Payback Sport Fishing

Verified

Confirmed against an official or primary source as of the date shown.

Confirmed directly on the operator's own site. Also offers dolphin/whale-watching tours and sunset cruises not listed here. The site's bare 'puppy drum' is mapped to red-drum (a well-established colloquial name for juvenile red drum, same alias this site's own relationships.ts already uses); bare 'tuna' is mapped to yellowfin-tuna and bare 'marlin' to both blue-marlin and white-marlin, the regionally dominant species for each generic term (same convention as this file's e-fishinsea entry); bare 'tilefish' is mapped to golden-tilefish only (the longer-established of the two tilefish species this site now tracks) rather than both, since the site doesn't distinguish. 'Ribbon fish' and the site's bare 'sharks' aren't mapped to a specific species. No captain name, passenger capacity, or specific trip-duration menu is published.

Trip pricing, exact vessel, captain, and current schedule aren't shown unless the operator posts them publicly — confirm availability, species, and pricing directly with the operator before booking. Each target species listed above links to its own page, including its current regulation link — always confirm season, size, and possession limits before you go.

Charted Waters is an independent informational directory. Listing an operator here does not mean Charted Waters has endorsed, inspected, licensed, insured, or otherwise vetted it — any credential or certification claim above is the operator's own, not something this project independently confirmed. Always verify current licensing, insurance, and availability directly with the operator before booking.
