ABOUT Chandeleur and Marsh Trips
On your trip, you will be taken to the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana Marsh, and Barrier Islands. To start the trip, we will meet at the dock where you can board the boat and get a feel for your accommodations. After we set out on the water you'll have a chance to take in the beautiful scenery and fresh air until we reach our destination. Captain Ron will judge where the best fishing will be based on the time of day, weather, and other factors. Your fishing charter will be full of chances to catch fish! Every meal will be deliciously homemade and we may even get the chance to serve up some of your catches. Your group can look forward to a filling southern style Cajun dinner each night that features fresh ingredients.
