You’ll be dropping lines from a 30’ Stamas center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don’t forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, no glass bottles.

Jimmy crushed it
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 12, 2025
Jimmy and his mate Nick were awesome. Took care of my family of 5 no problem. Caught plenty of fish, had to throw some back, but we walked away with three big Red Snappers and some smaller variation of snapper. Nick helped my younger daughters get into the action and have some fun as well. Very personable crew that took great care of us. Would use these guys again no question.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on May 7, 2025
We booked a half-day inshore charter during the first week of May. We had a great time and caught fish from start to finish. We caught sea bass, spanish mackerel and a couple of sheepshead. Captain Jimmy could not have been more friendly and helpful and he kept us on fish the entire trip! We definitely recommend this charter!
