Rick Durant, Captain at Gulf Bay Charters

Whether you’re looking for an epic fishing battle or a family fishing trip with plenty of comfort and style, Gulf Bay Charters can’t wait to take you out on the most exciting nearshore or offshore fishing adventure. Located in Pensacola, Florida the charters boast a premium seaworthy vessel that’s capable of cruising you to wherever the fish bites are hot. And there’s no better way to do this than to be accompanied by an experienced and native captain, Rick Duran.


You’ll be traveling on board your Captain’s 33’ World Cat Catamaran fishing vessel that can accommodate up to 6 guests. The boat uses full-featured navigation technology that allows safe and quick movement on the water. It features a toilet, ice box, and a live bait well. There are also life jackets available for use onboard. No matter where you choose to fish, you’ll be treated to a safe and relatively comfortable ride.


Captain and his crew pride themselves on providing top angling adventures that are, above all, family-friendly. Aspiring anglers and little ones will have the chance to catch anything from nearshore Snapper and Triggerfish species to King Mackerel and maybe even a Mahi Mahi! And those who are more experienced or wish to level up their adventure by embarking on a bigger game, Captain Rick will give you a good shot at trying to wrestle an Amberjack or Cobia into the boat!


Pensacola’s diverse fishery offers a wide selection of species that you can target. Depending on what you want to catch, you’ll be using a variety of fishing techniques—from using heavy tackle, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, and more! There’s no need to worry at all because Gulf Bay Charters will make sure you can use it while battling big game fish.


The crew will take care of all the fishing gear, licenses, bait, and lures for the day. There will also be a first mate on board who will be assisting you. At the end of the trip, you can also have your catch cleaned free of charge You’ll just need to bring on some snacks and drinks of your choice, grab your sun protection and be in your weather-appropriate clothing.
