Deciding Where the Fish Are Biting
Inshore – For those seeking calm waters and a shorter trip, inshore charters explore the protected bays and coves, an excellent choice for families with children or those new to fishing and boating.
Nearshore – Venture a little further out, and the nearshore zone provides a different experience. This zone transitions from calm bays to open water, attracting a more extensive and comprehensive range of species. Be prepared for slightly choppy waters compared to inshore trips.
Offshore – Adrenaline junkies and experienced anglers, this is your domain. Offshore trips take you far out into deeper waters, a haven for prized catches. You might battle mighty tuna, majestic marlin, or the elusive swordfish here. However, these trips can last longer and encounter rougher seas.
Exploring Special Charters
For those seeking a unique experience, consider specialty charters:
Oyster Tours – Embark on a culinary adventure with an oyster tour. Learn about the local oyster industry as you harvest and savor fresh, briny oysters straight from the source.
Dolphin Tours – Spot playful pods of dolphins frolicking in their natural habitat on a dedicated dolphin tour, which is a fantastic option for nature enthusiasts and families with young children.
Choosing Your Vessel
The size of the charter boat you choose is crucial. Smaller boats (20-30 feet) are ideal for intimate groups or those seeking a more personalized experience. They’re perfect for inshore and nearshore trips. For larger parties or offshore adventures, bigger boats (40-65 feet) provide more space, amenities, and the ability to handle rougher waters.
Finding Your Perfect Day
View available trip dates. When filtering your options, consider factors like the target species, desired duration, and weather conditions. Weekends tend to fill up faster, so booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons.
Whether you dream of reeling in a trophy fish, savoring fresh oysters, or simply enjoying a day on the water surrounded by dolphins, there’s a perfect charter adventure waiting for you.
