A smarter start to your day on the water.
Thomas Pilcher Park is one of the most convenient places to begin a 30A fishing charter. Located beneath the Clyde B. Wells Bridge on US-331, the launch gives us quick access to the protected waters of Choctawhatchee Bay without a long run before the fishing starts.
It is a straightforward meeting point for guests staying around Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, Grayton Beach, WaterColor and the wider 30A area. Captain Marvin chooses the final launch around the day’s wind, water clarity and fishing plan, so your time on the water is used well.
Captain Marvin confirms the launch.
Your meeting point is selected around conditions and the day's best fishing—not guesswork.

What Fishing Is Like Around Thomas Pilcher Park
From this side of Choctawhatchee Bay, we can reach grass flats, shoreline edges, deeper transitions and productive inshore structure. The exact approach changes with the tide, wind, bait movement and season.
That flexibility gives your group the chance for steady action and a good variety of inshore fish while keeping the trip comfortable and easygoing.
