Chapman’s Charters offers exciting fishing adventures on the waters out of Port Saint Joe, Florida. With a lifetime of experience fishing the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts, the Captain has everything it takes to put all his clients on the fish. If you are looking for the best charter for your next vacation, Chapman’s Charters is the right choice.
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!
