Half Day Trip - Offshore (AM)
My son and I were looking for a good fishing adventure. We hire Captain Mark services. Initially we have booked for a 1/2 day am, but unfortunately weather was not good, we followed Captain Mark suggestion and rescheduled for the next day a 3/4 day pm. We appreciate the advise of the Captain, otherwise the experience wouldn’t been as fun and pleasant as it was. My son (11) is very into fishing, he had a lot of questions and Captain Mark was great addressing all of them. I truly recommend hiring Barracudaville/Captain Mark services. We were able to catch a vast variety of fishes, including some large king mackerel.

Half Day Trip - Offshore (AM)
Our trip went perfectly and we would absolutely recommend Captain Mark to anyone considering a fishing trip in the Tampa/St Pete area. He was knowledgeable, organized, and safe. While we had hoped to make it out for some offshore fishing, Captain Mark explained the day’s weather forecast and projected conditions and he suggested we stay in the bay for some local fishing. That was absolutely the right call as the wind picked up and the swells offshore would’ve been too much. We had a blast fishing in the bay and everyone on our trip caught multiple fish. If we’re in the region again we’re definitely coming back to see Captain Mark!

Full Day 40/50 Miles 4 client max.
Mark was amazing. 2 out of 4 us got seasick about 25 miles out. He didn’t blink an eye. Said we can pivot and do some nearshore fishing which we did and had a great day and brought back a cooler full of fish!

3/4 Day Trip - Offshore
Captain Maloney is a very knowledgeable Captain. He knows where to go to get what you want. Unfortunately, none of us can guarantee the fish you want will be there, but he puts you on fish. Be ready to fight because he's not putting you on little fish. Thanks Captain Maloney at barracudaville. I will be back.

Half Day Trip - Offshore (PM)
We had an incredible day on the water with BarracudaVille. We had a nice day to fish and they were biting all day. Captain Mark went above and beyond, he always made sure we had bait on our hooks, and was right there to take the fish off need be. He recommended a place to take our fish prepared to eat and had them cleaned up in no time for us to get them cooked up. Our group highly recommends BarracudaVille, we hope to get the chance again.
