Ticket Box Fishing Company 

Captain Marlin has it going on. Great trip start to finish. Put us on some good eating fish. We went to a place that Captain Marlin recommended . We went to Leverock’s Great Seafood for them to cook our catch. All around it was an excellent day. Will definitely book with him again.

We booked a 12-hour trip with Ticket Box Fishing Company and Captain Mike in Tampa, and it was hands down one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had. Captain Mike is the real deal - knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. From the moment we left the dock, he had a plan and put us on fish consistently throughout the entire day. A 12-hour trip is no joke, but he kept the energy up, made sure everyone was comfortable, and worked hard nonstop to make it a successful outing. If you like riding in style and having the best of the best, this is the boat to be on. Yellowfins are one of the most luxurious fishing boats money can buy. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and everything was organized and ready to go. Whether you’re experienced or newer to offshore fishing, Captain Mike explains things clearly and makes sure you’re set up for success. If you’re looking for a serious fishing trip in Tampa with a captain who knows these waters and works hard for his clients, Ticket Box Fishing Company is 100% the move. We’ll absolutely be booking again.

Boat was fast, smooth, and made for fishing. Captain was super nice, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on fish. Tropical storm Bertha did its best to disrupt the whole operation. Despite that, I still had sore wrist from reeling and my boys had a great time. Fish dinner back at the rental was awesome. Highly recommend.

Amazing day on the water with Captain M !!! So much knowledge of the area and the different fish and techniques!!!! Great day Thank you Ants

Amazing half day trip with Captain Marlin. This was my second time going out with the Ticket Box Fishing company and they put us on the meat. If your in Madeira Beach wanting to go offshore fishing you should book them

Even with the wind whipping and the seas being choppy captain Marlin still managed to put us on the fish big time! Every time we dropped a line we were guaranteed a bite. It was by far the best charter I’ve ever been on!!

I booked an 8 hour offshore trip with Ticket Box Fishing Company and it turned into one of those days you don’t forget. I’m a veteran and I’ve fished with a lot of captains over the years, so it takes a lot to impress me. Captain Marlin did that and more. He wasn’t just a strong captain, he was humble, patient, passionate about fishing, and he actually taught me things instead of just driving the boat and baiting hooks. We ran out on their 36ft Yellowfin and the boat is a beast. Smooth, clean, tons of room and rigged with good gear. We got into fish fast and stayed on them most of the day. Hit our limit of red grouper, picked up a nice spread of mangrove and lane snapper, and then the moment I’ll remember forever: my first cobia. Marlin coached me through the fight start to finish. That fish measured 35.5 inches. Just short to keep, but what a rush. The price was more than fair for a day like that. I walked off the boat with a cooler full of meat and I honestly felt like a better angler than when I stepped on board. If you want a real fishing experience with someone who cares about the trip and the people on it, book with Captain Marlin. I’m already looking at dates to go again.

Man captain Marlin is the man. We skater the Red Grouper and Lane Snapper. The boat is a beast and he is one of the most knowledgeable offshore captains in this area. Book him if you want to slay some dinner in Treasure Island Florida

The captain worked hard in some rough weather, and we caught a lot of fish. His boat was fantastic for getting through large waves with little issue. Although the weather kept us from going all of the way out, he put us on numerous spots. He is very friendly and works hard. The boat has a very large bow, so you are never cramped. I highly recommend.

We had a close to shore trip today and it was great. It was four of us and we had plenty of room on the boat. Marlin did a great job today and he put us on fish all day. It was a great day and experience for us all. I would recommend this trip for the first time charter guest. We had such an amazing experience and I am so glad we hooked up when th marlin rice.
