would not hesitate to use Charters N Paradise and Captain Mike again. A+!

We had a blast!

3/4 Day 6hr Trip Shared 11am start on March 15, 2025 • 2 adults

Despite it being a very windy day, we had a blast! Capt. Mike tried spot after spot for us to fish even though it was difficult to stabilize the boat sometimes because of the wind. Safety first! was Capt. Mike's motto when we tried to go offshore; waves were a little high and we were getting splashed and ultimately soaked, so Capt. Mike turned around and we continued a number of spots for inshore fishing. Trout, snappers, jack, some keepers, many smaller ones released. Like I said, we had a BLAST! Thanks Capt. Mike
