Blue Wave Cruises

Enjoy a private half-day inshore fishing trip designed for families, beginners, and casual anglers who want a fun day on the water without heading far offshore. This trip stays in calmer coastal waters, making it a great option for kids, first-time anglers, and groups who want a more comfortable fishing experience.
Depending on the season, tides, and conditions, your captain may target redfish, trout, snapper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, and other inshore species. The trip is flexible, relaxed, and built around giving your group a memorable time on the water.

Your charter includes fishing licenses, rods and reels, bait, tackle, ice, bottled water, and fish cleaning when applicable. Your captain will provide the gear, help with baiting hooks, and guide your group throughout the trip.
Please bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a camera, and any snacks or drinks you would like. A small cooler may be brought for personal items, but larger coolers should stay in your vehicle until the trip is over.

Inshore Fishing

Spend a full day offshore with Blue Wave Charters and give your group the best chance at targeting bigger Gulf species. This trip is ideal for anglers who want more time on the water, deeper fishing grounds, and a more complete offshore experience.
Depending on the season, weather, and current bite, your captain may target snapper, grouper, amberjack, king mackerel, mahi mahi, tuna, shark, and other offshore species. With a full day available, the captain can adjust the plan around conditions and give your group the strongest opportunity for a productive trip.

Your offshore charter includes fishing licenses, rods and reels, bait, tackle, ice, bottled water, and fish cleaning. The crew will help with rigging, bait, landing fish, and keeping the trip running smoothly throughout the day.
Please bring lunch, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a camera, rain gear if needed, and any extra drinks or snacks you would like. A customary tip for the captain and crew is appreciated after a great day on the water.
