Man Overboard Charters specializes in nearshore and offshore fishing on the gulf coast of Florida. Captain Rick Warren is in charge of the whole operation, and you will find that he is a very passionate fisherman who will do his best to make sure you have an amazing time out on the water.

You will be fishing aboard a custom-made 40' Dorado Bluewater that is powered with a 450 HP Turbo Cummins engine. In addition to all the necessary safety equipment, the boat is equipped with the latest navigation equipment Furuno has to offer. Its 13' beam provides plenty of room for up to six potential anglers to fish in comfort.

Depending on what you're looking to catch and how long you'd like to stay on the water, you can choose from several different packages. For those who want to have a fun day out with family or friends, Captain Rick will make sure you catch a variety of fish and have fun doing it. Experienced anglers looking to catch very big fish should look no further than the big game fishing packages, where you can go after Kingfish, huge Goliath Grouper, Barracuda, and more besides.

The price of a trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as all the necessary fishing licenses and tips/gratuity for the mate. After the trip, the crew will clean and fillet anything you catch so you don't have to. It's a good idea to bring along a pair of polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and a towel, as well as some drinks and snacks if you're so inclined.

Nonstop Action — 32 Fish in 4 Hours with Captain Rick!”
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore on March 3, 20265 adults
We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Rick and his first mate! In just 4 hours we caught 32 fish, and it was a great variety. The action was nonstop — we were catching fish so quickly that the crew barely had time to rebait the hooks before another one was on. Captain Rick and his first mate were fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and worked incredibly hard to keep us on the fish. Everything was smooth, organized, and fun from start to finish. This was hands down the best fishing charter we’ve taken, and we would absolutely recommend Captain Rick to anyone looking for a great day on the water. We’ll definitely be back!

Awesome boat. great captain Rick and deckhand, Bryan. We had an absolutely blast. They were very hands-on with helping us reel in fish. I even had so much fun not giving up, that I pulled my arm/shoulder muscle from reeling. Totally worth it! Thanks for the good memories.
