Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Black Drum, Cobia, and anything else that bites. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip.

This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Water will be available for you.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute trip of a lifetime!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on May 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    If you are looking to hammer some fish and have an absolute blast doing it, you need to book Gal-O-Mine Charters right now.From the second we stepped on the boat, Captain Jack was the ultimate professional. You can tell right away how much he truly cares about his guests and his craft. He didn’t just drive the boat; he kept us safe, stayed laser-focused on the radar, and put us right on top of the action. His communication and passion are completely top-notch.Down on the deck, his mates Mason and Reed are absolute machines. These boys know how to catch fish, period. They never stopped moving, keeping the lines wet, the bait fresh, and the energy high. When we hit a school and everything went chaotic, Mason and Reed were cool as cucumbers, gaffing fish, resetting lines, and coaching us through every fight. They are fantastic workers who hustle harder than any crew I’ve ever seen.We were absolutely hammering them all day, filling the coolers, and reeling until our arms were sore. It was a masterclass in offshore fishing. Huge thanks to Captain Jack, Mason, and Reed for an unforgettable day on the water. We will absolutely be back! Appreciate you all!! 💪🏻😎

    Good times….

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 23, 2026 • 5 adults

    We battled the elements and won! Even though we got caught in a thunderstorm we ended up catching quite a few Blues and Spanish Mackerel. We even saw lots of Dolphins along the way. Captain Jack was spot on for navigating us to the best fishing spots and our first mate Mason was efficient in every way. They were both very friendly and we enjoyed their company. We had a great time and would highly recommend this duo to anyone that wants to have a fun filled inshore fishing adventure. Thanks for the memories!!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 10:30 AM on April 4, 2026 • 4 adults

    Capt Jack and Jackson provided a great experience for my son and I. well equiped and clean boat - very personable and engaging throughout the trip - and we caught an awesome fish. It was close to shore adventure - it was a a great trip for 2 of us (we will take 4 next time). Capt was responsive and clear as to the game plan. His wife Ashley was even at the dock to take pics when we returned. Fish was cleaned and bagged. We are 100% satisfied. we will be a return charter.

    Fun morning on the water

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    The kids and I booked a last minute charter and we couldn’t have picked a better crew. Captain Jack and mate Mason were outstanding! The fishing was alittle slow but they warned us about that when we arrived. we still caught several spanish mackerel and they even took us out alittle farther to let my kids try for a shark. All around a great experience, great crew, comfortable boat. We will definitely book again when we are back down next year.

    The Best!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 16, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Jack and Mason are the best crew! This is our second trip with them, they work hard to find fish, keep the kids engaged, and make sure everyone is happy. The kids asked them to catch a shark and not only did we catch one, we caught 8! The best morning and my kids already asked to fish with them a third time!

    Had some awesome weather and awesome fishing. Took 3 kids out and caught enough Spanish Mackerel that we got some shark fishing in too and got one in the boat. Even better than the fishing and weather were the Captian and mate with the kids.They did a really good job

Me and my boys!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 3:00 PM on June 5, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

Had an awesome time on this fishing trip! We were out on the water for about four hours, and every one of the six people in our group caught at least four or five fish. We were catching bluefish and Spanish mackerel all day long. Honestly, if we hadn't lost a few while fighting them and trying to get them into the boat, we probably would have landed another 8–10 fish. The captain was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to keep us on the fish. The deckhand Mason was equally amazing, always helping out, keeping lines untangled, and making sure everyone had a great experience. Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, I highly recommend this charter. Everyone in our group had a great time, caught fish, and left with great memories. We'll definitely be back!
