Down The Bayou Charters offers offshore, inshore, and fly fishing charters out of Grand Isle, Louisiana, located at the mouth of Bayou Lafourche in Fourchon — an untouched sportsman’s paradise. Whether chasing big yellowfin tuna, swordfish, grouper, or speckled trout, the crew’s enthusiasm is contagious, and they won’t head home until the ice box is full, delivering the DTB Guarantee: no fuel surcharges and world-class lodging and fishing.
The fleet is genuinely extensive, spanning eight distinct vessels: the 44′ American, a first-of-its-kind aluminum offshore quad-engine boat cruising 50mph, comfortably fitting 6 with a 36-hour ice box; the 42′ Freeman Catamaran, the flagship of the fleet with quad Yamaha 300s for long-range, stable offshore trips; the 37′ Freeman Catamaran, built with quad Yamaha 350s for speed and a smooth ride to distant rigs; the 42′ Fincat, using hydrofoil technology to reach speeds up to 58 mph; the 33′ Freeman Catamaran, a fast, comfortable option for day trips to the canyon or reef fishing; the 24′ Purebay Blue Wave, ideal for bay and nearshore fishing around Louisiana’s barrier islands; and the Maverick 17′ HPXZ, a shallow-water skiff for sight fishing bull reds and speckled trout, comfortably fitting 2 anglers.
The crew includes Captains Joey Maciasz, Bradley Leopold, Hayden Kammel, Owen, Evan Hileman, and Ivan Perrin, along with “Chef” Alex, who shares recipes for the catch. Guests can also stay right at the marina aboard a luxury houseboat, with all-inclusive lodging packages available.
Down The Bayou Charters is backed by sponsors including Daiwa, Yamaha, Melaco Sisters, Yo-Zuri, and Southern Outdoors & Marine. Deposits and gift cards are non-refundable but valid for 5 years from purchase.
For anglers looking for a large-scale, well-equipped offshore, inshore, or fly fishing charter out of Grand Isle/Port Fourchon, with lodging built right in, Down The Bayou Charters offers one of the most extensive fleets in coastal Louisiana.
