Who We Are
About Dirty Monkey Charters
Born on the Gulf Coast with one mission: catch fish, make memories, and do it Dirty Monkey style.
Catch Memories. Not Just Fish.
Dirty Monkey Charters started with one boat and a simple idea — take people offshore, put them on fish, and make sure they have the time of their lives doing it. No pretentious yacht club vibes, no corporate nonsense. Just real fishing with real people.
We specialize in deep sea fishing on the Gulf Coast, with a particular obsession for red snapper. When snapper season opens, our boats run hard — hitting the best reefs, wrecks, and ledges where the big reds stack up. But we chase it all: grouper, amberjack, tuna, mahi, wahoo, and marlin.
Whether you're a seasoned angler looking for your next trophy or a family wanting to experience deep sea fishing for the first time, we've got the boat, the crew, and the know-how to make it happen.
How We Roll
Our Values
Fish Hard
We don't do lazy days on the water. Every trip is planned to maximize your time on the bite — the right spots, the right bait, the right technique.
Safety First
Every vessel exceeds USCG safety requirements. Our captains hold the highest certifications and maintain every boat to the highest standards.
Good Times
Catching fish is the mission, but having a blast doing it is the culture. That's the Dirty Monkey way — good times, tight lines, every single trip.
