Lost Bay Charters operates out of Perdido Key offering the area’s only “Catch Fish Guarantee”. From shallow flats to offshore depths, if you don’t manage to catch a fish, your next trip will be free – that is how confident Captain Bill is that each trip he runs will be a success!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 24’ Skeeter center console which was built in 2015, and can comfortably carry up to 6 guests. The vessel makes for a very versatile fishing platform, able to fish habitats ranging from shallow flats and backcountry, all the way out to offshore reefs and pelagic waters.

The boat comes equipped with everything you’ll need for your trip, including the latest electronics and navigational equipment to track down the best spots. There’s a silent and stealthy trolling motor to sneak up on even the spookiest fish, and a livewell bursting with fresh live bait that nothing in the water will be able to resist.

What you target on your trip with Lost Bay Charters is entirely up to you, with inshore and offshore trip options at a variety of lengths. Inshore charters will see you targeting Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Snapper, and Sheepshead. Those heading offshore will have a chance at bagging anything from Grouper, Snapper, and Triggerfish, to King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and even Sharks!

What really sets the crew apart from the rest is their “Catch Fish Guarantee”. It is impossible to go wrong with an experienced captain who is willing to stake his pay and his reputation on you catching fish every single time. Couple that with an awesome boat, world-class gear, and some of the best fishing grounds in the Gulf, and you have the recipe for a truly unforgettable fishing experience.

The fleet consists of four Captains – Capt. Bill, Capt. Noah, Capt Gavin and Capt. Clay. They all have a lot of knowledge and experience to share with you, so make sure to book Lost Bay Charters today for a trip of a lifetime!

    During this charter you will target a variety of sharks and could still catch other species as well. Due to sharks being so full of teeth and energy they have a higher than average chance of breaking your line. On this trip we will honor our "Catch fish Guarantee" if you do not catch fish during the trip but we do not guarantee sharks will be caught even though odds are extremely high.
