Introducing Captain Dennis Hodge Jr., affectionately known as Brody. Born and raised on the beautiful emerald coast, Brody developed a deep love for the water and the mysteries beneath the gulf's surface from a young age. He began fishing as soon as he could walk and has been passionate about it ever since. His enthusiasm for fishing was so profound that he dreamt of running his own charter boat to share his passion with others around the world.
Captain Brody's journey began on a well-known party boat in Destin, where he quickly rose to the position of first mate within the first month. His dedication, hard work, and love for fishing eventually led him to one of the top private boats in Destin, where he honed his skills in catching gamefish. After meeting all the necessary requirements, Brody took and aced the OUPV/6-pack captain's license test on his first try.
Now, Captain Brody is eager to share his expertise and love for fishing with you and your loved ones on his very own private, 36ft Hatteras Sportfish vessel.
We are committed to providing an unforgettable experience on the water, catching a variety of fish species. If you have any further questions or need additional details, please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

5 hour troll and bottom fish - 2:00 PM on July 27, 2025 • 3 adults
Captain Brody was awesome!!! Commutation great from the beginning. Found the boat, he explained everything, we made the trip out. The water and scenery was beautiful!!! As we were headed out, I felt sick, captain took great care of me immediately! My boys started catching fish quickly! Mr. Bill,the deckhand, was amazing with helping them and keeping the bait on the hooks. He filleted all the fish we caught so quickly. Super fun day! My one recommendation is take Dramamine 2 days before the trip. But we love the experience and crew! Thanks Captain Brody and Mr. Bill. We will see y’all next time. This momma will get the biggest fish next time. lol!

4 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on July 15, 2025 • 4 adults
I took my adult kids lol out on this boat and it was perfect. We caught the most fish we had ever caught and almost landed a huge fish. The crew were very knowledgeable and were right on every catch. The even gave us tips on how to fish that we did not event know. We loved the cabin that was air conditioned to give us a break from the son. :I wish we had left earlier and stayed later. The captain is so much fun and showed so much excitement to have us on board you could tell that he loved what he was doing. The fishing mate had a vast amount of experience and gave us tips which helped us catch more that we would have normally. We are definitely going to do this trip with this team again.

Capt Brody and first mate Bill
5 hour troll and bottom fish on August 17, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
One of the first things that Capt Brody said when we had our pre departure meeting was, we’re best friends on this trip! For me, that speaks volumes! That actually put a smile on my face and I was like fish on! Capt Brody was so engaged with my wife and son along with first mate Bill. First mate Bill made sure you always had bate on your hook. Watching Bill put bate on was super fast. It was a slow start but, Capt Brody said, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish! I love that! I would highly recommend Joyce K fishing Charters.

Fantastic Trip
8 Hour troll and bottom fish on March 28, 2026 • 6 adults
We went out in foul weather conditions, but Captain Brody and his first mate still put us on the fish. Caught over 10 different species of fish, including a black seabass, that almost made the state record. We limited out on mengos. Caught and released some large red snappers, over 20 pounds. If you were going to take a charter, this is definitely the one to take.

WOW! Tip to tail fish and Sharks!
5 hour troll and bottom fish on October 16, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children
You will not be disappointed taking a trip with Captain Brody! Our 5 hour excursion flew by! He got us in Bonito's as we trolled out for some bottom fishing. Surprisingly difficult to real up those fish!
We all caught fish trolling, even my 6 year old got to reel some. Bottom bouncing was non stop action. White snapper, Vermillion snapper, rock fish, trigger fish and many others!
The finale was a shark double. My wife and I both had on 10 foot plus sharks that both made it to the boat. Like bull shark for the wife that we got to see for a brief minute before it bit the line and a nurse shark for me. We got pictures and a video of this fight from Captain Brody.
Deck hand Bill was a huge help keeping us fishing and helping get the sharks to the boat.
If you have time, book a day out with with Joyce K. Charters. You won't regret it.
