After years of operating charter boats for other people and after lots of work and persistence, Captain “Ricochet Jay” Andrews succeeded in buying his own boat. Now, he runs year-round fishing trips the way he always wanted – suitable for anglers of all skill levels and family-friendly. He’s happy to accommodate more adult friendly trips where both smoking and drinking are okay, and the music is much louder!

Your trip starts on a 31’ Grady White boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. This center console is geared up with the latest navigational electronics. Powered by twin 300 Yamaha engines, she’ll take you to where the fish are fast, so you’ll have more time fishing. To make this experience comfortable during a long trip, there’s also a private toilet.

Throughout the year, you can take a trolling trip and target Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, and many more. However, the peak of the season is in June, July, August, and September when Red Snapper is in season. Your fishing equipment, including rods, reels, lures, and bait is fully covered by the captain. Feel free to bring a small cooler for your snacks and drinks. If you enjoy your fishing experience,  a 18-22% gratuity of the total trip cost is customary, appreciated, and expected, because the mate/deckhand works for tips only.

Great family trip & highly recommend!
4 Hour - Red Snapper Trip (AM) on July 8, 20255 adults1 child
We all had a great time. It was a family trip, my 2 daughters, 2 sons, & 11 yr old grandson.First time out for them. We all began catching fish as soon as we got to our locations & dropped lines! Captain Jay & crew were very respectful, knowledgeable , & helpful on the trip. They were very safety minded & explained where how to board, where to sit, etc before we took off & rules etc as different conditions occured. Again we all had a great experience! Thanks again, both Captain J & Crew!
