St. Petersburg has a fish with your name on it, so let Beachside Charters help you catch it! Captain Dan will be your guide, so you’ll benefit from years of local experience.

These waters are known for Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Ladyfish, Gag Grouper, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Blacktip Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" On the day of your trip, you’re likely to freeline live bait, troll or bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You’re welcome to take home some of the fish you catch within the legal limit. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home and throw it right into the pan. Have a cooler ready in the car!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 22’ Sea Hunt with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.
It is powered by a 200HP Yamaha and equipped with not only Simrad Electronics but also a GPS spot lock Trolling Motor and 8-ft Power Pole.
Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is included.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

It’s never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Your trip includes a few drinks on board.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Beachside Charters is just a click away.

Book with Dan! He’s the best of the best!
3 Hour Beginner Fishing Trip on July 26, 20251 adult1 child
Captain Dan was an outstanding guide who made our fishing charter an unforgettable experience. As a local to the St. Petersburg, FL area, he knew exactly where to go to put us on the fish quickly. My 12-year-old son was really hoping to catch a shark—and thanks to Dan, we ended up catching FIVE in just a few hours, along with a variety of other species! Dan’s knowledge, patience, and overall vibe made the trip both exciting, educational, and memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and successful day on the water. He truly helped create a special memory for me and my son.

Capt Dan was very responsive to pre-trip questions, where he'd be and at what time. Boat was very clean with cooler for personal beverages/food and storage. We didn't limit out, but caught a variety of fish to make the trip fun. Give Captain Dan a try!

Fishing and Island adventure!
Full day fishing and island stops on September 20, 20252 adults2 children
We spent 8 hours with Capt. Dan & we were sad for it to end. He's super chill, fun, great with kids, extremely knowledgeable about the areas he takes you fishing and super accommodating with the boat time. We didn't have to wait long at all to start catching fish. Broke up the fishing with some island time and it could not have been a better day! Highly recommend!! We will be seeing him again when we head back to Florida.

Captain Dan - Beachside Charters
4 Hour Evening Fishing Trip on June 7, 20253 adults
I'm a Florida native that grew up fishing in the gulf with my father, brother, and others. I moved to Atlanta in 2006 shortly after my son was born. We were visiting my Father in Florida and I wanted my son to have the same experience I had growing up. Captain Dan exceeded my expectations and I couldn't have been more happy with the trip. We will definitely book again.
