Gulfcoast Fishing Charters offers amazing fishing adventures year-round! Captains Bobby is a sixth-generation Floridian and fishing has been a huge part of his life since childhood.
This is a family-friendly charter and Gulfcoast Fishing Charters always gives its best to tailor its trips around the interests, special needs, and age of its guests. Since taking kids fishing is one of their favorite things to do, there is no minimum age policy for them – everybody's welcome. Gulfcoast Fishing Charters supplies safety equipment, but please bring a life jacket for your kid if they're under 2 years old.
Head out on the captain's 25' Sea Hunt, newly built in 2022. This fishing machine is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine that can reach a maximum speed of 40 knots, taking you swiftly to the best fishing spots. The vessel is perfect for this area, as it's equally efficient in one-foot shallow flats and in deep offshore waters. It's comfortable and reliable and has all the latest electronics. The boat accommodates up to 6 guests and everybody can fish at the same time.
Your captain will take you fishing in the inshore and nearshore waters around St. Pete's Beach. You can go after acrobatic Tarpon, search for the big schools of Redfish, fight Speckled Trout, or reel in voracious Snook. You can also fish for Cobia, Sheepshead, Snapper, Giant Sharks, or Black Drum – you just never know what's going to bite your bait! This is not a 'Deep Sea' fishing charter. My trips are casual, calm water, fun sport fishing. If you are looking to go way out and fill a cooler; search for a specically 'offshore' trip as that is not what I provide.
Gulfcoast Fishing Charters will prepare your fishing equipment and live bait, while you should bring your drinks and snacks. The captain will also clean and fillet your catch after the trip.
Book your spot with Gulfcoast Fishing Charters and have a day to remember!

Perfect day !
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 1, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child
Thanks to Captain Bobby for a great day! He was fantastic - super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly knows the waters around St. Pete’s. He had us fishing at four different spots and made the whole experience fun and seamless for our family. He recommended we go to Rick’s Reef to cook our catches - it was the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommend booking!

Family fun day on the water
3 Hour Trip – Afternoon Fun on October 14, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
My father (68) wanted to fish in the ocean with his grandchildren (ages 12 & 14). My husband and I joined in thr fun as well. the children had fished in lakes before, but never the ocean. We booked the trip so we not only had a boat with equipment, but also a captain that could give us tips and knew the lay of the land. Our trip was exactly what we were looking for! The boat was perfect for our crew with everything we needed to have a fun morning fishing. Captain Bobby was fun, personable, and knowledgable. The 3 hrs flew by and we caught a variety of fish. We loved seeing dolphins and reeling in a shark. We would take this trip again and recommend it to all ages and skill levels of those wanting a few fun hours fishing the ocean!

Great day on the water with Captain Bobby!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 19, 2025 • 6 adults
Our experience with Captain Bobby was fantastic. He insured that our original day was rescheduled due to weather and was very easy to communicate with. The location was easy to find with free parking. Bobby was so easy-going and knew so much about the area and fishing locations. We told him our goal of the day was to bring home dinner (we had never done that before) and man did he deliver! We had a beautiful boat ride to different locations and caught so many species of fish. Extra bonus, we had a dolphin swimming next to the boat, saw a manatee, turtles and so many birds! He prepared all of our fish for us and we had the best dinner ever! Thanks again Captain!

AMAZING DAY!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 15, 2025 • 2 adults
I have chartered boats all over the globe, and this was top notch! Captain Robert got us right on the fish first thing this morning within minutes of leaving the dock. We caught multiple species of fish, a stingray, and a 30lb Shark. He spotted dolphins, and took the time to circle back to have them follow and swim in the wake of the boat. He also took us to see a Manatee that he spotted on our way back. I highly recommend this charter! He brought a really nice clean boat, great gear, tons of bait, and lot of experience. We will be re-booking again next year for sure!
