With Paradise Fishing Charters, the world-renowned waters of Pensacola Beach will be all yours. Just think of all the angling opportunities this part of the country has to offer, from inshore and offshore trips to Shark fishing, Flounder gigging, and Cobia hunts – all of this could be yours tomorrow!
Equipped with the finest tackle by Shimano Torium and Penn Spinfisher, you will be checking the bite close to shore or exploring the waters further into the Gulf. You may try your hand at Flounder gigging, trolling, deep sea fishing, or bottom fishing.
The list of your potential catches will include Vermillion and Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Cobia, Triggerfish, Jacks, Grouper, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Speckled Trout… and the list just keeps going!
All of that magic takes place aboard a 24’ Hydra-Sports center console, which has plenty of space for up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style. The boat comes powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and can cruise at an incredible 40 knots. It comes rigged with top-notch electronics, advanced technologies, and quality equipment to make a great catch possible.
Paradise Fishing Charters is a family-friendly company that caters to anglers of all skill levels and expertise. Capt. Justin is a native angler with over two decades of fishing experience. His personal repertoire includes the waters as far as Alaska!
All you have to do is find a trip that suits your needs, bring your snacks and drinks, and hop onboard for the adventure of a lifetime.
Please note that gratuity is customary and highly appreciated.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 3, 2025
Went out with my son in the bay and caught several different species of fish! Red snapper, Spanish Mackerel, flounder, lane snapper, squirrel fish, toad fish hooked into a shark that ran with the line 100 yards before he straightened the 2 treble hooks! We have already planned a 2nd day of fishing with Captain Justin and are very excited to see what he has up his sleeve next!

5 Hour Trip – Gulf Fishing (PM) on June 27, 2025
Captain Justin made sure my son and I had a great day on the water. We caught bait, caught fish, and made some good memories. He even cleaned the fish for us and packed them on ice so we could take them home.

Capt. Justin always knows where to put you on the fish. My wife and my son’s friend got their first Mahi. Great memories that will last a lifetime. Can’t wait to fish with Capt. Justin in the future.

Justin was by far one of the best guides we have been fishing with. His customer service and attention to detail was great, he went as far as to pick us up on the beach at our tv park. Let’s call it beach side service. And we caught a mess of fish we will be booking with him again for more trips!!!

My background comes from commercial fishing. I am what you would call a local yokel (native) to the Gulf breeze area even though I didn't get to live on the water. My father definitely raised me on the water – I spent most of my summers on the back of a commercial fishing boat. That was my summer camp for 15 years! Then, I found myself on a charter boat as a deckhand and decided that I could make a better future for my family and myself by putting more effort into the charter fishing business.
