My name is Captain Matt, a native of Pensacola, FL, where I have spent my whole life fishing these waters. With over 11 years experience as a fishing guide and previous time working as a deckhand, I know this area inside and out. We had a fantastic day on the water, catching some sizable snappers and making great memories along the way.

Prepare yourself for an exhilarating five-hour offshore fishing excursion in the vibrant waters of the Gulf off Pensacola. This journey takes you to some of the Gulf's most abundant fishing spots, where wrecks, reefs, and open ocean combine to create an ideal habitat for a diverse array of strong, flavorful fish.
You'll set sail on a 26-foot Twin Vee catamaran powered by twin 150 HP Mercury engines.

Once offshore, you’ll explore a variety of public and private wrecks, coral formations, and rocky reefs, targeting an exciting mix of species. Expect to encounter Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, and Vermillion Snapper, alongside swift predators like King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel. Depending on the season and conditions, you may also reel in Cobia, Gag Grouper, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Redfish, Blacktip Sharks, Bull Sharks, Barracuda, and more. Whether your goal is to fill the cooler with fresh fillets or enjoy the excitement of catch-and-release, these waters rarely disappoint.
All fishing equipment—including rods, reels, and tackle—is provided. Fresh live bait is caught at the start of each outing, complemented by a full selection of premium lures. Fishing licenses are included for everyone onboard, and cold beverages are kept refreshed on ice.
