Fishing Charters
Private shallow water fishing trips along 30A, South Walton, and the surrounding bays — designed for families, kids, beginners, and anglers looking for a great day on the water.
Private fishing trips built around your day on the water
At 30A Shallow Water Guide Service, every charter is a private trip tailored to your group, the season, and the kind of fishing experience you want. Whether you’re planning a fun family outing, a simple kids trip, or a more focused inshore or tarpon trip, Captain Ryan will help match you with the right option for the day.
We fish the shallow bays, flats, and backwaters around 30A, South Walton, Freeport, and nearby areas, targeting species such as redfish, trout, flounder, and tarpon when in season.

Which Trip Is Right For You?
If you’re looking for the best all-around option, the Inshore Fishing Trip is usually the right place to start. It’s flexible, productive, and works well for a wide range of groups.
If you’re bringing younger children or first-time anglers, the Kids Fishing Trip keeps things simple, comfortable, and fun while still giving everyone the chance to catch fish and enjoy the day.
If you’re visiting during tarpon season and want a more specialised experience, the Tarpon Fishing Trip offers a chance to target one of the most exciting inshore game fish on the Gulf Coast.
If you’re unsure which option is best, Captain Ryan can help guide you based on your group, the season, and what kind of fishing experience you want.
Whats included on a 30A Shallow Water Guide Service charter?
Every trip includes the essentials you need for a smooth, enjoyable day on the water. Captain Ryan provides the boat, fuel, rods, reels, tackle, and the local knowledge to put your group in the best position for the day’s fishing.
All charters are private, so your trip is focused on your group only — no mixing with strangers, no crowded shared boat experience, and no one-size-fits-all day on the water.
