Welcome aboard Imperial Sportfishing. Captain Garrett Mcfall is a born native of St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay area. He became a captain at 18 and has since run fishing boats of all shapes and sizes, turning his passion into a profession. A lifetime of experience and knowledge guarantees you the chance at that trip you won't forget. Come discover this amazing ecosystem and habitat with Imperial Sportfishing!

Your adventure takes place on a restored 23' Mako center console that can sit up to 5 anglers. Running on a 250 HP Yamaha engine with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots, the boat will quickly take you to the fishing grounds, so you'll waste no time traveling.

Whether stalking Snook and Redfish in the backwaters and the bay or hunting for Tarpon, Kingfish, and Sharks along the beaches and passes, there's no telling what might be on the end of your line! Apart from the species mentioned, you can also go after Hogfish, Speckled Trout, Jack Crevalle, and more. The techniques you can expect to use to attract fish include bottom fishing and spinning on a mixture of light and heavy tackle. You can choose if you want to keep your catch or return it back to the water.

Capt. Garret covers you for all the fishing tackle, bait, licenses, drinks, and provides a catch cleaning and filleting service. Bring nothing but the snacks you want to keep yourself energized and you'll be set to go.

Imperial Sportfishing is waiting for you, hop aboard and make some incredible memories on the water in this stunning corner of Florida!
