Deep sea fishing in Christmas

13 of the 42 charters in Christmas list offshore trips on their own websites.

State or federal water

Florida state waters on the Atlantic run from shore to 3 miles out; beyond that is federal water. Which side of that line you fish on can change the season and the limits.

Federally permitted boats

Boats with a federal South Atlantic snapper-grouper permit follow federal closures in state waters too, such as the April closure for amberjack. Ask whether the boat is federally permitted.

What a deep sea trip costs in Christmas

The rates Christmas charters and guides publish on their own websites, by trip length. These are the price of the whole boat, and a range across many boats rather than any one boat's rate. Read on 2026-10-01. Confirm with the captain when you call.

  • Half day (3-5 hours)$450 – $700 5 charters and guides publish a rate · middle of the range $550

What a trip costs moves with fuel prices, the size of the boat and how far out it runs, and a quiet Tuesday is not a holiday weekend. Nothing here is a booking; we take no fee and hold no rates.

What deep sea fish can I keep in Christmas in October?

Under Florida's rules you can keep amberjack, king mackerel, mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo and cobia. For red snapper and grouper it depends on the dates or whether the boat holds a federal permit. Sailfish can legally be kept, but only within strict rules: Sailfish must measure 63 inches, lower jaw to fork, and in federal waters the boat needs a federal HMS permit. Seasons change, so check each fish page or ask the captain before you keep one.

Where do state waters end off Christmas?

Florida state waters on the Atlantic run from shore to 3 miles out; beyond that is federal water. Federal seasons and limits apply beyond it, and for some fish they also apply to federally permitted charter boats inside state waters.
