Offshore Fishing Charters from
Grand Isle & Fourchon, Louisiana
Offshore Fishing Charters Out of South Louisiana for
Red Snapper, Cobia, Grouper, Pelagics & More in the
Gulf of America
Welcome to American Gulf Fishing Charters — your gateway to Louisiana’s world-class offshore fishing. We specialize in full-day deep-sea fishing trips targeting: Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, Grouper, Wahoo, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Swordfish, Tuna & more. The waters off of the Louisiana coast are some of the most productive in the Gulf of America, thanks to a mix of natural and manmade structure that holds fish year-round.
Oil platforms – hundreds of vertical reef systems loaded with bait and predators
Pipeline crossings and oil rig cutoffs – underwater intersections that break current and concentrate fish
Sunken wrecks and artificial reefs – old ships, barges, and rigs turned into fish magnets
Natural bottom – live coral, shell pads, rock piles, mud lumps, and ledges scattered across the Gulf floor
These areas hold fish year-round and give us plenty of options, no matter the season.
Our mission is to help people fall in love with fishing the way we did — not just the catch, but the process, the challenge, and the connection to the water. We’re here to build real anglers who carry that passion forward to the next generation. One fish, one fight, one trip is all it takes to start a new legacy — and we want our boat to be the foundation of many.
