Mom’s First Sea Fishing Trip!

5 Hour Trip – Combo6 adults1 child

Had a great time with Capt. Joe, his wife Cindy, and Deckhand Adam! Didn’t get on any snapper, but still caught a nice load of fish. My mom was excited as she hauled in a large Spanish Mackerel right off the bat. It was a great family outing, as the seas were calm and the cabin was nice and cool. Would definitely recommend this charter!

    Great Experience

    6 Hour Trip – Red Snapper7 adults

    We had an amazing time on the 3/4 Day Red Snapper trip with Cool Change Charters on July 18th. The entire crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional from start to finish. What really stood out was how patient and helpful they were with our young kids. They went above and beyond to accommodate their experience level, made sure they were comfortable, and worked hard to get them on fish. Watching the kids catch fish and have such a great time made the trip unforgettable. We caught a great variety of fish, including Red Snapper, Mingos, and Mackerel, and the crew was always willing to answer questions and share their expertise throughout the day. If you're looking for a family-friendly charter with a professional crew that genuinely wants everyone to have a great experience, I highly recommend Cool Change Charters. We'd absolutely fish with them again.

    Cool Change Charters is a must try!!

    5 Hour Trip – Combo6 adults2 children

    we had a great time on our 5 hour trip with Captain Joe, Adam, and Louis!! The time out on the water was exactly what we wanted and we appreciated Joe and the crew doing everything they could to get us on the fish and help us have a great trip. we caught a ton of spanish mackrel and a few red snapper. the crew were all great with my 11 and 6 year old daughters who now won’t stop asking about when they can go out again. i would highly recommend Cool Change Charters, you’ll be glad you did.

    first timers

    5 Hour Trip – Combo - 7:00 AM7 adults1 child

    this was the first time any of us fished in the gulf. much less on a charter. the deck hand adam very respectful even got a few fish on line for my grandson to reel in. we caught our limit on red snapper and caught a couple king mackerel along with some Spanish mackerel. it was a great day. my only complant is it wasnt long enough, but that is no fault of theres we got exactly what we paid for and more. my hats off to cool change . Hopefully i can book another if we come back.

    Great family experience - 5hr trip offshore

    5 Hour Trip – Combo - 7:00 AM4 adults2 children

    Cap. Joe and mate Adam were great. Adam work diligently to always have a fish on all of our lines, even though we would lose it the minute they went in the water. The boat was nice to have air conditioning to get out of the hot weather. Both captain and Adam worked hard to take us to many spots to try to catch many fish. It was a very fun and memorable day in the Gulf and I feel very fortunate that I picked this outfitter.
