​Unlike some of the other crabbing trips offered around the country, we DO NOT collect and bait crab traps for Blue Crabs. At Florida Crabbing Charters we head out at sunset and shortly after reaching the crabbing areas, we will kick on our powerful ultra bright LED Lighting System! As we slowly cruise around the flats looking for floating and crawling crabs, you will reach down and attempt to scoop up the crabs you see. It's not as easy as it seems, as the Blue Crab is a fast escape artist when he wants to be. Once you develop your own method and learn to scoop fast, it is a very successful way to crab and you will have a ton of fun scooping up your future feast.

The number of crabs you collect in a night is entirely up to your skills as a crabber, but on average we collect about 18-24 crabs depending on how many crabbers are participating and the time of year we are crabbing. In all reality, two dozen crabs is more than enough for a 4 person feast when boiled with corn and potatoes in a traditional crab pot. There's nothing like catching your dinner straight from the Gulf and filling your cooler full of Fresh Florida Blue Crabs. 

We also offer seasonal Oyster Harvesting Charters. NW Florida is one of the last places left in the country that you can still harvest Wild Oysters. Take part in this age old tradition that is slowly becoming a thing of the past. We will show you exactly how to clean and care for your oysters!

Due to popular demand, we are now offering Stone Crab Charters from October-March. These trips do require a minimum 2 week advanced booking so we can bait our stone crab traps and have them set in place for your charter. Stone Crab Claws are a unique delicacy that demand VERY high prices at seafood markets and restaurants all over the world. Book today to reserve one of our limted charter slots throughout the Fall/Winter Stone Crab Season.
