Double Time Inshore/offshore Fishing welcomes you to the stunning waters of St. Petersburg. With Captain Kevin and team at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Great Barracuda, Black Drum, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Red Grouper, Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Kevin can also help you try kite fishing.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 26' Calcutta center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. All rods and reels will be provided for you and the rest of your group, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

A few items to bring include bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Amazing 1st Experience
6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore - 1:00 PM on April 3, 20264 adults

Amazing deep sea fishing experience from start to finish. Luke(our captain)was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made our 1st deep sea fishing experience one to remember. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. Luke knew exactly where to go, and we were catching fish in no time, even got to catch a shark! On top of that, the scenery out on the water was absolutely beautiful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Coming home with great memories, some awesome catches, and a big smiles and two very happy teenage boys! Will definitely be going again. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and rewarding day on the water!

Great fishing charter!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 3, 20264 adults1 child

Our family had a great fishing trip with Captain Christian! He knew where to find the fish and was able to work around the storms to keep us catching fish. We stayed nearshore because of the weather and caught trout, flounder, grouper, black sea bass and ladyfish. The kids are already asking when they can go fishing with Captain Christian again!

Wasn’t the greatest day for fishing because of the weather. But Captain Luke is top notch. Outstanding young man.
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on April 9, 20264 adults1 child

It was a little chilly and a little windy, but Captain Luke did his best to put us on the fish. I believe you went above and beyond what he needed to do. Would definitely recommend these guys. Thanks again great day on the water. “ a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work“
