THE BOAT & CREW

Red Eye II is skippered by Captain Gary Bryant and operates on a 38' Topaz, configured for private charters with room for up to six passengers.

THE KIT

Everything You Need to Fish Is Supplied

All rates include bait, tackle, a fishing license and fish cleaning — the charter is delivered turn‑key so anglers can focus on the water rather than gear.

THE FISHERY

Offshore and Oil‑Rig Fishing for Snapper, Grouper and More

Trips head offshore to reefs and oil rigs to target red snapper, vermilion snapper, scamp, grouper, king mackerel and wahoo, with both reef and pelagic opportunities.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

A Red Eye II charter is a private, equipment‑supplied outing: guests gather at the marina, run offshore to structure and rigs to fish a variety of species, and return with the day's catch cleaned by the crew — all while provisioning their own food and beverages for the trip.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits — and who should think twice.

1
Active FamiliesAll ages are allowed, making the private charter a solid pick for family groups with children who can handle a day on the water.
2
Small GroupsPrivate charters accommodate up to six passengers, ideal for groups of friends or a small party wanting exclusive access to the boat.
3
Serious AnglersAnglers seeking reef and offshore species will appreciate that the trip supplies bait, tackle and a fishing license so you can focus on catching fish.
4
Large PartiesNot a match for large groups: the vessel capacity is limited to six passengers, so larger parties should book multiple charters or look for larger vessels.
