Fishing and Other Local Attractions

If Fishing is on your agenda, The Gulf View Resort is a great destination. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler, you may want to book a charter and fish with the Pros. Fishing trips usually last about four hours, run a couple times a day and sometimes at night. This is a good choice especially if you don’t have as much time as you’d like to spend on the water.

If you are on a budget or you get a last minute urge, try a party boat. You may not get quite as much personal attention, but if you’re catching fish, who cares?

Another option is to bring your own boat, which gives you the freedom to fish when and wherever you wish. And don’t worry if you don’t know where to fish, we will point you in the right direction. Some people find it easier to rent a boat once they get out here. We recommend making all arrangements prior to your arrival. You may just want to fish off one of our canoes or paddle boats, which are free to our guests, or try fishing off our pier or one of the local bridges. Whether it’s the bay, the flats, the Reef or trolling with the big boys that catches your interests, The Gulf View Resort is where you’ll want to be.

Here are a couple of our favorite local fishing charters, please contact them directly. Some of these boats book up months in advance, depending on the season, so it’s a good idea to schedule your trip(s) as early as possible.

Party Boats

Party boats are a good option if you are vacationing on a budget, or if you just want to squeeze in as much fishing as possible. Party boat rates may vary but you’ll definitely get the most “bang for your buck”. If you are interested in going on a party boat fishing trip please contact them directly.

If you bring your own boat or rent a boat, there is a $20.00 per day docking fee, which includes launching and storage of your trailer. We do not recommend any boats larger than 20', because at low tide, water levels can be as low as 1' 6". Also, take note that we have a dock not individual slips, and occasionally if there are more than two or three boats we ask that you tie off the bow of the boat to the pier and throw an anchor off the stern. If you have any questions please call 1-877-289-0111.
