Old Town Charters offers tailor-made trips that will satisfy any angler’s needs, regardless of age or skill level. And if you are looking to butt heads with some world-famous fish, we offer several different trips.
When fishing inshore, you’ll go for a medium-action rod with a spinning reel, perfect for hooking redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, black drum, and King Mackerel. Offshore, you’ll chase Red Snapper, Amberjack, Cobia, Barracuda, and many other species around the local reefs and wrecks.
Old Town Charters includes all the necessary fishing equipment that will make an outstanding catch possible: rods, reels, tackle, lures, live bait, and a fishing license for your group. You can also have your catch cleaned and prepared to take home with you for a small additional fee, or take it to a local restaurant and have it cooked.

Captain's Choice (AM)
Captain Keith contacted me days before our trip to see if we could be flexible. He had been monitoring the conditions days out and realized our scheduled trip was going to be under suboptimal conditions. Unfortunately, our itinerary couldn't accommodate a shift in dates, but Captain Keith still made it work. When large swells prevented us from going further into the gulf, he brought us near the shore, and within minutes we were pulling up snapper faster than he could re-bait the hooks. Captain Keith was great with my 12-year-old son, and taught him a lot about the area, species, and techniques. If you schedule the Captain's Choice, he will get you on fish.

Keith made sure we had the most incredible time. He was kind, patient, and passionate. You can tell he loves to fish and loves to share that experience with people. We took our son out for the first time at 14 on the open ocean. He answered any and all questions and tried to pack as much in as he could in 4 hours. We caught fish to eat, fish so big to tell stories about and he even tried to help my son catch a shark. We will for sure be back. Anyone who is looking to have an unforgettable day making memories so definitely go with Keith. Anytime we are in PCB we will be back for sure. It’s worth every penny and then some just to see our sons face after.

I was a little nervous about how it would go, it was my first time fishing on a charter, never met Captain Keith and was taking my wife. I shouldnt have worried, it was terrific. Captain Keith told us where to meet him-easy. He picked us up and gave us a tour as we left the marina and headed to the fishing location(s). He put us on fish right away and we caught the heck out if them. After a while, he moved locations so we could catch bigger fish, and that went great too. We caught groupers until we had sore hands and blisters. It was so much fun. Captain Keith is a joy to be around and took care of everything. i cant wait to cone back and go fishing with him again.

We really enjoyed our trip out with Keith and Old Town Charters. It was an excellent morning on the water. The Captain got us right on top of the fish and we constantly kept him busy unhooking the fish and re-baiting the lines.I totally lost count of how many red grouper we caught but we caught red snapper and trigger fish as well. Keith was extremely knowledgeable, cheery and ready to fish. Keith is a Navy veteran with whom I probably crossed paths with during my tour in Pensacola. It was a wonderful, all-around experience. Highly recommend Old Town. Most of all, my son celebrated his 21st birthday doing what he loves.

Today was mine and my husband’s first time on a charter and Captain Keith did not disappoint! Total my husband and me caught over 10 fish but I caught more! Lol We did a 4 hour Captain’s Choice trip. This was my first time catching any fish in my life so it was really exciting and I’ve been fishing plenty of times. I caught a Red Snapper and Red Grouper just like I wanted and a shark but he was a big one and got off last minute! We also caught Triggerfish and Bonita fish. He took us bottom fishing and trolling. Hands down will book with Keith again when we come back and it won’t be if but when! He was down to earth felt like a friend we had known for years. Put us at ease and he really has a talent for fishing. Book with Keith you won’t regret it!
