Located off the sunny shores of Clearwater, Florida, Gulfstream Charters offers an exceptional private fishing adventure aboard the Gulf Stream II, a spacious 51-foot vessel perfect for groups of all sizes. Clearwater Beach is famous for its clear waters and abundant marine life, making it a hotspot for sportfishing enthusiasts. Gulfstream Charters has been part of this local community for over 50 years, creating memorable experiences for families, friends, and fishing aficionados alike.
What sets Gulfstream Charters apart is the dedicated service from Captain Brad and First Mate Kyle, who bring deep knowledge of local waters and fishing hotspots to every outing. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, they make sure you're rigged up with bait and gear so you spend maximum time fishing rather than preparing. Guests have hauled in diverse catches from hogfish to mangrove snapper and grunt, creating not only a productive trip but one full of excitement and learning.
Beyond the great catch, the boat’s layout offers comfort with shaded awnings protecting from the strong sun, and ample room for parties of up to 12. The crew takes care of the hard work—baiting hooks, unhooking fish, and even filleting your catch so you can enjoy fresh seafood at the end of the day. The proximity to Crabby’s Dockside makes it easy to have your catch transformed into a Southern fish fry, enhancing the local culinary scene.
The waters off Clearwater offer more than just fishing; they’re home to unique marine habitats and seasonal movements of fish species, providing a dynamic and rewarding experience. This family-owned business combines genuine hospitality with expert local knowledge and a passion for fishing, proving why Gulfstream Charters remains a standout choice for anglers visiting Florida’s Gulf Coast.
