Deep Sea · $3,750
Overnight
Fish the evening bite, sleep offshore, and wake up already on them.
What this trip is
The two most productive windows of any offshore day are the last of the light and the first of it. A single-day trip gets you one of them. Staying out gets you both, and skips the running time that would otherwise sit between them.
You fish the evening, the boat holds offshore overnight, and the morning bite starts with you already in position rather than three hours away from it. For anglers who have done day trips and want the next thing, this is it.
It is a longer commitment and a weather-dependent one, so we plan these with more lead time than a day charter.
Who it suits
Serious anglers who want both bites, and do not mind sleeping on the water to get them.

Other ways to fish this water
This is what we built the program around. Long runs west to the Middle Grounds and beyond, federally permitted red snapper, deep drop rigs in a few hundred feet of water, and overnights when the fish are worth the hours.
What to expect
Before you step aboard
The details that make the difference between a good day and a long one.
Water, food, towels and sunscreen. All bait, tackle and equipment is provided by Gulfport Charters. One rule we hold firm on: no spray sunscreen on board.
Full-day offshore charters meet at the marina at 5AM. Custom charter departure times are set with your captain during planning.
Cancellations within 7 days of the trip forfeit the deposit. If we cancel for weather, or the captain calls it for any reason, you are not penalized — pick a makeup date or take a full refund.
Yes. That said, these are long days in the Florida elements. We don't recommend them for young children, elderly adults, or anyone with pre-existing conditions.
Please do. Before your charter you tell your captain what you want to focus on and they build a plan to maximize your time on the water. Or just show up and let us run it.
Dates go fast in season
