Based out of Clearwater, FL, HIGH TIDE Saltwater Charters is in the optimal position to take you nearshore and offshore fishing. Bordering the Gulf, you’ll be on the open seas in no time, and you’ll get to take advantage of the rich fishing opportunities immediately. Led by Captain Derek Morris, you’ll be in safe, considerate hands. A passionate angler, he feels his main responsibility is making sure that you leave the boat with a smile on your face.
You’ll cast off of a 35’ Custom Crusader offshore sport fishing boat that was built, simply, to cruise the Gulf of Mexico. The 380 HP Cummins diesel engine will purr as you speed along to the productive fishing spots. This is surely one of the fastest boats in the harbor. It comes equipped with more amenities than you could wish for, including ample seating, a lunch booth, resting bunks, and, last but not least, a bathroom.
Trips run up to 20 miles offshore and you’ll get to hit the deep seas, as well as the numerous reefs and wrecks leading up to the open ocean. These are prime congregating spots for numerous fish to feed and hide from predators. Using the latest Daiwa rods and reels, you’ll be mainly bottom fishing or trolling to reel in any number of Groupers, Snappers, Hogfish, King Mackerel, Barracuda, and many more!
HIGH TIDE Saltwater Charters can take a maximum of 6 passengers, guaranteeing each guest the simple luxury of plenty of elbow room, both inside and out. With a downstairs steering station, you’re assured of a personable day with the captain and crew. Add to that the personal attention of the experienced captain and crew with over a decade of fishing the Gulf Of Mexico, and you’re in for an unforgettable day. Get on the Gulf!

3/4 Day Trip
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Fishing Trip! This trip was absolutely amazing! We booked a six-hour charter and made every minute count. By the end of the trip, we caught 78 fish—not even counting the ones we released—and to top it off, we caught a shark, which made the experience unforgettable! Captain Derek and his crew were awesome—professional, fun, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for your next fishing adventure!

The weather was not the best the prior days with the wind making the shore water rough. Wind changed direction and we decided to go out. We were one of the few boats out that day and proceeded to catch 25 fish in the first 3 hours. We caught Spanish mackerel and had a great experience. I would do it again!
