Anglers of all skill levels and ages will appreciate the first-class equipment provided on Captain Phil Cox's charter trips, as well as Phil's detailed knowledge of the area and the fish.
You will be fishing aboard a spacious 24 1/2 foot Blue Wave boat ideally suited for inshore fishing in the local area.

Everything is provided in the trip price, including your fishing license and cleaning of your catch at the end of the trip. Capt. Phil also offers scenic cruises in the bay, and to the tip of the cape, as well as cooling snorkeling trips, or scallop trips in season.

I caught some fish. They were not biting to good. But overall if I get to come back to Port ST. Joe and go fishing again I will be sure to go with Captain Phil. He is very professional and knows where the fish are.
Thanks Ralph! Im sorry the thunderstorm cut our morning short. i look forward to fishing with you again.
Phil is a fantastic charter captain, experienced, and fun to fish with. If you’re looking for a fishing day on the water, you can’t go wrong here. Fish On!l
Today was like fishing with an old friend. I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon. Fish on Tom!
While we only were able to keep two mangrove snappers, we were able to catch a lot of fish. Due to the red tide in the bay, a lot of the larger fish fled to healthier waters. Capt Phil made the most of our trip and we tried in numerous spots. He made the experience fun for my son and myself despite the lack of large fish.
Thanks Stephen! I owe you two some fish….cant wait till next time!
Phil was fantastic. We caught our limit on Red Fish on a challenging, windy day. Phil was very encouraging with our younger fisherman. We had a blast!
I had so much fun with you great family today. Thank you for sharing some of your family vacation time with me!
Captain Phil was the best. He went ovwr and above to give us the beat chance to catch fish. Will definitely be doing this again!
Thank you for bringing your crew out to fish today! It was such a pleasure having them on board.
