Book your next trip with Good Time Charters and find out what makes the fishing in Steinhatchee so unique. With Captain Melissa at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Sheepshead, and more, depending on the time of year. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Children are welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to keep 'em happy!

You'll be welcome aboard a 35' Donzi center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Good Time Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    Great Charter with Great People!

    5 Hour Trip – Sheepshead/ Nearshore on March 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great trip with Good Time Charters. Their passion to catch fish and dedication to serve their clients was both amazing and genuine! They worked hard to make sure we were on the best spots and did not hesitate to make moves as necessary to keep us on the fish. Additionally, they made every effort to provide us the best customer service from making sure we were trying multiple baits which allowed us to catch multiple species as well as quicky securing our catch and helping rebait our poles. My wife, who has some disabilities noted that this was the best charter she had ever been on. Great Customer Service + Great Fishing = Excellent Trip. If you want to have a great trip with great people you have to try Good Time Charters!
