Welcome to Stray Dog Charters offshore sportfishing in beautiful sunny southwest Florida. We offer a variety of fishing trips ranging from the 'family fun' 4 and 6hr trips to the full day 8 and 10hr trips to the longer range of 12, 14 and 16hr trips.

We are US Coast guard equipped to carry groups up to six passengers (including children), plus crew. We do not run split group charters or individual fares.

All of our trips fish the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico which can be conveniently reached from our dock in just 10 short minutes.

With a 20+knot cruise, our vessel, The Stray Dog has a 16ft. beam and huge fishing cockpit. She fills the bill for the type of stand up fishing we specialize in. Built with a full cabin, private head, V-birth, shower and sinks, the Stray Dog offers the creature comforts you require for a days fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. We don't have carpet or color TV, however, we do have an extra large fish hold.

With safety being priority one aboard this vessel, we exceed all US Coast Guard regulations and requirements. Our state-of-the-art electronics include:
