Nick’s Salty Adventures
+17Book your next trip with Nick’s Salty Adventures and find out what makes the fishing in Belleair Bluffs so unique. With Captain Nick at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Tripletail, Blacktip Shark, Goliath Grouper, Sheepshead, Hogfish, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Scallop, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Lane Snapper, and more could be biting if you cast your line at the right time of year. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Any fish you catch are yours to take home, provided they’re within size and bag limits. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home and throw it right into the pan. Now that’s dinner!
Your trip begins aboard a 26’ Catamaran with room for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, which means all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach! Some essentials you’ll want to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask.
Your trip with Nick’s Salty Adventures is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Great day with Captain Nick
2hr Short Trip on June 25, 2024
My wife and I scheduled a half day trip with our two grandchildren (10 & 15)and we couldn't be more pleased. Nick was great at communicating with us throughout the experience. His boat was immaculate and the equipment was top notch. Nick was very friendly and shared his vast personal knowledge with us throughout the day. He put us on fish from the time our lines hit the water! June weather in Florida can be fickle and Nick's knowledge and concern for the safety of my family are to be commended. I personally like to thank Nick for a great day and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a charter in the Clearwater area!

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 21, 2024
Captain Nick is awesome! He took me, my wife, 9 year old and 6 year old daughters out for an amazing trip. My kids and wife don’t have a lot of experience on the water and Captain Nick put us on the fish instantly. I have some explaining to do as to why I come home empty handed more often than not! He made sure to keep the kids baited up and lines in the water for the most amount of time possible. We booked a four hour charter and caught 7-10 species of fish (I lost count) and conservatively 60 fish in total. My only regret about this trip is I didn’t book something longer so that after the cooler was full we could go hang out on an island for a couple hours. Parents with kids, I highly recommend booking with Captain Nick. A truly unforgettable trip. Thank you Captain!

Captain Nick was great!
2hr Short Trip on August 2, 2024
We had a great time with Captain Nick. Everyone caught fish, he was very informative and friendly. It was very laid back. He cleaned our fish for us and we took it to a nearby restaurant for lunch since we were traveling and not able to take it home. Great experience!
