Best Mothers Day Gift
3 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM on May 10, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

Captain Tony is amazing. The day before he reached directly out to me to offer additional assistance information that helped our trip day run smoother. His choice in areas were both diverse and had plenty of fish. We were able to catch a Snapper and Trout that were dinner worthy for my family all while getting to experience the bay, seeing dolphins, sharks, and stingrays during our fishing time. He was also very knowledgeable and helpful once it came to setting the bait up on the hooks, casting, and giving us some great history lessons about the area. This was a Mother’s Day trip that did not disappoint and as a bonus got some fish for a solid dinner. Thank you Captain!

Outstanding skipper
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 7, 2026 • 4 adults

My son and I booked a half day inshore trip with Captain Tony. Despite a day where fish seemed elusive, Tony’s in depth knowledge of the waters and conditions ensured he put us on fish. He moved us to multiple locations and we ended up with a very successful day. Double figures of fish in the boat and a number of excellent fish. We highly recommend Tony.

My son and I wanted to go out and catch some fish, the Captain did not disappoint. We caught red fish, mangrove snapper, ladyfish, trout, and (almost) 2 good size snook. Had em all the way to the boat, before they decided to spit out the hook. I highly recommend! We will back

We had the most beautiful day!! our captain was awesome showed us all around, was funny, told stories. Caught lots of fish! My favorite part is that we got to see dolphins and a manatee! The manatee came right up to the boat and stuck his head out of the water looked at us and then swim away! it was the coolest thing ever. I've never experienced that before in the wild, so cool

    Tony got us out right on time and as soon as we dropped a line we had fish on. Moved to a different spot and the fish were still biting strong. It was a great experience and we will definitely book with him again. The boat was clean and all the equipment was in good shape. If you’re a beginner or experienced, I would recommend this charter.

    Captain Tony was great - accomodated a last second change to add a fourth member, took us to multiple spots, caught 7 different species, saw manatees, sharks, and dolphins, great conversations about his history in Tampa and fishing in the area. He made the most of a quick 3 hour trip with lots of fish after a cold front, would book again.
