Enjoy your fishing trip with Chapman's Charters aboard a 20' Cape Horn center console, which comes powered by a 225 HP Yamaha engine. Originally built in 1994, the boat was restored in 2017 and has a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots.
Its navigational electronics include a GPS, a VHF radio, and a fishfinder. The vessel is fitted with an anchoring system to make sure you stay rooted to the fishing grounds, as well as an ice-box to keep the catch fresh during the day. There is enough space for up to four guests to enjoy their adventure in style and comfort. If you want to bring your kids, please note that they have to be at least five years old.
On your day out with Captain Michael and his Chapman's Charters, you can go bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, or simply go snorkeling in the bay. The Captain is very familiar with the methods that work best to catch Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Grouper, King Mackerel, Red Snapper, Wahoo, Mangrove Snapper… and the list just keeps going!
A trip with Chapman's Charters comes inclusive with rods, reels, tackle, and live bait, as well as the licenses for you and your group. If you decide to keep the catch, it can be cleaned and filleted for you at the end of the trip for a ride home, so that you could have it for dinner later or just fill the freezer. You will also be offered drinks during your fishing adventure.
Whether it's your first time on the water or you are a professional fisherman, Chapman's Charters will make sure you have a productive and fun time on the water. Book now and fish on!

Mike and Carson were amazing, took good care of us throughout the trip. Worked hard all day to keep trying to get us on fish. Very experienced and very easy to get along with. Highly recommend!
Captain Mike was amazing he was super helpful and took us to a few different spots! We were able to catch some fish even with it being super early in the season!
Captain Mike was fun to work with. Caught several different species and visited and had a great day on the water.
Had a great time fishing with Captain Mike. Seas were rough going out and back, but one of my kids would have paid for the boat ride alone. Caught a few fish. Enough for a few dinners. Everyone hauled in a nice fish. We will book him again when we are down this way. Thanks for the great day.
I'm glad you guys out a good time come see us again
Had a wonderful time and experience fishing with Captain Mike and 1st mate Wesley. They got as excited as we did every time a rod tip bent to the water. I had two 16 year olds out for their first time, and Captain Mike explained everything to them, helped us all, and made us feel so welcome to be on his boat. We had fish on the grill that night that he cleaned for us! We will definitely make this at least a yearly event!
I had a great time too guys! come see us again,,, Captain Mike Chapman

Your captain
Port St. Joe, Florida, United States
I am a second generation captain. I grew up commercial fishing the central and northern California coast. In the early 2000's, I moved to the south to run crew boats in the Louisiana oil industry, which I did for ten years. I have operated boats, fished in three oceans and have a lifetime of experience on the sea.
