If you've made it here, welcome — you've officially reached The Final Level. This isn't just another fishing trip; it's a fully customizable adventure tailored to your style, your pace, and your goals. Whether you're picking up a rod for the first time or you've already lost count of your personal bests, we're ready to meet you where you are and take your fishing game to the next level.

While it might be tempting to fill the cooler, we invite you to think bigger — literally. Our catch-and-release trips are designed for anglers who want to chase giants. These are the kinds of fish that test your skill, adrenaline, and patience — and when you finally land one, it's not just a catch… it's a story, a memory, maybe even a future mount that your grandkids will hear about for years to come.

At The Final Level, we believe in quality over quantity. This is where passion meets purpose, where every cast counts, and where the next hookup might just be the fish of a lifetime.

4 Hour Trip – Flounder Fishing - 7:00 AM on July 21, 20262 adults1 child

Caught several species including speckled trout, mangrove snapper, bull red and a small jack fish. Our boy caught a huge bull red and will be talking about it for weeks. Marty was a great captain. Straight forward and very informative. Easy guy to be around, great for families like us or a trip with your buddies. Water was pretty choppy from higher winds since we had some storms approaching later in the day but Marty had us feeling like it was just another day on the boat, nothing worrisome about it.

Don’t second guess, book with Captain Marty!!
6 Hour Trip – Trophy Trout on July 18, 20264 adults

This was our first trip ever and it did not disappoint! Captain Marty was thebbest choice we could have made. He was upfront and honest about the challenges we had to face with the busy day with boats and also the very little bait that he could find, was out trolling since 3-4am he said. He hunted for the best fish and our son caught 4 nice triple tails, one being something to brag about and our daughter caught a catfish. We will always book with Captain Marty

Choose Marty!!! Great trip!
6 Hour Trip – Trophy Trout on February 11, 20262 adults

Marty is a phenomenal captain. He is extremely knowledgeable and instructive. We werent having much luck on the first few spots and he remained adamant on getting fish found and caught. We caught dozens of fish. 8 - 20 pound Red Snappers, a 3’ Redfish, a large Sheepshead, and countless smaller fish that were great for eating. Already have my primetime deep sea fishing in the early summer scheduled with Marty to get that Marlin or Tuna. He is someone I will continue to use. I encourage you to as well! You’ll gain a friend and a new/stronger passion if you do! Congrats Marty, I’m hooked.

Caught us a big one!
4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 18, 20262 adults

What a great way to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! Seriously wanted to book again for next day! All around great trip, loved every moment from catching our own bait, to watching dolphins right next to us, and the best part was the monster 4+ foot King Mackerel! Captain absolutely knows how to get you on the fish and get them in the boat! Overall great experience. Don’t think about booking with him..book it! No regrets!

Red Snapper

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Being a native to the gulf coast its no surprise that Im a 3rd generation captain. My family has made a living on the waters for close to 100 yrs. Commercial fishing first then the charter fishing industry. I started off as a youngster on the back of various commercial fishing boats . Shrimp boats were my favorite plus the most difficult. Since shrimping only took place at night.We slept during the day.When everyone else was asleep . Id sneak out back and catch fish using handlines and bent nails made into hooks. Play fishing was kinda frowned upon but I could not resist. I could not get enough.As a kid I was left at the waters edge many times . Our parents would go offshore or to other jobs leaving us to tend to ourselves. The water was pretty much our babysitter. My uncles made casting nets so naturally,thats what we got for christmas or birthdays. We spent hrs wading through the water catching all sorts of fish . Sometimes we would be picked up with dinner and sometimes we would trade n barter our catches. Did this all summer and after school . sometimes even playing hooky. riding our bikes to the water once our parents left for work. This only happened a few times before our parents caught wind of our fishy clothes lol. It wasnt until after High school that I found myself fully committed to the fishing industry. Acquiring my license at 19. Its been a full on adventure ever since. Sharing my passion with thousands of ppl from all over the world. Thank you all
