Scotty J's Charters LLC

Get down to Gulfport, Florida, and embark on a offshore fishing adventure with Scotty J’s Charters, a veteran-owned and family-operated company that is Federally Permitted for the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Launching out of Gulfport Municipal Marina, their location gives them quick and easy access to the prime fishing waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Out on the water daily, they keep a finger on the pulse and are always up to date on fishing conditions.

You’ll be riding out into the Florida sun on a 2022, 30’ Sea Hunt Gamefish center console with room for up to 6 passengers. Onboard the boat you’ll find an up-to-date Garmin fish finder with twin screens, a chart plotter, radar equipment, 3 live bait wells, and iceboxes to keep your beverages chilled. There’s also a flushable private toilet on board.

Depending on the season and length of your trip, you will fish for King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Cobia, both Red and Gag Grouper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, American Red Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, occasional Dolphin (Mahi) or Wahoo, and much more. Depending on the species, this will be done by either slow trolling, drifting, or anchoring over wrecks with their On-Spot GPS anchor, using live, dead, or artificial bait.

All fishing equipment, tackle, bait, catch cleaning, and your fishing license are included in the price of your trip. Just remember to take some food and drinks along with you.

Scotty J’s Charters promises you a clean vessel, well-maintained equipment, and a fun day on the water! If you have a special request, do not hesitate to ask, if able, the captain will gladly accommodate you. So come out and enjoy the sunshine on the deck or some shade under the large T-top with misters and go catch some fish.

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I am a veteran and former paramedic. I started fishing piers and breakwaters in Southern California at the age of 8. At the age of 14 I joined the Sea explorers which turned the ocean and fishing into a real passion. At the age of 16, I started working as a deckhand on boats out of Newport Beach California. That is where the dream of being a charter boat captain began. Currently I fish the offshore waters off Anna Maria Island, St Petersburg, and Clearwater Beach.
