Venice Charters offers premier inshore and offshore fishing charters in Venice, Louisiana, led by Captain Brent Roy, who has run fishing charters out of Venice since 1991. Brent’s father, Victor L. Roy III, a Baton Rouge lawyer and avid bluewater, speckled trout, and redfish angler, kept a family camp in Venice for years, making the weekend trip from Baton Rouge nearly every week. When Brent graduated LSU at 21, his father told him, “We have enough lawyers. Need more fishermen!” — and a career was born.

Trips target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Largemouth Bass, and Black Drum inshore, and Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Blue Marlin, Tuna, and Wahoo offshore, along with dedicated Bull Red and Tuna fishing trips and seasonal duck hunting. Captain Brent knows the industry has changed significantly over the past decade, with far more choices now available — but emphasizes that time on the water and real experience make the difference, aiming to make every trip a genuinely memorable one.

Inshore rates run $1,150 for 1-3 people, $1,400 for 4, or $1,550 for 5 (5-person max on inshore boats); Red Snapper can be added to an inshore trip for an additional $300 per boat, per day. Offshore rates run $2,550 plus fuel for up to 6 people. Deposits are non-refundable.

Guest testimonials consistently praise Captain Brent’s personable, knowledgeable approach and uncanny local knowledge of where the fish will be, with reviewers describing multiple great trips and consistently strong catches.

For anglers looking for a deeply experienced, more than 30-year veteran inshore or offshore fishing charter in Venice, Louisiana, Venice Charters offers a well-established operation with Captain Brent Roy.
