Bottoms Up Fishing Excursions invites you for a fun and relaxing trip on the waters of Holiday, Florida. This charter is for those who want to have fun and relax, and for families with kids. Captain Carlos, who owns and runs the charter, loves taking kids out and teaching them how to fish properly by explaining the fish, the techniques, and how to reel your catch in.
Captain Carlos operates a 30-foot Baha offshore sport fishing boat, originally built in 1985, and restored in 2015. This beauty is powered by two 300 HP Suzuki engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots. The speed makes it ideal for nearshore and offshore adventures so you can relax and enjoy the ride, too, as it will be a comfortable one.
The boat has an XM radio if you want a soundtrack to your trip, and is fully equipped with all the fishing gear needed to make the trip a success. It also features a full bathroom, safety equipment such as life jackets, and electronics that will help you locate the most productive fishing spots.
Bottoms Up Fishing Excursions will take you up to 80 miles offshore in search of the big Groupers, Snappers, Cobia, King Mackerel and more. Florida is incredibly rich in bottom-feeding fish, so, if you stay a little closer to the shore, you will also target Mangrove Snapper, Black Seabass, Sheepshead, and more.
Captain Carlos will provide individual service for everyone on the boat. All of his customers are treated like fishermen and fisherwomen. Families and children are welcomed and encouraged to come and spend a day or just a few hours with him. You will experience catching a multitude of species on a day that you'll remember forever!

Mitchell Palmer5.0VerifiedNewAwesome family trip!
Family Special on November 9, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe did the 3hr family special, and special does not do it justice. Carlos and Jeremy were AMAZING with all of us, including our 5 and 10 year old. They were incredibly patient with both of them, even the 5 year old who asks a million questions. The 10 year old didnt want to leave. We WILL do this again when we are back in the area. Caught tons of fish in the 2 or so hours we were fishing, including a shark to end the day!
Suzy LugoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewHad a great time
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 16, 2026 • 4 adultsHad a really great time. The trip was booked so my 90yr old father in law could catch some fish and that is exactly what he did. Both Captain Carlos and Captain Jeremy were amazing. Put us on fish throughout the entire trip and were attentive and helpful to the old man , lol. would definitely recommend them and will be booking another trip with them

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 5, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Carlos and crew were fantastic! Took us to some great spots and kept us on the fish the whole time, we both enjoyed a relaxed but action packed day of fishing, felt like fishing with old friends. We will definitely be back and plan on a longer trip to deeper water for more fish.

Family Special on April 2, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Carlos and his first mate Jeremy were exceptional. They are experienced professionals. We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful day, with great tunes playing in the background, we had a blast learning how to fish the ocean. Jeremy was phenomenal and super cool. The Captain rocked the best music.
