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 30’ Pacemaker Sportfish that has been refit with a 210 HP Caterpillar engine. In addition to all the necessary safety equipment, the boat is equipped with the latest navigation equipment Simrad has to offer. Its 11’ 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. 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.
