Captain Andy’s Salty Adventures will take you on an excursion through the pristine flats, rivers, and inshore waters of Tampa and St. Petersburg in Florida. Captain Andy Kouris has spent the last 27+ years studying every cove, inlet, and honey hole in the area in order to deliver the best fishing experience to his customers. After fishing with Capt. Andy, you can expect to leave his boat satisfied and wanting to come back for more action!

Your adventure will take place on a Sea Pro SV2100 center console, equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, including navigational electronics, safety gear, fishing tackle, a live bait tank, and a portable toilet. You’ll have an icebox to store your catch, as well as multiple coolers with snacks and cold water. Capt. Andy provides chips, granola, and energy bars on all of his trips to make sure you’ll be energized for the day ahead.

You can expect to target all of your inshore favorites, including Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and more! You may also encounter certain Shark species that like to lurk in shallow waters, such as Lemon and Nurse Sharks. You’ll be provided with top-quality Penn rods and reels and live bait is also included in the price.

Capt. Andy will offer to clean and fillet your catch so it’s ready to be thrown on the grill for a tasty meal after your trip. Your fishing license is also covered. All you need to do is keep your eye on the prize and focus on the catch!

Capt. Andy loves taking families out on the water and particularly enjoys having children aboard. He’s a patient and knowledgeable teacher and nothing makes him happier than being able to pass his passion for fishing down to the younger generation.

If you’re looking for an exciting saltwater adventure in the Tampa and St. Petersburg area, then you’ve come to the right place. Book your next fishing trip with Captain Andy’s Salty Adventures and get ready to create lasting fishing memories!

Kids First Fishing Trip!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 31, 20254 adults
Capt Andy was able to accommodate us after a last minute cancellation by another angler (boat trouble happen sometimes). We were so grateful to get booked with Andy, as my young kids were looking forward to this trip for over a year! Capt Andy replied that he loved working with kids, and his actions greatly reflected that! He was very kind and patient with my two kids (ages 12 and 10). He put us on fish, and made it almost foolproof to catch them! He took great pictures and sent them to us, so my husband and I could focus on fishing ourselves and enjoy the moment. If the fish stopped biting, he would quickly take us to the next spot! He was very knowledgeable and educated us about how the last hurricane impacted the community. You can tell he truly cares about his community and has a passion for what he does. We all caught fish, stayed hydrated (he provided water and snacks-and we went through several bottles of water because it was hot that day- and he wouldn’t just politely ask if we wanted water, but would just hand them out and tell us to drink up- he really took care of us), we had a lovely visit from a dolphin, which was magical in itself for the kids, and he filet our fish for us. He was so kind and patient, I couldn’t have asked for a better captain, especially for the kids! I would definitely fish with him again!

Full Day Trip on July 24, 20252 adults
My son and I decided to cancel our Universal tickets and go on this charter fishing trip and wow what a great decision! Captain Andy and crew were amazing, they taught my son quickly how to cast and fish and took us to several great fishing spots. We caught a dozen or so fish. He shared some area history and introduced us to the local dolphin, manatee’s, and we even got to see a sting ray. Overall excellent trip with the amount of money you spend at Universal I will gladly trade that for fishing with Andy instead. Thank you guys both so much for the one of kind experience. Liz and Maks

Capt Andy was A-Mazing
Quarter Day Late Trip - 2:00 PM on April 27, 20252 adults1 child
Great captain, great knowledge of the water. My family and I did a short 2-hr fishing charter. Capt. Andy was great company and his explained to my 12-yr old why he uses the love shrimp as bait, the correct way to cast, and why fishing sometimes takes a little patience. My wife and I caught the majority of fish initially. Catfish, silver bass but the trip was for our 12-yr old to experience a true fight on the water and to hopefully reel in a monster. Capt Andy did not disappoint and made sure that happened. The last spot we stopped at, after a tough 5-minute fight, our 12-yr old w/ Capt Andy reeled in a 27” Blackdrum. He had to weigh 25+ lbs. but it was truly an awesome experience and Capt Andy wasn’t coming in until he made sure our son had the big catch of the day. Great vibes. Great company and I would highly recommend Capt Andy and his Salty Adventures to anyone whether it’s a 2hr or 1/2 day or Full Day. The guide you want. I will book him each time I am down in St Pete and want to get out on the water and cast a line.

Great Time with Captain Andy
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 20, 20252 adults
We had an absolutely incredible time on our charter fishing trip! The experience far exceeded our expectations — the captain was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to my husband and I making sure we were comfortable and always had what we needed. His expertise really showed; he knew exactly where to go, and before long, we were reeling in fish after fish!
