Captain Krista and the guide network

Krista is a St. George Island native and fifth-generation local fishing guide. The website says Island Charters books more than a dozen guides, making it important to confirm the assigned captain and boat. An island departure is subject to availability; other trips depart from Apalachicola.

Fishing choices and rates

Bay trips are listed at $495 for four hours or $595 for five hours for one to four anglers. Additional passengers are $75 each, with a six-person maximum where the assigned boat permits. The five-hour state-water Gulf option starts at $795 for four anglers.

Federal offshore trips are advertised from $1,500 for seven hours, with rates and extra-person charges varying by captain and season. Fish ’n Fun combines fishing with island, dolphin or beach time. Sightseeing outings are listed at $295, $395 and $495 for two, three and four hours respectively.

Inclusions and booking details

The fishing listings include licenses, bait, tackle, bottled water and an iced cooler. Fish-cleaning arrangements vary with the captain and location. Offshore minimum-age guidance also varies, and the site discourages deep-sea outings for very young children.

Call or text the reservation number; the contact page specifically prefers those methods over email. Supply dates, passenger ages and your priorities, then obtain the final price, assigned vessel, boarding address and cancellation terms. The range of guides means a general menu price should not be treated as the final confirmation for every boat.
