In fact, Hook’em Up Fishing Charters has become so popular among visitors and locals alike that we have had the fantastic opportunity to expand our fleet.

At 52ft long the ‘Game Changer’, (formerly ‘Miss Kelley’ Charters), can take groups of up to 20 passengers on day trips and up to 8 on multi-day trips. She surely is a wonderful vessel that provides for a magnificent day out on the water. She joins the ‘Hooked Up’ which holds up to 16 people on day trips and up to 6 on multi-day trips.

Now, in 2023, we are Expanding Again with the addition of being able to offer fishing charter trips from ApalachicolaThe ‘Lady Raye’ which has been owned by Capt. BJ since 2017 and used as a commercial fishing vessel, is undergoing a major refit and will start taking charters this season from June 1st through Aug. 31st.
