Book your next trip with Surfside Beach Charters and find out what you're missing in Freeport. Captain Kevin Martin will be your guide, giving you access to his 20 plus years of sportfishing experience in this area.

All trips are plus fuel.
Estimated cost 1/2 day: $80.00-$150.00
Estimated cost full day: $150.00-$200.00

Depending on the season, you might hook into Black Drum, Cobia, Bull Redfish, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and who knows what else! On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Captains and crew are extremely family oriented and kid friendly! We have standard coast guard-issue life vests in adult and youth sized. You are welcome to being a ski vest or something that might be more comfortable for your child. Please bring what you want to eat and drink to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Capt. Kevin operates a 32' Glacier Bay center console catamaran with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. All fishing rods, bait and tackle are provided as well as fish cleaning.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Fishing licenses are required. When you book the trip we will send you detailed instructions on what you will need to have. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Surfside Beach Charters.

I asked that we catch some snapper, and that is what we did. Not much else was biting. I booked this trip in advance and the weather and waves were not horrible. Captain Rob did a good job keeping my wife from thinking too much about motion sickness. Overall, very good service from both Captain Kevin and Deckhand Captain Rob.

Cpt. Kevin and Johnny are top notch, great guys and managed to put us on fish on a not so great fishing day. You can’t do better than these guys for an amazing trip. I can’t wait to book my next trip with them.
