    Limited out on reds then kept the fun going

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Did a half-day trip out of Gulfport with Daley Charters and couldn't have asked for a better morning. Dailey put us on fish fast — we caught our limit of redfish and then switched to catch and release just to keep the rods bending. What stood out was the teamwork. They had a couple of boats running, and the captains were in constant communication, calling out schools so everybody got on the good spots. That kind of coordination is the difference between a slow day and a great one. Easy, professional, and genuinely fun. If you're looking for a charter in the Gulfport area, book with these guys.

    Awesome trip celebrating our friends upcoming wedding!

    6 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    A short notice plan turned into a fantastic fish fry! We booked just a week out and the captain was awesome with all the last minute changes. Once on the water our first Red Drum came quick, getting all of us excited and anxious to catch more. After a short break of hunting down the school of Bull Red Drum, we hit on 4 different rods. After a few more of these hunts, we came back to the marina with 7 monster Red Drum and a solid Black Tip shark. The deck hand quickly and efficiently cleaned the fish for us, sending us on our way with a ton of meat ready for the grill! 100% going to book with Captain Chris again the next time we come to town!

    Best Trip and Captain EVER!!!!

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Our Captain was Captain Daily himself!!! The entire charter crew was amazing right from the start. We left almost immediately. The weather was perfect!!! The Captain was very personable and interested in what we wanted out of our trip. He was so friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. We asked lots of questions about the area and so much more. I wanted to catch RedFish and I wanted to do it myself. He was very patient with me and helped that to happen. Then I really wanted to catch a shark. And we did. We caught big beautiful fish!!! But what was the most impressive was Captains knife skills. He was a wizard!!! We had the beat trip and cant wait to come back again.

    Great fishing trip

    6 Hour Trip • 1 adult

    Captain Chris was very good with communication. He reached out several times before the scheduled trip. Weather was an issue and he wanted the best experience for me. He suggested delaying the trip one day for the water to calm. The boat was stocked with everything needed. The crewman (Dustin) went out of his way to make fishing pleasant. Gulfport had recently had tons of rain fall. Captain Chris tried everything to find fish but they just weren’t biting. Certainly not for a lack of effort. Even the other charters struck out. I would like to try again when the weather levels out and would absolutely rebook with Dailey Charters!

    Great Birthday Trip

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Dailey Charter was the BEST choice ever for a Birthday trip!! We LOVED Dailey. He was very knowledgeable. He knew the fish, the boats, the surrounding islands and shared info on each of them. We were fishing and learning at the same time. My son went fishing with friends on his 13th birthday at the lake, so for his 30th birthday we went out to sea. We caught Spanish Macrel, Crevalle Jacks (huge), and one Gaftopsail Catfish. Best Birthday Fun!!!

    Reported catch:

    Cpt. Chris and 1st mate Dustin knew what to do. Day started slow but they finally found the fish. My 13 yo did most the catching and they wore him out. I would definitely book with Dailey again.

    Captain Chris really went out of his way to show us a good time and put us on fish at our first stop. Daily did a great job of keeping the lines baited and kept us fishing. They know the spots to hit. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back fishing with them again. Not only did they clean and bag the fish for us, they also gave me some good ideas on how to prepare and cook them. Great crew, great boat, and a great time.

    We just finished our fishing trip and it truly was fantastic. They were so kind and patient with our 9 year old. They taught him how to cast, reel, and answered all of our questions. If we ever make our way back to Gulfport, we will 100% be fishing with them again.
