Dailey Charters invites you on an unforgettable fishing trip in the abundant waters surrounding Long Beach, Mississippi. Whether you're looking for an inshore light tackle experience or an offshore battle with big fish, Captain Chris will accommodate your needs!

Hop aboard his 24' Mako center console, powered by a 325 HP Vortec multi-port injected engine. This vessel gets you to your desired destination fast and comes fully equipped with the latest in navigational electronics including GPS and Fishfinder.

She also features a wide T-top for shade, a multimedia system for entertainment, a live well for your bait, and an icebox to keep your catch fresh. This is a child-friendly operation and parents are encouraged to bring along their little ones!

Whether it's tasty or hard-to-catch fish you're after, there's something for everyone aboard Dailey Charters. Stay closer to shore and you'll hook into the likes of Jack Crevalle, Redfish, and Trout. You can even battle it out with hard-fighting Sharks!

If you opt to head deeper it's all about hooking in speedy Cobia and King Mackerel. You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to get your hands on delicious Red Snapper during the open season either!

The captain provides all the fishing gear you need, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. At the end of the trip, the crew is happy to clean and fillet your catch for you. They work hard to make sure you have a good time and tips are greatly appreciated.

Experience all that Mississipi's waters have to offer with Dailey Charters!

Great fishing trip
6 Hour Trip on June 7, 20261 adult

Captain Chris was very good with communication. He reached out several times before the scheduled trip. Weather was an issue and he wanted the best experience for me. He suggested delaying the trip one day for the water to calm. The boat was stocked with everything needed. The crewman (Dustin) went out of his way to make fishing pleasant. Gulfport had recently had tons of rain fall. Captain Chris tried everything to find fish but they just weren’t biting. Certainly not for a lack of effort. Even the other charters struck out. I would like to try again when the weather levels out and would absolutely rebook with Dailey Charters!

Amazing
4 Hour Trip on June 27, 20262 adults1 child

We just finished our fishing trip and it truly was fantastic. They were so kind and patient with our 9 year old. They taught him how to cast, reel, and answered all of our questions. If we ever make our way back to Gulfport, we will 100% be fishing with them again.

Perfect in Every Way
6 Hour Trip on September 26, 20252 adults

We had an incredible time fishing with Dailey Charters in Gulfport, MS. My son and I caught four redfish, two jack crevalle, and two mackerel—plenty of action the whole trip! Captain Chris and deckhand Dustin were outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience a lot of fun. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a successful and memorable outing. Highly recommend Dailey Charters for anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure!

6 Hour Trip on April 17, 20262 adults

My cousin and I had a great time with Dailey charters . The boat and equipment were great . The Captain and his deck hand were really friendly and helpful. The bite was slow but Captain Dailey did his best getting fish on the boat.
