This wheelchair accessible vessel has creature comforts of home on board such as a bed, a kitchen, and a full bathroom with a toilet. She also has enough room to sleep up to 6 people comfortably.

You and your guests will be supplied with top notch rods, reels, tackle, and lures on your trip with The Gaff Charters. Fresh bait is also supplied. On your day out with The Gaff Charters, you will always have a pole ready to land the big ones. The trips are four to twelve hours, so any angler could find a suitable package. Whether you want to spend your day trolling and bottom fishing nearshore or head further offshore, fish the wrecks and reefs – the Captain will accommodate your every need.

Your targeted species include Amberjack, Grouper, Porgy, Sharks, Tuna, Bonito, King Mackerel, Red Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, and Triggerfish, and more depending on the season and what’s biting.

First Time!
Gaff Charters was amazing! It was mine and my husband’s first time deep sea fishing and we had no idea what to expect. Captain Brandon and Scott took us out and really made the trip worth it. It was the highlight of our vacation to PCB and can’t wait to do it again! Scheduling was quick and simple, the fishing trip itself was great, we caught lots of fish, the guys were fun and very knowledgeable, and they even assisted with getting our fish to a local fish market so we could take them home. It was an all around terrific experience and I highly recommend them!
