Board the Familynn for an eight-hour charter led by Captain Jay Trochesset, a fourth-generation captain from Biloxi whose family runs the longest-running boat operation in the area. Trips travel 10–20 miles offshore to chase species such as redfish, Jack crevalle and Spanish mackerel; the operator supplies rods, reels, tackle, lures and even the fishing license so you can focus on fishing a full day with an experienced crew.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE CAPTAIN

Four generations of charter expertise

Captain Jay Trochesset continues a family legacy aboard the Familynn; his experience and recognition — including a People’s Choice nod and induction into the IGFA Hall of Fame in 2016 — shape an informed, steady day on the water.

THE CATCH

Expect action 10–20 miles offshore

Depending on the season the charter pushes 10–20 miles out, where the day’s targeted species often include redfish, Jack crevalle and Spanish mackerel — the kinds of runs and strikes that make an eight-hour trip feel packed with moments.

THE RIG

Ready-to-fish gear and comforts

Trips come with rods, reels, tackle, lures, a first mate, two Yeti coolers and ice, plus the fishing license — the operator outfits the boat so anglers need only bring food, drinks and sun protection.

What the day feels like

What eight hours on the Familynn feels like

An eight-hour private charter out of Biloxi is a full day at sea: you’ll board the Familynn, head offshore for 10–20 miles depending on conditions and season, fish for a rotation of species from nearshore reds to migratory Spanish mackerel, and work with a mate and an experienced captain who provide gear and manage the day so anglers can concentrate on casting and fighting fish.
