Santa Maria Fishing Charter is here to help you experience the stunning waters of Santa Maria. Your guide for the day is Captain Pietro, which allows you to benefit from years of local experience.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Blue Marlin, Tiger Shark, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Sailfish, Giant Trevally, Blue Shark, Amberjack, and plenty more. On these trips, you can expect to troll.
Trips with Santa Maria Fishing Charter are open to the whole family, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You’re welcome to bring snacks!
Your adventure begins aboard a 33’ Bertram sportfishing vessel with capacity for 10 passengers. It has outriggers, a fighting chair, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
A few items to bring include a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is not allowed. There will be some light snacks available on board.

Captain and crew were very helpful and friendly - started the day off well with bottom fishing and all the while we hooked onto, not one but, two tiger shark!! It was an amazing experience and would recommend to other keen fishermen. These guys know what they are doing. Fully recommended.

The crew of this boat works hard to ensure you the best fishing experience. You get your own rod so you can enjoy the all day fishing action. Fresh bait. The crew created a great bait trail to attract sharks, we quickly spotted them near the boat. Friendly crew, patient and very helpfull. The captain himself even took the time to improve my fishing skills!

Lost three tiger sharks in a row (one very big) but we kept going and caught one towards the end of the day making it an incredible experience overall.
