What’s included in the charter price?

Your booking covers a licensed professional captain, U.S. Coast Guard–inspected vessel, premium rods and reels, bait, ice, fuel, safety gear, and cleaning plus bagging of your catch. Mississippi salt-water fishing licenses are provided for all passengers, so you can simply step aboard and start fishing.

What should we bring on the boat?

Pack weather-appropriate clothing, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, snacks or lunch, non-marking shoes, and any beverages you prefer (no glass). A small cooler left in your vehicle is handy for transporting fillets home. Don’t forget a camera to capture the day’s highlights.

When is the best time of year to fish the Mississippi Gulf Coast?

Redfish and speckled trout feed actively from March through June and again in September through early December, while summer offers steady action for flounder and other mixed species. Winter can still be productive, especially on mild days, making inshore fishing a year-round option.

Where do we meet and what time do trips depart?

Trips launch from the boat ramp in Gautier, MS, roughly 20 minutes east of Biloxi and Gulfport. Standard departure is 7:00 a.m., but Captain Forrest may adjust times for optimal tide or customer preference. Exact meeting details are confirmed at booking.

Do you clean and bag the fish?

Yes. After the trip, Captain Forrest fillets, bags, and ices your legal catch at no extra charge. Many nearby restaurants will cook your fresh fillets, or you can take them home for a Gulf Coast seafood feast.

Are children and beginners welcome?

Absolutely. Marley Ray Adventures caters to anglers of all experience levels. The captain provides patient instruction, kid-size life vests, and lightweight tackle, ensuring a comfortable, enjoyable outing for families and first-timers.

How do I reserve a date and what payments are accepted?
