Tradition Fishing Charters in Perdido Key

Tradition Fishing Charters is a family business founded by Captain Miles Howell in the Perdido Key area. Its fleet supports private bay fishing, offshore trips and shared deep-sea outings, providing options for both small parties and larger groups.

Contact and booking details

Captain Miles and the team

Miles' biography describes learning to fish with his father, entering local tournaments and working as a deckhand while in high school. The current team page also introduces Captains James Spires and Mike, with backgrounds in local fishing and customer service.

The company advertises three federally permitted vessels. Its larger shared-charter boat is described as Coast Guard certified for up to 25 passengers, with air conditioning, a bathroom and bunks. The private page describes a 48-foot custom charter boat. Confirm the exact assigned vessel and trip capacity.

Private versus shared trips

Private bookings reserve the boat for your party, while shared trips combine customers into one sailing. The shared option is advertised at $160 per person. Ask about the duration, minimum booking numbers, passenger load and how the catch is divided on that sailing.

Private inshore trips are advertised from $375 and offshore trips from $750. These are starting figures; hours, vessel and group size determine the actual quote. Published options range across shorter outings and five- to 12-hour offshore choices, depending on the boat.

Fishing and inclusions

Inshore fishing may target redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead and mackerel. Offshore trips work toward reef and Gulf species such as snapper, grouper, triggerfish, cobia and amberjack. The crew can recommend an itinerary based on conditions and the party's experience.

The operator lists gear, bait, tackle, fishing-license coverage and safety equipment. Guests bring food and drinks. Confirm cleaning, gratuity, payment charges and the final price for the selected product rather than assuming every fleet offering has identical inclusions.

Departure and reservations

The published launch is 13506 Perdido Key Drive, Suite 101, with onsite parking and arrival at least 15 minutes before departure. Ask for the precise dock and any boat-specific boarding instructions.

Call or book through the operator for dates and availability. Request deposit, cancellation and weather-rescheduling terms with the confirmation. For a larger private party, have the actual passenger limit and boat name written into the quote.

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.
