Heads Up

It’s a private charter, so the cost is per boat, not per person, and it’s more than a party boat. Prices aren’t posted online, so check the booking calendar or call. Offshore trips can get rough on windy days.

What to Expect

Deep sea: 4, 6 and 8-hour trips, plus extended days, shark fishing, goliath grouper and seasonal red snapper.
Inshore: 2-hour kids trip, plus 3, 4, 6 and 8-hour trips and seasonal tarpon.
Boats: 32-foot Contender (offshore) and 24-foot Triton bay boat (inshore), both with a bathroom on board.
Included: fishing licenses, rods, reels, tackle, bait, safety gear, and cleaning and bagging your catch.

Good to Know Before You Book

Bring food, drinks, sunscreen and a cooler for your fish.
Take seasickness medicine the night before if you’re prone to it, especially for offshore trips.
Call (727) 243-4082 for pricing and the meeting spot.
