Proud Pelican Charters LLC is a Gulf Breeze, Florida-based charter operator offering a range of guided fishing trips designed for families, groups, and serious anglers. The company lists five core trips: a 6 Hour Fishing Charter, 8 Hour Fishing Charter, 10 Hour Fishing Charter, 12 Hour Fishing Charter - Deepwater, and a 15 Hour Rigs/Gamefish trip. These trips cover nearshore reefs, offshore trolling grounds, and deepwater areas that reach 3400–5000+ feet.
Trip options target a broad selection of Gulf species specified in the trip summaries, including snapper, grouper, mahi-mahi, amberjack, yellowfin, wahoo, marlin, cobia, and tuna. The 8-hour trip routinely ventures 20–50 miles offshore, while the 10-hour option travels about 60 miles offshore. Longer deepwater trips emphasize gamefish like Yellowfin, Wahoo, and Marlin and typically conclude with late-afternoon snapper and grouper fishing. The 6-hour charter focuses on reef and nearshore species and is presented as family-friendly.
