Half the running time, all of the bite. We work the ledges and hard bottom inside the shelf for hogfish, snapper and whatever else is stacked up on the numbers that week. The night trip is the sleeper on this list.

We are not just any charter. We're a specialized team of experienced captains focused on deep-sea trips in search of that once-in-a-lifetime catch.

This is what we built the program around. Long runs west to the Middle Grounds and beyond, federally permitted red snapper, deep drop rigs in a few hundred feet of water, and overnights when the fish are worth the hours.
The long haul. Prime pelagic and grouper territory.

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.
Your ride
No matter which charter you choose, you'll be riding in style with room for everyone to fish once we shut down.


What to expect
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
Tell us when you want to go and what you want to catch. A captain answers personally, usually the same day.
