Great first time bow fishing
The trip was great. The captain is extremely friendly and we had a great time. This was my first time ever bowfishing and I definitely want to pursue it in the future. Definitely would recommend doing this. I hope bring my wife and daughter back soon.

Night outing with Captain Kelly from St. Pete Bowfishing
My dad was visiting from CT and I wanted to take him out bowfishing. Found Captain Kelly - and I’m so glad I did. An outstanding evening! Plenty of shooting with multiple species. Captain Kelly and his first mate, Mike, were excellent. Extremely knowledgeable about the sport, the species, and the area - as well as being great guys. My dad has been bowfishing for over 40 years, and he said it was the best experience he’s ever had. I will definitely be booking with Captain Kelly again!
