    Amazing family fishing trip with Captain Peter

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on October 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Wish we had booked longer. We had a great time and caught tons of fish. My kids loved everything from the boat ride to catching all kinds of fish. Highly recommend it if you are looking to do so while vacationing here. We will be back!

    6 Hour Tarpon Trip on May 6, 2026

    I have taken many charters with captain Peter, and it’s always a blast. Made everything very easy. Tied all lines, set you up with bait, and even casted us in the good spots! My most recent one was a 6hr tarpon trip, and it didn’t disappoint. Caught my very first big tarpon! I highly recommend fishing with captain Peter.

    We only booked a 3 hour trip and still caught 9 different species. Included a shark and stingray. Captain Peter made sure everyone was having fun while also putting us on some great fish! We will be back for another charter no doubt!

    4 hour fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip on April 8, 2026

    Booked a 4-hour fishing trip with Captain Peter and had an awesome time. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. We caught several snook and redfish, and he worked hard to keep us on fish the entire trip. Great experience overall and I’d definitely book with him again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and successful day on the water.
