Gulf View Island Adventures offers a wide variety of charters to accommodate all skill levels, ages, and group sizes. Your guide for the day is Captain Eric and his goal is to provide you with an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime! From fishing charters, to sunset tours, sightseeing, island excursions, and even scalloping. We got you covered from Tarpon springs to Hernando Beach with over 15 years experience!

Your day begins aboard a 24’ Avenger AV24 center console with capacity for up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Eric will provide rods and reels for you, along with live bait and artificial lures.

We will be fishing inshore & nearshore in water from 2ft-15ft deep. Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, Pompano, Sheepshead, Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, Tarpon, Tripletail, and who knows what else! Scalloping trips available during scallop season.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. We will clean your catch for free!

The coolers will be iced down but It’s recommended that you bring water and any snacks/food you’d like for the day. As well as sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles for safety purposes.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Gulf View Island Adventures is just a click away.

Awesome Fishing Charter Trip during our June Vacation
Half Day Trip – Inshore on June 27, 20254 adults1 child
Gulf View Island Adventure’s was a great fishing excursion on our vacation to Hernando Beach, FL. Prior to meeting the captain, we communicated digitally to ensure a great trip. We set sail promptly at 9 AM after adjusting the schedule a bit to allow high tide to come into the bay. This allowed us better fishing opportunities than leaving earlier at 8 AM in the flats and mangroves. The captain took us out quickly to the flats, preparing all the lines, and rods with bait fish, and insuring bait and rods were in the water as much as possible. He also provided help and hits for our family and kids. He provided history about the houses in the bay on stilts. Being the summer, we didn’t expect the best catches in the hot water, but we caught sea trout for the first half of the trip. On the 2nd half, the change in departure was key in hitting up the mangroves. The extra hour allowed the captain to enter the mangroves allowing clearance for his boat in shallow water; he knew the best chances of success, where the locations were, and how to provide great experience for his guests. We also took his advice on what to catch instead of targeting a certain species. Each member caught fish, sea trout and redfish. The last 3 fish were all red fish keepers providing an awesome fight for our teenagers and grandfather. The trip was an overall great experience and highly recommend Gulf View Island Adventures for your fishing charters in the Gulf near Hudson Bay.

Great day for being out on water!
Half Day Trip – Inshore on July 17, 20255 adults
While the fish weren't biting a lot, Captain Eric did everything he could to be sure we were in the best spots we could be. He was super personable and fun. I appreciated the fact he was up front the day before and told us due to heat and temp of water, fish may not be biting much. We all caught something and will definitely be back!
