Join Captain Phillip Haley on board their 24’ center console, manufactured by the Avenger company. She’s powered by a beast of an engine, a 300 HP Suzuki. That allows you to travel across the water at a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots, you’ll waste no time traveling! A wireless trolling motor and live bait well are on board to give you an edge in catching that trophy fish. Don’t worry about fighting a huge Tarpon or Shark, a fighting chair is there to give you added support.
You will target a variety of prestigious fish that live in the area, like the famous Silver King, Permit, Goliath Grouper, as well as Bull and Hammerhead Sharks. You’ll have the chance to try out a variety of fishing techniques, like spinning, jigging, bottom fishing, and trolling, all while using light and heavy tackle. Live bait is available and can be prepared in advance.
There’s no minimum age policy with Tarpon Tamer Fishing Charters. Anglers of all ages and skill levels are invited to join this exciting fishing adventure! The first mate will clean, fillet, and bag your catch for you. He works for tips only, so gratuity is greatly appreciated. The charter will provide you with all required equipment. Customers are advised to bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, adequate clothing, and a waterproof camera.

You will not find a better or more experienced captain at Boca Grande. We fished two days with captain Phil on the 10 hour trips. Boat was in great condition, mate (Tim) extremely helpful, and the fishing was awesome! We will fish with Captain Phil and his counter part captain Jeff again that is for sure. Thank you both for making our trip so enjoyable. Steve from Las Vegas
