Angel Fish Charters is a St. Petersburg, Florida-based boat charter company specializing in short recreational cruises and specialized services on Boca Ciega Bay. The company offers a selection of guided outings including Sunset Cruise, Sunrise Cruise, Dolphin Cruise, Cruise to your Dining Experience, and a Scattering of Ashes service (no passengers). Each experience is designed for small groups and focuses on scenic viewing and wildlife observation on protected bay waters.
Sunset Cruise and Dolphin Cruise each run approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, offering opportunities to view bay sunsets and local marine life such as dolphins and manatees. The Sunrise Cruise provides a peaceful early-morning outing lasting just over an hour for meditation, reflection, or photography. The Cruise to your Dining Experience is a longer, four-hour trip that transports guests across Boca Ciega Bay to waterside restaurants in St. Petersburg. The Scattering of Ashes (No Passengers) service provides a respectful sea scattering with a certificate documenting the name, date, and location of the scattering.
Angel Fish Charters emphasizes safety, punctuality, and respect for the marine environment while operating in St. Petersburg waters. Scheduling and booking details are available directly through the business. By offering clear trip lengths, focused experiences, and a dedicated scattering option, Angel Fish Charters serves visitors and locals seeking memorable, nautical outings on Boca Ciega Bay.
Trips depart from St. Petersburg and explore Boca Ciega Bay's sheltered waters, providing accessible, low-impact outings suitable for photography, wildlife watching, quiet reflection, and special dining transfers across the bay comfortably.
