A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray preffered), electrolyte beverages, and a hat. Water will be available for you on board. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Best charter I’ve ever booked. Captain Marlin is the real deal.
8 Hour Trip on November 7, 2025
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
