About Skipper Charters

Since 1975, Skipper Charters has been helping families, friends, and fishing fanatics create unforgettable memories on the waters of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Based in Biloxi, our charter has grown from a small local operation into one of the most trusted and experienced fishing charter services in the region.

We specialize in personalized offshore fishing trips for groups of up to 18 people — offering bottom fishing, trolling, cruising, party trips, and respectful memorial services at sea. Whether you're looking for serious angling action or a relaxing day with your crew, we’re here to make your time on the water safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

A Legacy of Gulf Coast Fishing Since 1975

Founded by a seasoned local fisherman with a passion for the sea, Skipper Charters was built on three key values: safety, service, and Southern hospitality. Nearly 50 years later, we’re proud to uphold that legacy with every trip we take.

We’ve fished these waters long before GPS and online bookings. That means we know the Gulf of Mexico intimately — from the most active reef zones for bottom fishing to the best trolling lanes and quiet routes for cruising. When you fish with us, you're tapping into generations of local knowledge.

Our boat is fully equipped for your comfort and safety. We welcome beginners, families, seasoned anglers, and everyone in between.

Our Captain & Crew

At the helm of every Skipper Charters trip is a captain with decades of hands-on experience. He’s not just a licensed boat operator — he’s a passionate host, responsible leader, and proud ambassador of Biloxi’s coastal traditions.

We believe that chartering a fishing trip is about more than catching fish. It’s about feeling welcomed, cared for, and relaxed from the moment you step on board. Our crew is trained to provide a family-friendly, respectful, and fun environment no matter the occasion.

We love what we do — and it shows in every trip.

More Than Fishing: Memorial Services at Sea

One of the most meaningful offerings at Skipper Charters is our sea memorial service — a peaceful and dignified way to honor a loved one by spreading ashes into the Gulf.

We understand how deeply personal these moments are. That’s why our memorial charters are private, respectful, and tailored to your family’s wishes. With gentle cruising, quiet moments for reflection, and a compassionate crew, we help you create a tribute that feels healing and heartfelt.

Many families choose Skipper Charters because of our trusted reputation and sensitive handling of these services. We work closely with you to ensure the experience is seamless and supportive from start to finish.
