Apalachicola Charters

Let me tell y’all folks the weather was not looking the best this morning. Cpt. Rudy took us to several spots today in the bay fishing. The bite was slow but he did his best to put us on some fish. Overall great person. Treats you like family. We will see you next year. Definitely get your money worth trip was amazing. 7-6-2023

This was the best tour ever Rudy is life long native who knows the area and the water.

Great time with Captain Rudy. He made me and my family comfortable. The fishing experience was great. My daughters caught fish as well as my parents.
We will make this trip with Captain Rudy often as possible. Highly recommend. Rudy has lot of experience fishing the area

We had a wonderful fishing trip with Capt Rudy! We got an early start and he was ready to go with a smile on his face. A couple of us were pretty sleepy but perked up quickly with the beautiful sunrise, dolphins in the bay and the cool breeze. We learned a lot about how to look for and catch live bait and the different fish in the area. We were a family of five with three adult “children” who had not been on such a trip before. All loved it! We were able to keep a few sea trout that made a wonderful meal too. (We were not prepared with a cooler to bring those back, so I’d recommend doing this. Also, they are not allowed to fillet the fish at that particular dock.)

Capt. Rudy’s fishing charter was a birthday present for my 14 year old son- it was awesome! Brought home some triple tail and a big smile! Thank you!

Capital Rudy was a class act the entire way through. Accommodating, informed, helpful, and a good story teller. All around great experience. If you want someone who knows these waters, he’s your guy.

I've been going in the gulf for 40 years, the captain of this boat is the best I've ever had in the Gulf of Mexico. If you want to catch your limit on what's in season it's well worth the drive from anywhere on the gulf coast!!

Spent the afternoon on the bay fishing with Captain Rudy. He took us to some truly magical spots. Was a typical Florida day and Captain Rudy made sure we were safe as the afternoon thundershowers rolled in. He is definitely knowledgeable and passionate about the area. We were having so much fun we stayed out longer just to continue enjoying the day!

We had a wonderful river tour with Captain Rudy including beautiful views at sunset and lively conversation. Great choice of outing for your vacation!

Can't say enough great things about these guys! Took a sunset cruise and it was just magical. We were treated like family (in a good way). Take a charter. You won't be sorry!!

To travel on a charter with Captain Rudy Gay, is like taking a trip with a walking-talking history book! Captain Rudy demonstrated the powerful knowledge he has of fishing the area as well as the history. He will tell you about St George Island, Little St George Island, St Vincent Island etc. He knows where the fish are and he will take you there! We highly recommend Captain Rudy Gay and Apalachicola Charters! Thank you very much, Captain Rudy!

Any good charter captain can make it a great trip when you’re catching lots of fish.

A really good captain will keep it lively, show novices how to fish with patience and a sense of humor, and make it a great trip when you’re catching lots of fish.

Only an exceptional captain, like Rudy, can make it a great trip when it’s that odd day that the fish aren’t biting - catfish, gars, and stingrays excepted. Captain Rudy told stories, mentored us on fishing techniques, and baited then re-baited our hooks numerous times as we spent a great morning on the water. If we’d had the time to go fishing one more time during our vacation and could have chosen any charter service on the gulf, I have no doubt we would have gone with Rudy again confident that we’d not only have equally as much fun, but would catch our fill.

My husband & I only book our trips with Captain Rudy. He always makes us feel like family, and we always have a wonderful time. He knows where the honey holes are. Definitely book with Captain Rudy!

Incredible day of fishing with Capt. Rudy. My wife and I couldn't have picked a better charter. Enjoyed his company as much as the fishing. It was a windy day and he still put us on the fish. We will be back!

Excellent eco-tour out in the afternoon with my wife and our 6 year old son. Fun, historical, ran into some alligators, and we saw a pod of manatees up close!

We Had a great experience with Captain Rudy!

Couldn’t have asked for a better captain. Will definitely be using him again
