At Modern Sport Fishing, we offer nearshore, offshore, and deep drop fishing charters in Pensacola, Florida, along the stunning Gulf Coast and Emerald Coast.

– Nearshore Charters: Short 4-6 hour trips close to Pensacola’s shores, perfect for catching redfish, trout, and mackerel with less travel time.
– Offshore Charters: 6-10 hour adventures, 10-30 miles out, targeting bigger fish like snapper, grouper, and amberjack in the Gulf of Mexico.
– Deep Drop Trips: Full-day 12+ hour excursions, 50+ miles offshore, for trophy-sized catches like tilefish and snowy grouper.

The farther offshore you go, the longer the trip—but that means less fishing pressure and larger fish! Book your Pensacola fishing charter today and experience the best of Florida’s Emerald Coast!
