Gulf View Island Adventures
+20Gulf 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.

3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on March 31, 2025
We loved our time fishing with Captain Eric. While the bite was slow, Eric continued to try to get us on fish. We ended up with a nice amount of fish to keep and even more tossed back. He was very knowledgeable and we had a lot of great conversations while on the boat. If you are looking for a great day out on the water, we highly recommend fishing with Eric! Great memories all around!

Half Day Trip – Inshore on May 15, 2025
Our captain was amazing! Fishing was initially slow when we first started out but Eric went several places and even extended our time out to make sure we caught a variety of fish. Eric was very personable, helpful, and ensured we had a great experience. We truly enjoyed our outing and would highly recommend Gulf View Island Adventures!

Half Day Trip – Inshore on April 12, 2025
Had a great day out with Captain Eric. He took us around to various spots. Unfortunately, the fishing the day we went wasn't too good for anyone. We did catch some fish, but only one big enough to bring home. But it still made for a great dinner. We'd 100% go out again with Gulf View Island Adventures.

Scalloping Adventures - great day with Captain Eric!
1/2 Day Trip – Scalloping on August 3, 2024
Captain Eric was so great from pre-trip communication to being willing to start early (to beat the weather) to his pristine boat and equipment! With Pasco closing their scallop season early, Captain Eric was still willing to take our family out heading north. We had a great day finding scallops and after not filling the bucket, he took us to some of his favorite fishing haunts! Great day, great captain, great boat! We will be booking with him again!
