Pensacola Fishing Charters
We run inshore and offshore fishing charters for Pensacola from Southwind Marina, 10121 Sinton Dr, Pensacola FL 32507, about 20–25 minutes from downtown. Trips run from a three-hour half day in the bay to a twelve-hour deep drop.
What we fish for out of Pensacola
Inshore, the bay and back-water trips target redfish, flounder and sheepshead on light tackle. Offshore, we fish structure for red snapper in season, amberjack, triggerfish, vermilion snapper and grouper, with cobia moving through in spring. What we target on your day depends on the season and the weather, and the captain makes that call on the morning. The fishing calendar shows what's open month by month.
Getting to the dock
Southwind Marina is on Sinton Drive, on the Perdido Key side of Pensacola: about 20–25 minutes west of downtown. Park at the marina and your captain meets you at the boat. If you're not sure which trip fits your group, call. Working that out is most of what the call is for.
Before you book
Every trip, rate and boat is listed on the charters page, along with what's included. Your date is held with a $250 deposit; the rest waits for the captain's read of the forecast.
