Half day trip for a bachelor party

3/4 Day Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM) on March 5, 202311 adults

Man are you kidding this was by far one of the best experiences I’ve ever had we managed to come back with a total of around 82-85 fishes the crew was so friendly with everyone it was amazing not to mention the deck hand he was just going back and forth making sure that everyone was taken care of and he was so fast about everything to it was incredible I highly recommend booking with these guys I give this a 1,000/10 honestly the most fun I’ve had in a while and every single person caught multiple fish I’ve never seen anything like it. I want to thank the crew for such a wonderful experience

Great Experience
6 Hour Trip – Red Snapper on July 18, 2026 • 7 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.

Great trip!
5 Hour Trip – Combo - 7:00 AM on March 24, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 children
We had an amazing time on this fishing charter! We brought 2 adults and 6 kids, and it could not have been a better experience for our family. The boat had a nice inside/covered area which was perfect for the kids to take breaks and stay out of the sun when needed. The crew was incredibly patient, helpful, and made sure every kid had a chance to catch fish and have fun. They were great with families and made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. We made great memories and would highly recommend this charter to anyone, especially families with kids. We will definitely be back!

Cool Change Charters is a must try!!
5 Hour Trip – Combo on July 16, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 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.

Mom’s First Sea Fishing Trip!
5 Hour Trip – Combo on September 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 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!

5 Hour Trip – Combo - 7:00 AM on June 9, 2026 • 7 adults • 1 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.
