Scott Hendrickson, Guide at Sunny Bay Cruise and Charter

Fishing trips launching from Baytown Marina offer access to some of the most productive waters along the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast. From calm bayous and open bays to passes and nearshore Gulf waters, this area provides a wide range of fishing opportunities for anglers of all experience levels. Popular local spots include Mid Bay Bridge, East Pass, Choctawhatchee Bay, and the surrounding waterways, with the flexibility to explore shallow flats or run offshore when conditions allow.


Trips target a diverse mix of inshore and nearshore species including redfish (red drum), speckled trout, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, Spanish mackerel, jack crevalle, striped bass, and ladyfish. Techniques are matched to conditions and the bite, ranging from bottom fishing and vertical jigging to trolling, live bait freelining, and chunking. Whether guests want steady action close to shore or a longer run toward the Gulf, each trip is tailored to the group’s goals and comfort level.


Although the operation is newer, the captains running trips bring over 30 years of combined experience fishing these waters. The focus is on safe, well-run charters with clear communication, relaxed pacing, and an enjoyable day on the water. No fishing license is required, making it easy for visitors and families to book without extra planning.


Trips are run aboard a brand-new 23-foot 2025 World Cat 230DC dual console catamaran powered by twin Yamaha 150 engines. The boat offers a smooth, stable ride with a fast cruise speed, plenty of deck space, and room for up to seven guests or 1,400 pounds. Unlike typical center console boats, this dual console setup includes a large sun canopy, onboard bathroom, upgraded Garmin electronics, and a JL Audio sound system, adding comfort without sacrificing fishability. The shallow draft allows access to areas many boats cannot reach, while remaining capable of running offshore up to 25 miles.


Private half-day trips are available in the morning or afternoon, along with full-day charters, sunset cruises, specialty trips, dolphin sightseeing, and short two-hour “first catch” outings designed for kids and beginners. All trips depart from Baytown Marina, with flexible meeting options nearby. A one-day cancellation policy keeps scheduling simple and fair for everyone.
