Looking to go fishing in Pensacola? That's what It's A Good Day Charters is here for!

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel, Redfish, Sheepshead, Cubera Snapper, Lane Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, and plenty more. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Kids are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your boat for the day is a 22' Grady White dual console with room for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Bill will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with It's A Good Day Charters!

    It was a great day fishing!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on September 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    My Brother and I finally planned a long talked about fishing week in Pensacola. We read the reviews on several and selected It’s A Good Day charter based on the reviews and the types of trips that was offered. Captain Bill was there preparing his beautiful boat when we arrived, and we got there early. He welcomed us on board and for the next 4 hours treated us like we were old friends. He kept us entertained on the way out with stories about himself and the area. Coached us on how to catch the fish he put us on. And made the entire experience so pleasurable. Both my Brother and I are avid fishermen from different parts of the country but we learned a lot with Captain Bill. I know the name of the charter is ‘It’s A Good Day’, but for us it was a Great day! Book with Captain Bill, you won’t be disappointed. PS, we caught a lot of fish!

    Most Experienced Captain by far, stop scrolling

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore on August 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    Bill consistently put us on large fish and numbers. I thought I was an east Texas bass fisherman that knew everything, I was wrong, Bill is the one who knows everything. Incredible watching and learning from his pattern recognition. He moves when you need to, and stays when you should. Big fish, numbers, experience, and a guide you can spend all day with and have an incredible trip. Could not have asked for a better outing. The multifaceted knowledge is far superior than a company that owns 4 boats and hires only ‘decent’ captains (experience and time on the water speaks for itself). I hope whoever sees this review books the trip with Captain Bill, there is not a better option.

    Bill Rocks!

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore on June 30, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had the absolute best time with Bill! He is so knowledgeable and helpful! He was so kind and great with our kids! This was their first experience and he made it a great one! Unfortunately the waters weren’t in the best conditions for fishing thanks to the recent hurricane but he still made it fun and we still had some great catches! I will always recommend Bill and cant wait to go back out again!

    Perfect family fishing day!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

    We had the best outing today! We met at 6:30am and by the time we anchored shortly after 7:00, the kids were immediately reeling in fish! We caught close to 100 fish as a family of six in four hours! The weather was beautiful, Bill and Will were so friendly and helpful, and it was an awesome outing! If we make our way back to Orange Beach, we will definitely book again!

    Great family fishing adventure

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on April 29, 2026 • 5 adults

    Our family recently had the pleasure of embarking on a deep sea fishing adventure with Captain Bill. As parents of three teens, we began the day not knowing what to expect but then ending the day with a boatload of memories, sage fishing wisdom, and a surprisingly large catch of fish that we got to take home and eat. From curing seasickness, to helping us finally catch the “one the kept getting away”, Captain Bill was the ideal guide. His patience, humor, and kindness, was exactly what our family needed to put us at ease on the high seas.

    First time and will bot be the last

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on May 19, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Bill is very knowledgeable on where to go, how to reel them in, and about pthe fish we caught. A family friendly trip, we took our kids. They caught Mangrove snapper, White snapper, Red drum, Grouper, Spanish mackerel, Hard tale and Lady fish. Dolphins also joined along for a bit which our youngest loved seeing. We did catch and release for our trip.

    SUCH A GREAT TRIP

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 4, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Bill put us on fish all day long. Bill and deck hand Will keep you ready to go and engage with everyone to make sure its a fun time. We caught a lot of fish and several different species. A great captain who you can tell really enjoys putting the people on the fish. We will definitely be returning customers.

    Great trip!

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore on May 30, 2026 • 5 adults

    Great fishing trip! We caught a bunch of red snapper, which was what we wanted. We had to drive a little further to find them as it had just rained. Capt Bill was excellent. He communicated well beforehand. During the trip he explained everything we were doing and worked to ensure we had a good time. Highly recommend.

    Great captain, great day of fishing

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore on May 15, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Bill was awesome. Kept us on the fish the whole time. Our kids had a blast. Captain Bill even gave us tips on cooking our fish we caught. Would definitely recommend Captain Bill to anyone wanting to go deep sea fishing. When we go again, we'll be using It's a Good Day Charters.
