The 5 hour afternoon state water trip was great for taking my son! He learned a lot and didn’t get sea sick. So I feel much better about booking a 8 or 10 hour trip. Best way for a youngster to start out offshore. If they do get sick it’s a short ride back to dock and you’re not out a ton of money! But don’t make no mistake thinking you’re going to go catch huge snapper, mahi-mahi, tuna, or grouper. This is a short range state water trip for kingfish, smaller state water snapper, redfish...

I have gone on many fishing trips on all kinds of boats.  Olivia J is definitely one of the best trips I have been on.  We havedine 3 trips with them and all were awesome.  We caught a lot of fish.  The boat is very clean and well kept.  I cannot say enough about how good the Captain and crew are, very friendly,  helpful,  knowledgeable,  and just nice people.  Made it very enjoyable for my 10 year old son and that was the most important thing to me.  He caught several really large fish...

This was by far the best charter I have ever had, even better than the one I took in the Florida keys. Rodney was an amazing captain and got us on the fish fast. After about 10 minutes of him getting the lines in, we had a fish on it. We caught multiple red drums, bonnet head sharks, and a couple black tip sharks. We were catching left and right and had to start releasing them! I would definitely charter with Olivia Charters again and especially with Rodney! Thank you again for an amazing experience!

Arrived eagerly to go out and catch some fish! As we proceed out the gulf, we all could tell not going to be a normal day. Very WINDY with 4-5ft swells. Captain Ethane stopped the boat. Said guys, we ain’t going to make it out much further. Gave us an option of going back or fishing there along the coast for sharks. We chose fishing. Ended up catching multiple sharks. Had a great time and captain was very enjoyable. He turned a trying situation into a lifetime trip! Thank you for that and we... More

I have had several charters but Captain Rodney and Captain Ethan are hands down the greatest experience I have personally had. For starters, only me and my friend had booked the trip several weeks ago and expected others (folks we don’t know) to be on the trip as a shared charter. Unfortunately the others cancelled, but Captain Rodney didn’t even contact us to reschedule or cancel. Instead this man and his son took the time to take two old men from Oklahoma out on the water and try to put... More
