If you're here to make the most of fishing in Apalachicola, look no further than SGI Saltwater Charters. With Captain Kevin at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Black Drum, Flounder, Black Grouper, Pompano, Redfish, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Tripletail, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself!

On these trips, it's common to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll find yourself aboard a 22' Crestliner Fish Hawk that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with SGI Saltwater Charters!

4 Hour Bay Trip AM on August 7, 20251 adult2 children
Booked this trip for dad and two boys, 9 and 13. The kids had a blast and the boys couldn’t be happier. Captain Cole was amazing and the boys are still talking about the fish (spotted trout, redfish, sea trout) and the black tip shark they caught. Captain Cole hooked us up with someone to clean the fish and we even had extra fish to freeze and take home. We are so glad we booked this trip and would recommend to anyone who wants an activity with their kiddos.

4 Hour Bay Trip - 12:30 PM on July 30, 20254 adults
My wife booked this trip fishing for me and our boys and I have to say it was nothing short of amazing. We caught so many fish we couldn’t raise our arms by the end of the charter. Cole should be a legend among fishermen. He knows his job, loves it and it shows. Not to mention barely knew the man but felt like we were fishing with family. Hope to do it again in the future but only if Cole is the Captain. Thanks for a great trip.

A day on the water with a fishing pole in hand is better than any day in the office!

Captain Cole and 1st mate, Fisher, were great to be out on the water with on my Father's Day gift to myself! Fisher was doing a good job baiting hooks and manning the anchor in between outfishing me, but all is good! Great day out on the water and Cole did what he could do to get us on the bite before the storms started to roll into the bay very quickly! I plan on looking them up again the next time I come down. Thanks!
