Proud Pelican Charters is the premier choice for Pensacola Beach fishing charters, led by the experienced Captain Mark Shaw. With a foundation built on twenty years of brotherhood and service in the Air Force, Captains Mark and Chris transitioned their dedication from the skies to the Gulf in 2021. Today, they provide high-end, family-friendly fishing charters in Pensacola Beach that prioritize safety, success, and lasting memories.

Operating a powerful 35 ft Express Sport fisher equipped with twin 440hp Yanmar engines and upgraded 2017 electronics, we offer a fast, stable, and comfortable ride to the best fishing grounds in the Gulf of Mexico. Our service area extends from the Pensacola Pass up to 100 miles offshore, allowing us to offer everything from nearshore coastal trips to elite offshore sport fishing.

We specialize in a variety of techniques, including trolling, deep dropping, and bottom fishing. Whether you are looking for a half-day fishing charter in Pensacola Beach to catch King Mackerel and Black Fin Tuna, or a grueling 15-hour deep-sea trip targeting Marlin, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna, our excursions are designed to produce results.

As a top-rated Pensacola Beach private fishing charter, we accommodate up to 6 passengers and provide all necessary fishing licenses. We are deeply committed to making fishing accessible for everyone; there is no minimum age for our trips, and nothing makes our captains happier than seeing a child land their first big catch.

Based at 715 Pensacola Beach Boulevard, we are perfectly positioned for quick access to the Gulf's most productive reefs and rigs. From Red Snapper and Grouper to the legendary Wahoo, Proud Pelican Charters delivers an authentic Florida Panhandle experience. With a transparent 24-hour cancellation policy and a passion for hospitality, we ensure your time on the water is the highlight of your year.
