Kingfisher Charters offers a trip tailored to anyone's interests!

Some popular species that we target are Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Blacktip Shark, Cobia, Tripletail, Whiting, and several others.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own.

Capt. Daniel will bring you aboard a 24' Sea Ox center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Every effort will be made to have live bait available. Wade fishing gear will also be included for wading trips.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time!

Want to just take a boat ride or spend a day on the beaches of our barrier islands? We can make that happen too!

It's never a bad idea to bring sleeves, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask Capt. Daniel!

Now, come aboard with Kingfisher Charters and get hooked!

    Daniel put us on quality fish immediately. I was thoroughly impressed. We caught several species of fish. His boat is clean and he worked with my youngest son. We caught so many fish it was a great time. Highly recommend and we will use him exclusively when we visit Gulfport, Biloxi area.
