Along with his experienced team of fishermen, your captain will lead you in the right direction for an incredible fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico.

'Kelley Girl' is a 55' Queen craft Gillman sportfishing vessel, and she's ready to transport up to 20 guests out to the hottest spots around. Her size makes her perfect for bringing along the whole family, or tangling lines with your favorite angling buddies. She's a true fishing machine, decked out with GPS, fishfinder, life jackets for all ages, a full toilet, and a flybridge to take in stunning views. For all you hardcore anglers, you'll find outriggers on board to cover plenty of ground when trolling.

Your captain specializes in trolling, bottom fishing, and Shark fishing – you can opt to try out one technique, or even go for all 3. Trolling will see you hooking Mackerel and Bonito, and bottom fishing will have you plumbing the depths for huge Red Snapper, Gag Grouper, and more. If you're ready to come face-to-gills with some notorious sea predators, you can fish for Bull, Hammerhead, Dusky, Mako, and Sand Shark, to name a few!

Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, and a license. Live bait can be purchased at a small cost. Join Kelley Girl Charters and experience Floridian fishing at its finest!

Captain and 1st Mate knew what he was doing

6 hour( Jan 1- May 31) 6 am on April 5, 2026 • 5 adults

We chartered the Kelly Girl for a boys trip with my nephews to bond and also get fish for a fish fry. We met with Captain Carson and first mate Nate at 6am. They immediately helped us load up or cooler and going. Boat was clean and had a huge are to sit and relax. Once we got to our fishing spot we were catching fish right away. Rods touched the water and catching fish. Nate made sure our equipment was ready and in the water quickly. He had us at our limit quickly. Both Carson and Nate made sure we had everything we needed during our trip. End of our trip Nate helped us take our fish to get cleaned and everything. Extremely professional and they know what they are doing. Our charter of choice and we will be back for Red Snapper season!!!

Great fishing trip!

6 hour( Jan 1- May 31) 6 am on May 13, 2026 • 14 adults

would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking to go fishing! the captain and first mate were both amazing, welcoming and attentive. we had a great time fishing and if the bitng ever seemed to slow down a bit the captain immediately tried another spot before a single one of us even thought about anything so we were constantly reeling in and caught our limit pretty quickly. we would definitely go with this crew again if we’re ever in the area again.
