About
Stars & Stripes Charters, LLC, offers full or half day In-Shore / Near-Shore fishing packages. While enjoying fishing you are likely to see Sea Turtles, Sting Rays, Manatees, and even a School of Dolphin playfully following the boat! During Scallop season, we offer both full or half day Scallop excursions. During our cooler months Manatees move into the warm spring fed tributaries, this makes for easy viewing of these amazing animals right from the boat, or if you chose, you may enter the water and interact with them from their point of view.
What We Provide / Additional Things To Think About.
• No Bananas on the boat! • Class I life jackets will be provided. • No need to buy a Florida State Fishing License. You are covered under our License. • We will ordinarily use the livewell to keep your catch fresh. • We will provide you with cold bottled water.
