Join Fish Finder Adventures for an unforgettable shark trip! Whether it’s a family with children who are “crazy about sharks” or a group of seasoned anglers looking to hook into a monster, for more than three decades it has been Capt. Mark’s pleasure to introduce people of all ages to the fascinating world of sharks, without all the misguided hype that usually surrounds these incredible predators.

Captain Mark is committed to presenting sharks to his clients in a safe, fun, educational, family friendly, and professional manner.

Do we catch sharks on every trip? NO we do not! "Fishing-is-fishing" and despite our best effort (which we always give) sometimes they just won’t respond to our baits. Fortunately, not catching sharks is a rare event. But a shark trip with Fish Finder Adventures is so much more than just a “fishing trip.” Capt. Mark’s commitment to sharks has him participating in a number of ongoing shark research projects where they collect data, tag, and perform various procedures to sharks that helps researchers proceed with important studies. This allows his clients a unique opportunity to assist in “real” shark research, while getting a chance to closely examine the sharks before release and sometimes track them after.

The Fish Finder is a 40’ sport fishing charter boat, that provides a clean, safe, and a comfortable ride. There’s more than enough room for 6 anglers. Inside the cabin, the boat has an enclosed toilet, lots of seating, and v-bunks. Outside on deck is a huge fishing cockpit, and even more seating.

These shark trips allow us a wonderful opportunity to combine fishing with shark research and a hands-on educational experience for everyone. The emphasis is on learning about shark biology, research, habitat, and conservation.

Experienced or beginner, child or senior citizen, come share a memorable and educational shark fishing adventure with the crew of Fish Finder Adventures.

Great day on the water!
Half Day Nearshore Shark Trip (PM) on August 11, 20252 adults
Right from the start Mark and Jake were inviting and talkative. A short ride to the fishing area a little wait to a start but once things got going we caught a 7+ft sand shark, a hammer head and a few others. Overall their expierence and knowledge showed the whole time. They did a great job of getting us involved and if you ask questions they explained well and had some funny stories. Really liked that they tagged several of the sharks for research purposes. Overall cant recommend the Fish Finder enough we will defiantly be back. Thank you for a great day on the water!

Half Day Nearshore Shark Trip (AM) on August 15, 20253 adults1 child
Mark's done it all over the years, so leverage his experience to get on some sharks! The Fish Finder is a no-nonsense vessel that's got plenty of room for your group to get in on the action. With multiple lines out - at different depths - you'll potentially get into multiple species. We caught 4 - 2 Dusky's and 2 Spinners - topping out at about 4' in length. Both Mark and Jake were patient and kind to my 2 boys (6 and 9) and really got them involved. Appreciate the trip and memories!

Good day on the water
Half Day Nearshore Shark Trip (AM) on June 12, 20255 adults
Mark is an excellent captain, and Jake is a great first mate. They are both very personable and informative. We were able to catch 3 nice sharks and we had a 10 ft great white come to side of the boat as Jake was bringing in the fish carcasses that were in the water on the side of the boat . It stayed close enough to the boat that they were able to be a tag on it. Coming back to shore, the Blue Angels were practicing overhead and all around us as they were getting ready for an air show on Saturday. A very cool day on the water. 10/10 I would recommend using this charter. Excellent all the way around.

Great Crew and Fun Adventure!
Half Day Nearshore Shark Trip (AM) on July 16, 20253 adults
Even with a slow bite we still caught Sharks! Both Captain Mark and First Mate Jake did everything in their power to make sure we didn’t leave empty handed. Experiencing catching a shark off of a kite was amazing! Not to mention hooking into a nice size Sand Tiger Shark right before ending the day! If you are looking for something different from bay fishing, this is it and we were happy with who we went with!

Half Day Nearshore Shark Trip (AM) on August 30, 20252 adults2 children
My daughter is crazy about sharks and so we went on this trip. She caught about six or seven spinner sharks and saw 2 hammerheads and one large sand bar shark. They got us involved in the research and were very helpful and willing to teach us about the sharks. It was an amazing experience. 10/10 would definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
