Saltwater Therapy Custom Charters can give you the taste of Mississippi Gulf Coast fishing like no other company. This Biloxi fishing charter is your key to explore a myriad of aquatic opportunities available within a short boat ride.

Test the waters close to the shore bottom fishing for White Trout, Ground Mullet, and Black Drum, fish with live bait or wade for Trout, Redfish, and Sheepshead. Head to the Barrier islands to check what's biting there or buzz down the shoreline for Shark, Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, and who knows what else. If you are an experienced angler, go for a night fishing adventure for Specks and Reds. And don't forget about the Red Snapper season!

If non-stop year-round action sounds appealing, step aboard Captain Marcus's 21' Blazer bay boat. This is a well-maintained vessel that comes powered by a 175 HP Suzuki engine. A wireless trolling motor will enable a quiet ride, a live well will be loaded with bait to make your hooks irroestiable, and a multimedia system will help you relax in between the bites. The boat can comfortably take you and up to three fishing buddies.

Captain Marcus stays on the water and on the fish year round. Even the coldest weather can't fool him: Marcus always follows the hottest bites in the bays and rivers even during the winter months.

But if fishing is not your main priority, the captain can take you to the islands to play, swim, and explore. Imagine sipping your favorite drink while cruising along the shoreline, taking in all the beauty of the local waters, enjoying the sights, and having fun with your family! Kids are also welcome to join the adventure, and there's no age limit.

All trips come with a license, high-quality gear, tackle, and bait. The captain will clean and bag your catch when you return to the shore to make sure your weekly dinners are sorted out. Just grab something to eat and drink and welcome on board!

    Capt. McDavid was great, he is very knowledgeable on the bay system and put me and my father on limits of redfish. We would not hesitate recommending him to others. If we find ourselves back we will definitely repeat! Tight lines!

    6 hour trip on 10/10/22

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Islands (AM) on October 10, 2022 • 4 adults

    The trip started off great. First two hours ended with catching a good number of fish for bait and a few to eat for later. The second two hours was excellent. We had to move a lot to find the fish but we were doing great until one of the rods broke for big fish ( only had two). The last two hours was not so good. We only had one rod fishing with all four of us ( I was not fishing at the time anyway). But one of my sons caught the red fish in the picture and made it all worth it. Over all a great time and the captain was a great host. He even cleaned the fish and banged them for us. Thank you.

    2 Hour Tour

    2 Hour Trip (10:00AM) on September 10, 2022 • 2 adults

    We were pressed for time so we booked a 2 hour trip. We opted to pass up the easy fish in search of some bigger fish. We did some spot and stalk fishing around the crab pots and caught a nice triple tail. We also got a nice viewing of some harbour dolphins jumping in our wake. Marcus was knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely got what we asked for.

    2 hour trip, early March trip

    2 Hour Trip (AM) on March 13, 2021 • 4 adults

    Absolutely perfect experience with Captain Marcus.Seamless coordination and execution. Pretty foggy morning, but we were on the water moments after arriving at the marina. After a short ride, we arrived at our first and only location as the Cpt knew right where the fish would be. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip - great conversations, great fishing and learned a few things. Will definitely be back out on the water with Saltwater Therapy later this summer and in the years to come.

    It's a fishing trip

    2 Hour Trip (4:00PM) on August 3, 2022 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We were on fish from the word go. I'm too cheap to pay for the big trip. But we got to see a couple of dolphins and caught some big catfish. Boys had fun that's what mattered. Area was smooth unless boat wake. Looked as if we were having better luck than surrounding boats.

    Two hour trip

    2 Hour Trip (10:00AM) on July 12, 2022 • 3 adults

    We booked a two hour trip, and have to say we caught more then 50 or so fish. It was amazing. Marcus was very pleasant and easy to talk to, and helped out when needed. There isn't enough stars to give to him and was an overall an amazing experience!

    First slam dunk fishing trip ever. We caught 23 fish.

    2 Hour Trip (PM) on March 13, 2021 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Extremely knowledgeable, patient and eager to teach. Oh forgot to mention very organized. Marcus made sure every minute of our time was fun exciting and educational. I'm extremely impressed with the time he put in to teach my little fishermen the art of the patience and reward that comes along with making a great catch. Can't wait to go fishing again😁

    Capt Marcus is a very nice guy that is a pleasure to fish with. His equipment is top notch, and he took great care ensuring my wife and myself had a good day on the water. We ended the morning boating 8 very nice trout. Looking forward to doing it again!

I am a firefighter and run charters on my days off from the fire house. I have been fishing the waters off of the Mississippi coast since i was old enough to hold a fishing pole. I stay on the water and on the fish year round. I fish for just about anything that swims in our waters. I don't just target one or two types of fish like a lot of people. That being said, my specialty is wade fishing the islands for Speckled Trout and Redfish.

    This morning was my first-ever saltwater fishing trip, and it exceeded all my expectations! We stayed busy catching fish, and it made for an unforgettable experience. I'm so glad I booked this charter and would highly recommend Captain Marcus to anyone looking for a great day on the water. Thanks for an amazing trip!

    The fall and early winter is my favorite time of year to fish. The fish are hungry and gorging thierselves for the winter. Redfish are the main targets but there is plenty of other great eating fish caught along with them. The best part is that all the fishing is done within a short ride from the marina. Meaning more time fishing and less time getting to the fishing grounds. Book now to get your spot!! Capt Marcus

    The fish are here and hungry, and the fishing has gotten better and better with every trip I have made lately. Our biggest challenges lately have been the wind and finding live bait. But it hasnt slowed us down. May and June are starting to fill up fast. Its time to get those trips booked while I still have dates available. Come get you some SALTWATER THERAPY!!! Capt Marcus
