Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Book your next trip with Gold Star Fishing Charters and find out what the fishing in the Treasure Coast Area (including Lake Okeechobee) is all about.
Your Captain is a retired 32 year Law Enforcement Officer and USMC veteran. Discounts available for all veterans, spouses and children. Gold Star families no cost whatsoever. God Bless our veterans.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Snook, Jack Crevalle, Jack, Black Grouper, Speckled Trout, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Tarpon, and plenty more. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You'll be casting lines from a 22' Sportsman bay boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, 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, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is not allowed.

4 Hour Trip – Snapper on March 31, 2026 • 2 adultsHad an awesome morning with Captain James. Very professional, honest, friendly, and put us right on the fish. Great gear, clean boat, and a great time.
Mary "cathy" SniderRepeat angler3.3VerifiedExpensive trip without much customer service.
4 Hour Trip – Snapper on June 23, 2026 • 2 adultsHad to go to 3 different piers to find right charter. Lack of communication before charter. Boat captain spent much time on phone tending to other business. I did catch fish, however most were too small or not able to be eaten. Caught 1 yellow taio snapper that was enough for 1 person.
