Private · $2,499
8 Hour
Room to run, reset, and fish a second plan if the first one is not producing.
What this trip is
The practical difference between six hours and eight is not two more hours of the same fishing. It is the margin to change your mind.
Eight hours gives your captain room to run further, and room to abandon a plan that is not working and set up on something else without the day being over. On water where conditions move, that flexibility is often worth more than the extra time itself.
As with all private charters, the target and the departure time are yours to set.
Who it suits
Groups who want the option to reset mid-day rather than commit to one plan.

Other ways to fish this water
Tell your captain what you want out of the day and we build the plan around it. Trophy hunt, cooler fill, first-timers in the family, or a full day offshore chasing whatever is chewing. Departure times get set during planning.
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
We're not satisfied until you're hooked.
Tell us when you want to go and what you want to catch. A captain answers personally, usually the same day.
