About
When you want a little more adventure on the water, all-day fishing expeditions are for you. We head out for a full day of charter fishing, often more than 20 miles out, off the Florida coast of the Gulf of Mexico. We will be looking for grouper and snapper, which are the sought after catches, but our expedition could change depending on what's biting that day. The captain's local knowledge and experience helps YOU CATCH FISH!
** To target red snapper you will need at least a 10 hour charter, a 12 hour charter is even better. Please contact our booking office directly at 727-442-3005 to book an extended full day charter for red snapper (seasonally)**
The prices for deep water fishing trips include licenses, rods and tackle, including bait, as well as cleaning of your catch.
