4-Hour Beach Fishing Charter
A relaxed half-day of land-based fishing on the Pensacola sand — perfect for first-timers and families.
The 4-Hour Beach Fishing trip is our most popular intro to land-based fishing. We meet you on the beach in Pensacola, set up the rods, and you fish straight from the sand for four hours. No boat, no seasickness, no marina crowds — just you, the surf, and the fish.
On this trip we target whatever is moving through the wash: sharks, redfish, bluefish, and other Gulf Coast species that push in with the tide. Capt. Arinton reads the water, rigs every rod, and handles the casting. You watch the lines, feel the bite, and fight the fish yourself.
Four hours is enough time to set up, get a bite, and land a real fish — and still be back for lunch. It suits families with kids, couples, first-timers who have never held a rod, and visiting anglers who want to try surf fishing on the Gulf Coast without committing to a full day on the water.
All gear is provided: rods, reels, circle hooks, bait, and everything in between. You bring sunscreen, a hat, and a cooler for drinks. No fishing experience is needed — Capt. Arinton has guided total beginners and lifelong anglers alike, and the trip adjusts to whoever is standing on the sand next to him.
We follow current FWC shore-based shark fishing rules on every trip. Circle hooks only, no dragging sharks onto the beach, and every fish is released alive and unharmed. We are licensed and permitted, and we fish by the book so the Gulf Coast fishery stays healthy trip after trip.
There's no limit on group size. Pricing is $650 for the group, plus $100 per additional hour. Call or text (850) 530-3971 to book — Capt. Arinton will confirm your date, answer questions, and point you to the right beach access.
