Inverted Fishing Charters operates out of Treasure Island, Florida, offering guided tarpon fishing, offshore deep-sea trips, and sunset cruises led by Captain Martin Lane. Captain Martin Lane is a US Coast Guard licensed guide with decades of experience fishing Florida waters and targeting saltwater species ranging from tarpon to Gulf reef fish.
The charter lineup includes 3/4-day tarpon trips, an 8-hour full day tarpon trip, offshore 6- or 8-hour fishing options, and a two-hour sunset cruise. For offshore trips, all fishing gear and required licenses are provided as part of the experience. The sunset cruise includes fuel, ice, and coolers; guests may bring their own food and non-glass beverages.
Safety and local knowledge are core components of the operation. Routes start from Treasure Island with access to Tampa Bay and nearshore Gulf of Mexico waters.
