Gasparilla Guide Service provides premier inshore and nearshore fishing charters in the waters surrounding Boca Grande, Florida. Our trips are led by native guides who grew up fishing these waters and know them through real experience, not guesswork.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or stepping onto a fishing boat for the first time, our charters are designed to be relaxed, productive, and authentic to the Boca Grande fishing tradition. From the quiet back bays to the powerful currents of Boca Grande Pass, every trip is planned around tides, seasons, and fish behavior rather than a rigid schedule.

Tarpon season is the highlight of the year and books quickly, especially during peak tides. Early reservations are strongly recommended.

In addition to fishing charters, we also offer private Boca Grande boat tours and scenic cruises. Sunset cruises, lunch outings, sightseeing trips, and barrier island exploration are perfect for those looking to enjoy the water at a slower pace. Popular destinations include Cayo Costa, Cabbage Key, and Useppa Island, local favorites for a laid-back day on the water.
