Live Like a Local Boat Charters – Dunedin 

We had an unforgettable 4-hour inshore fishing trip with Angelo and his crew. From the moment we stepped on the boat, they went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The action was nonstop — we absolutely slayed the trout and even landed a monster snook, just barely missing the inshore slam! As an experienced angler, I was impressed with how efficient and attentive the crew was — I never had to wait for fresh bait or help. But what really stood out was how they treated my son and father-in-law, who are both new to fishing. Angelo made sure they felt confident, comfortable, and fully part of the experience. By the end of the trip, they were casting and catching like pros. Angelo clearly knows the water, the fish, and how to create a great time for everyone onboard. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing charter that combines skill, professionalism, and genuine hospitality — this is it. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Being new to saltwater fishing, I had no idea that the best time to fish was related to the tides, unlike where I'm from, it's timed on early morning/late evening for lake/river fishing before it gets too hot. Our charter was early morning at low tide, so the hot spots were not hitting like they do at high tide. Regardless, we loved being out on the water and were there for the experience and Angelo did not disappoint. I love that he took the time to share his knowledge with my son and we learned interesting history and facts about the area. We ended up booking another charter with Angelo for my son the next day at high tide, and the catches started coming in. Angelo cleaned and bagged our catch for us to to take home and enjoy and provided some tips on the best way to cook it up. It sure was tasty!! Thank you so much, Angelo, for the amazing time! We enjoyed every moment and appreciate all the effort you put into making it special for my son. Now that I understand the timing of the charter to the tide, we will definitely plan our next one better. See you soon!!

Highly recommend this guided fishing trip! Captain Angelo is a true professional—kind, respectful, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to help each of us and genuinely wanted us to catch fish. The boat was clean, well-organized, and comfortable. Communication before the trip was quick and reliable, which made planning easy. We caught some great fish and had an awesome time on the water. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!
