Not A Dog Charters in Grayton Beach

Not A Dog Charters offers a distinctly Grayton Beach experience: boarding from the beach for a private fishing trip with Captain Kerry Jones. The name is a reference to the boat—a custom-built 20-foot catamaran—with space for a maximum of four anglers.

Contact and booking details

Captain Kerry and his boat

Kerry moved to the area in 1969 and, according to his biography, has fished and dived the local waters since then. He received his first Coast Guard license in 1976 and brings a long association with the area's natural bottom structures to his charter work.

The boat was custom-built by Kerry and is powered by twin Yamaha four-stroke outboards, with modern electronics. This is a beach-launched catamaran outing rather than a large harbor-based cabin charter. Ask about the boarding process and whether it suits everyone in your group.

Fishing from Grayton Beach

The operator describes a short run from the beach to bottom fishing for species such as snapper, grouper and triggerfish, or trolling for king mackerel. Seasonal cobia sight-fishing is another option highlighted by the company.

The service is marketed to visitors staying along 30A, including Grayton Beach, Seaside, WaterColor, Seagrove and neighboring communities. That broad service area does not change the stated Grayton Beach launch. Confirm the exact beach access, parking and meeting instructions rather than travelling to the published office address.

Published rate and booking details

The rates page lists four hours at $1,000 for up to four anglers and additional time at $200 per hour. Cash and personal checks are accepted. Confirm the full current quote and any deposit before reserving.

The website says guide-cancelled trips due to unfavorable weather may be rescheduled or receive a full refund. It does not set out a complete customer-cancellation policy in the reviewed pages, so ask for that separately.

Preparing for the beach launch

Discuss children, mobility and the expected boarding conditions with Kerry before the trip. Request a clear list of provided tackle, bait, license coverage, ice and cleaning, since those inclusions are not fully itemized in the reviewed text.

Ask what footwear, bags, food and drinks are appropriate for a beach departure and where to leave a cooler for the return catch. The published contact page includes a Highway 98 business address, but the fishing description specifically says passengers are picked up on Grayton Beach.

Details checked September 26, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
