Book your next trip with Best Life Charters and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Palmetto for more. With Captain Chris at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, Hogfish, Gag Grouper, Flounder, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time.

On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light tackle.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children under 8, must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll find yourself aboard a 26' Center console with space for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, and Live bait.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. 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.

Your trip with Best Life Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Great experience for the whole family!

Captain Chris was fantastic! We had other plans, and we had to contact Chris about openings the night before we wanted to charter. He was very responsive and was able to accommodate us! We had three young boys, who had an absolute blast. We were able to catch a small shark on out last cast! We would highly recommend!
