Make some memories in Palmetto and go fishing with Carbon Cat Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Justin can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Cobia, Goliath Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Red Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Scamp Grouper, Red Grouper, Amberjack, Gag Grouper, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Your trip begins aboard a 35’ HammerCat center console catamaran that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Carbon Cat Charters!

Great day on the water
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on August 17, 20242 adults3 children
We took our three kiddos (12, 10, and 2) out on a nearshore trip with capt. Justin and we all had an amazing time!! His boat is perfectly set up for everyone to fish and hangout comfortably and enough room for my toddler to run around and my 12 year old to nap 😅 Plenty of shade to keep you out of the Florida sun. He kept us on fish the entire day and managed to get around 10 different species. Super knowledgeable guy and did a great job with the kids and keeping everyone on fish. Highly recommended!

Full day trip with Capt Justin Lambeth
Full Day Trip – Offshore on September 20, 2023
Booked a full day trip with Carbon Cat Charters and it was an amazing experience. He put us on the red snappers and we had a blast. The boat was unlike other style boats I had been on over the yrs of taking charters. It was stable in the waves as they picked up throughout the day when we were fishing. On the way back the ride was dry and smooth as we were getting into some rough seas and I was very impressed with his boats smooth ride. Overall me and my buddies had a great time and lots of laughs with Justin and his deck hand. I would highly recommend him and we plan on another charter later this year.

These fellows keep a super clean excellent riding, roomy boat! They are super friendly and knowledgeable! The meeting place was conveniently located and prior to the trip communication with the Captain was terrific and timely! You can’t go wrong using these guys for a trip!! Lastly, they put us right on the fish and did a great job cleaning them when we returned to port! We will be rebooking!

Great day on the water!
Extended Day Trip – Offshore on June 7, 20244 adults
I had an absolute blast with the captain and his first mate today, we probably caught about 75 to 100 fish between the four of us that were on the boat. We limited out on red snapper and caught a bunch of red grouper, gag, grouper, and even a bunch of hard fighting Amber jacks. 10 out of 10 would recommend this charter. Can’t wait to go back!
