Charters is located on the waters of Port Saint Joe, Florida. Run and operated by Captain Pete, they invite you for a ride to land you on the fish of your dream. With Captain Pete the possibilities are endless!
You will be sailing aboard a 27’ Pro-Line boat, powered by a 250 HP Honda outboard engine. The boat has a maximum speed of 40 knots and is rigged with top-notch navigation gear, as well as an anchoring system for a smooth ride, an ice-box, and a live bait tank. What is more, there is a private head on board the vessel for maximum comfort.
Bounty Of The Bay Charters can customize each trip to your needs and desires. If you just want to check what is biting, then the half-day trip is just what you need. You can choose between fishing inshore or flats, going for Flounder, Redfish, Trout or King Mackerel, Black Drum, Mahi Mahi, Spanish Mackerel, and some more. The six-hour trip will see you sailing up to 9 miles, and the offshore package can get your hands full on Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Cobia, Almaco Jack… the list just keeps going! Your targeted species will depend on the season and what is biting best.
Captain Pete uses a great variety of fishing techniques, including light tackle, heavy tackle, spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, and many more.
Your trip with Bounty Bay PSJ Charters will include fishing rods, reels, live bait, tackle, licenses, and lures. You may want to bring your own food and drinks aboard.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 19, 2024
Trip was as good as it could be. Capt Pete safely dodged pop-up storms for our morning 4 hour near-shore trip. Water was very warm, and fish were not biting. After an hour of nothing, he offered to return to the dock - but we chose to keep fishing. We did catch flounder when the tide turned, and had a good time. He fileted them for us. He was good with the family, and answered all our questions. Nice guy. Weather did not cooperate, but when you schedule it months in advance, there's no way of knowing. We would go with Capt Pete again.

3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on April 1, 2025
Captain Pete did an amazing job of getting us right on the fish. We caught our limit of 40 Vermillion Snapper and one Trigger fish. We caught a ton of red snapper and plenty of trigger, flounder and grouper that either weren’t in season or weren’t big enough. We did the off shore trip and couldn’t have asked for better weather. Definitely recommend Captain Pete!

3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on July 25, 2024
I booked this trip for my husband, my dad, my son and oldest daughter. I did my research and booked with someone I thought matched my family well. They can’t stop talking about the amazing time they had, with the nicest most down to earth, knowledgeable caption ever! They limited out on red snapper and also brought home several Spanish and king mackerel. Pete is highly recommended by the Small Family, we hope that this review reaches others doing their research! Thank you Pete I have a very happy bunch!
