Brothers Captain Corey spent the majority of his childhood fishing with his father and brother. Corey decided in 2001 to take his passion to profession, and became a Licensed Charter Boat Captain. 'Doubled Up' quickly became one of the most highly sought after fishing charters along the Northern Gulf Coast. Soon after establishing himself as a skilled captain and becoming very busy, Corey realized he needed to expand his business, and who else would be a better fit than his little brother, with whom he had enjoyed success on the Redfish tournament trails they had fished together.

    One of the best fishing trips ever!

    Half day • 4 adults

    We had an absolute blast with Doubled-Up Charters and Captain Corey! From the moment we left the dock, the action never stopped. We caught well over 100 fish in a few hours, with around 50 keepers (even though red snapper season wasn't open). We loaded the cooler with tons of Vermilion Snapper (Mingos) and Triggerfish, and caught plenty of Red Snapper that were safely released. We also landed several other species, including Ruby Reds and Suckerfish, which made the day even more exciting. As if the incredible fishing wasn't enough, we were treated to dolphins swimming nearby, pelicans diving around the boat, and beautiful Gulf views all day long. Captain Corey was knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to keep us on the fish from start to finish. If you're looking for an unforgettable offshore fishing trip, I can't recommend Doubled-Up Charters enough. We'll definitely be booking with Captain Corey again!

    Truly the best trip!

    Half day • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing time! Captain Corey could not have been better. He is a realy calm, patient man with a great since of hummor. He is very skilled at what he does. We saw all kind of fish and even got to watch the blue angels soar above our heads. But the best part was, how he help assisted in pulling off my proposal!!!!! We were so happy to have had this experience. One million percent recommended taking a trip. Who knows you may also get the catch of a life time.

    Great trip!

    Half day afternoon trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    This was a great afternoon trip! The captain was able to get us out a little early, which really helped our schedule for the day. He was great with my 7yo son and all his questions. He got us on the fish and kept us moving between hotspots. We’ll definitely be looking to use Double Up again on our future trips. Next time we may even brave the gulf for some bigger targets!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper

    We had a wonderful time and the captain made it special for our 10 yr old son who is just getting into fishing and has a birthday coming up. When we come back to pensacola we will for sure be choosing them again.

    Took the 5 hour morning nearshore trip and we caught around 20 fish. Every target species we wanted we caught large ones of them (king mackerel, red snapper, amberjack) and even caught some others like bonito and triggerfish. Captain Corey is super helpful even for experienced anglers he has all the knowledge and will do his best to put you on to fish.

    From the moment we step aboard Captain Corey engaged the kids and had them excited (2 girls aged 8 and 7). after a short ride to the fishing grounds it was non stop action catching multiple species. After finding enough of the target species (the pink ones) the girls loved that we headed in. but the show didnt stop there while filleting the fish They were able to meet some friendly pelicans and hand feed them. Captain Corey delivered the exzact trip we where looking for.

    We booked this trip after seeing Corey's reviews. They did not lie. Corey was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We brought 3x kids and 3x adults, plenty of room and gear. He put us right on the fish. we caught mingo, snapper, lane snapper, trigger fish, and some pins. Corey cleaned up our fish and made sure we were happy! Thank you Captain! We will be booking with you every year!

What's biting with Doubled Up Charters in Pensacola Beach

Warm water species move on as the first cold fronts begin to arrive. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing! All the talk in town is about Flounder, which is migrating in large numbers out to the Gulf. You won't go hungry!
