All types of anglers have the opportunity to fish the waters out of Palmetto successfully with Florida Fishing Charters. A seasoned Captain and first mate, they welcome you and your family to join in the adventure and catch some fish!

Captain Jim Teeter, the owner of the company, has over three decades of fishing experience. With him you’ll be able to grow as an angler and master your cast, learn about the local ecosystem, and come back to shore with fish in the box.

Share your fishing tales and check the bite close to the coast as you hunt the rich inshore waterways. You can explore the nearshore water or head up to 9 miles out on longer trips (weather-permitting) to land bigger fish. Get your hands on anything from Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and Amberjack to King Mackerel, Snapper, Grouper, Flounder, Sharks, and Key West grunts.

All of that will happen aboard a 36’ Al Dhaen center console. Powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha engines, this fast vessel comes complete with an autopilot, a radar, state of the art Furuno electronics, and other professional accessories. There is also a full toilet with a sink aboard, along with plenty of comfortable seating to keep you relaxed and refreshed all day long.

All rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, licenses, will be waiting onboard, so all you have to do is pack your lunch and hop onboard. Fantastic Florida fishing awaits you – inshore, nearshore, and offshore – with Florida Fishing Charters. Come and make the most of it.

Excellent Day Fishing
Half Day Nearshore/Inshore on August 8, 2026 • 6 adults

Captain Jim provides an excellent fishing experience, plus he’s a first class gentleman. I would highly recommend him. He patiently helped my son’s wife, who has very little experience, and in no time she had landed three fish. He also knew exactly where to go to get lots of activity for us. He taught us about the wide variety of species we caught, including getting a close up of an inflated puffer fish. He had a cooler with ice ready for our drinks, and at the end he filleted all the fish we caught. It was a perfect family outing. Thanks, Captain Jim!

Great Charter Experence - Beginning to End
3/4 Day Nearshore/Inshore on May 7, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Capt Jim and Ben were great. We caught a ton of fish and had a great time. Jim and Ben are great guys and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. Jim was committed to putting and keeping us on the fish - we caught 23 keepers and threw several back. The 36’ boat is not to be overlooked itself - giving us plenty of room to move around and fish; so much nicer than being on top of each other constantly in smaller boats. My family loved it and cant wait to go again. Highly recommend Jim and Ben!

Second to none, awesome trip!
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on November 23, 2025 • 5 adults

The trip was a huge success. The boat rides fantastic, has good speed, and is fun just to cruise on in general. The boat has plenty of room so with the 5 people we had in our group, we still had plenty of room to move with no issues. The fishing itself was great, caught everything from snapper, to hogfish, to 5 flounders of significant size. Flounder was out of season so had to throw back, but was an awesome trip and fun to catch regardless. Highly would recommend this charter and this captain. Could not he happier with the anount of fosh we got to bring home and the fish we caught. Best charter I have ever been on.

Fantastic Trip
Half Day Nearshore/Inshore (copy) on December 27, 2025 • 5 adults

4hr Inshore/Nearshore pm trip. Captain Jim was very personable and informative. Firstmate Ben was kept busy baiting lines because we were catching so many fish! The boat was spacious and clean. Captain Jim provided so many extras that made the trip even more enjoyable such as bean bags to sit on for the trip out and in, a cooler full of water, a dry compartment for our bags, a bathroom and entertaining stories and information about the fish we will catch and the area. When more family comes to visit we are definitely booking with Captain Jim and Ben again! Highly recommend!

Great family outing
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on October 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Jim and Ben took great care of us. We had bad weather coming in and Jim reached out to reschedule our trip. We had beautiful weather and a great day on the boat, and fish to eat for dinner. Thank you for putting smiles on everyone’s faces.

    Captain Jim was awesome! Friendly, and so informative. First Mate Ben is the best! He has so much patience. We were a group of 4, 2 of us had no fishing experience at all, however Ben took the time to teach us and show us what to do. We caught so many fish it was great! I highly recommend this charter!

    Captain Jim ws great. Fishing was slow but Jim didn’t give up finding us a spot. Not much cooperation from the sharks who stole our catch on the way to the surface. We managed to get a few in the boat and enjoyed day two fishing with Captain Jim and Ben.

    Our family had a fun and memorable spring break experience! Captain Jim and First-mate Bo were very knowledgeable and helped every step of the way! they made sure we were all having a good time and we each caught several fish (sheephead, spanish mackerel, key west grunt, grouper, pufferfish), including the kids. Our boat ride to and from our nearshore excursion was also enjoyable, we saw several dolphins. we cant wait for our next fishing trip with Captain Jim!
