Geared for older anglers, we take extra time to ensure your trip is as comfortable as possible. It doesn’t mean we’re gonna slack, though. Whether you are a new angler or an experienced angler, we will get you out to the Pensacola Pass or Destin padd for some nearshore saltwater action. Make an adventure out of your next trip in Navarre and go fishing with Navarre Beach Charters. Your guide for the day is me, Captain JJ, and I look forward to fishing with you.

You're likely to go after Red Snapper, Amberjack, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Redfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more, depending on the season.  Geared for Two anglers

On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one onboard. Also, remember to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your boat for the day is a 22' Bay boat with space for 2 anglers and two spectators. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask me.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Navarre Beach Charters and get hooked!
