I have a question about boat tours out in the golf?

I want to complete my trip where I can ride a boat for the day in the bay and take some photo's of sharks "not the ones at seaworld"

Anyone know any good charters?

The gulf is a big place, would be half a million charters to choose from. Would help if you narrowed down your launch point...

Cory would be in the West Palm beech area "loxhatchitee" if I spelled that town right.

FYI, WPB is on the Atlantic side, not the Gulf side. Can't help you with anything that far south, I used to live in northeastern Fl.

Just don't use this guy:

WPB would be a 3 hour drive to get to the gulf. Straight across puts you in the Fort Myers area, lots of charters through there, I am sure you wont have issue finding a place.

If grandmother lives in Pensacola, just go from there. There have to be a million or more there (maybe an exxageration). I will actually be in Gulf Shores this weekend for a wedding (GS is not too far from Pensacola). I go out of Zeke's Charters in Orange Beach (only about 25 miles from Pensacola) for fishing trips and they are first rate. They have about 100 or so charter boats/captains to choose from. I would assume that you could find a charter service just like them from the Pensacola area. This time of the year, there aren't many species of fish that are out of season, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding a charter.

Just my two cents worth...
