Tradition Charters is a Pensacola, Florida-based charter operator offering private and shared marine experiences from short dolphin cruises to extended federal and deep-sea fishing trips. Operating two primary vessels — the 48' custom charter boat named “Tradition” and the 37' Topaz called “Fever Reliever” — Tradition Charters provides trips designed for families, avid anglers, and groups.
Trips range in length and format, including a two-hour dolphin cruise, four- and six-hour inshore and offshore charters, eight- and ten-hour offshore options, and twelve-hour federal trips. Vessel amenities vary by boat; the 48' Tradition includes air conditioning and a full bathroom for passenger comfort, while the Fever Reliever features a spacious deck and an air-conditioned cabin. Private charters can accommodate larger groups on the Tradition (up to 25 passengers on select trips), and smaller private trips operate from the Fever Reliever for more intimate parties.
Captain Miles leads many Fever Reliever federal and offshore trips, bringing local knowledge of federal waters and targeted species such as snapper and grouper. For offshore and deep-sea trips, Tradition Charters supplies fishing gear and essential trip provisions as described for each outing. Safety, local expertise, and a focus on customized experiences are central to the operation, with options for catering and entertainment on select charters.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, Tradition Charters serves Pensacola anglers and visitors seeking well-equipped, professionally guided trips that balance comfort with serious fishing and wildlife-watching opportunities.
