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!

Full Day Trip on December 23, 20256 adults
Kids and mom went to Demitris with some of the fish. Laughed telling stories of the day. They had a wonderful time and caught mega fish. Highlight of their vacation. Kirk states: 'Next time let's venture further. My most fun was watching my kids have so much fun and they learned a lot also. We will never look further for a day fishing except with Bottoms UP, you and your mate"

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 5, 20262 adults
Captain 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.

Freaking Awesome Day!
6 Hour Coral Bottom Fishing Trip on February 25, 20262 adults
After 6 hours of fishing we caught the maximum limit of sheepshead before heading back in. Both Captain Carlos and Captain Jeremy were very helpful and assisted us whenever we needed to reset our hooks or snagged on a rock. Great time, great fishing, and great vibes. Highly recommend to anyone looking to do saltwater fishing.

Great for beginner fishermen.
Family Special on April 2, 20262 adults
Captain 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.
