Experience the Gulf like never before with husband and wife team Captain Bobby Horn and First Mate Alyssa, a dedicated husband-and-wife team who live and breathe these waters. This isn’t just another charter; it’s an invitation to join a tight-knit crew that works side-by-side every day, combining deep local knowledge with a nonstop effort to put you on the fish. 

From the moment you step on board, you are treated as part of the team. Bobby and Alyssa take immense pride in every catch and drive their business with a genuine love for the sport, ensuring that whether you are a beginner or a veteran, your day is productive, smooth, and full of stories you’ll be telling long after you return to the dock.

You will be fishing aboard a one-of-a-kind 27’ custom-built Ameracat. This catamaran-style center console is specifically designed to fish hard while providing one of the smoothest, driest rides on the Florida coast. Whether we are staying in the backcountry or heading far offshore, this vessel ensures you stay comfortable while we hunt for your next trophy.

Our trips offer something for everyone. On our Offshore Deep Sea excursions, we head out to bottom fish for the Gulf’s finest, including Red and Gag Grouper, Snapper, Hogfish, and Triggerfish, as well as hard-fighting Cobia and Kingfish. For those who prefer the calm of the mangroves, our Inshore Flats and River trips offer high-action fishing for Snook, Redfish, and Trout using both live and artificial bait. If you’re looking for a seasonal treat, we also offer Scalloping Charters where we provide all the gear and even clean your catch for you.

Everything you need is included, from top-tier rods, reels, and tackle to your fishing licenses and bait. We provide a cooler with ice, water, and sunscreen, and we always clean and bag your catch at the end of the day. Crystal River offers the best of Florida’s Gulf Coast, come see it the right way.
