What to Expect
This is a great family charter. We’ll depart from the Fort Desoto boat ramp at 8AM and head out up to 15 miles offshore to fish local reefs and ledges. There are a variety of fish species in this area, including Grouper, White Grunt, Hogfish, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, and Spanish Mackerel.
This 5-hour charter is perfect for:
-
Families: Create lasting memories with your loved ones, fostering a sense of adventure and appreciation for nature.
-
Friends: Bond over shared laughter, friendly competition, and the thrill of the catch.
-
Solo adventurers: Seek serenity and challenge on the open water, returning with a renewed sense of accomplishment.
Our 5-hour charter allows new anglers to experience the thrill of offshore fishing for the first time without spending the entire day on the water. This trip goes a few more miles offshore than our 3 and 4 hour trips. The water is a little deeper and the variety of fish is plentiful. You’ll have plenty of time to catch fish, take photos, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
