One destination, two different days on the water
Venice Charters offers both inshore and offshore trips with Captain Brent Roy, who has run charters from Venice since 1991. Start with the kind of day your group wants: an inshore outing or a trip farther offshore.
The current trip menu separates inshore options by group size and lists an offshore option for up to six guests. Compare the current Rates page and talk through your group’s plans with the captain before choosing. The species pages and fishing-season guide can help you explore what interests you.
Choose your stay around your departure
Use the Plaquemines Parish visitor directory to look at Venice-area accommodation, then confirm your exact meeting place and departure time with Venice Charters before reserving. A parish-wide lodging listing can cover a much broader area than your pickup point.
If you are traveling with people who are not fishing, the parish visitor guide is also a useful starting point for a separate day out. Arrange your fishing day first, then build the rest of your visit around it.
Pack for the day you have booked
Venice Charters lists food and drinks, sunscreen, a camera, foul-weather gear, and an ice chest among the items to bring. Check the suggested cooler size and any fishing-license questions directly with the captain when confirming your trip.
Coastal weather can change the day’s plans. Use the official weather and fishing resources below for current information, and stay in touch with the captain about your departure.
