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.

Phenomenal time on the water
Half Day Nearshore Shark Trip (AM) on June 13, 20265 adults

Capt. Mark and Jake were absolutely top notch. We had an unfortunate situation with our originally scheduled charter with another boat, but Capt. Mark and Jake accommodated us last minute and wow are we glad we found them. We caught a ton of sharks including some very big ones. We also learned so much about shark biology and got to witness tagging firsthand. I simply cannot say enough good things about the experience and the crew. We would book with them again in a heartbeat.

Half Day Nearshore Shark Trip (PM) on June 26, 20263 adults1 child

Capt Mark was an excellent guide and steward. He contacted us the day we booked to go over the plan and ensure we were okay with everything, weather was looking iffy. We caught three sand tiger sharks and had an absolute blast! Wonderful family adventure and will for sure be booking again.

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!

Getting up close to Sharks
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!
