Head out for thrilling nearshore and offshore fishing adventure in St. Petersburg, Florida with 'Markin' Fish Charters'! Whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned expert, the trips are designed to fit your specific goals. You'll head out with Captain Mark Fewox, a licensed USCG charter captain with nearly 3 decades of experience.

Hop aboard his 34' Ocean Master center console, known as one of the strongest, best built, and most stable fishing platforms ever made. She's equipped with top-notch navigational electronics and a T-top for when you need a break from the sun. There's also a full head in the center console and plenty of deck space to accommodate up to 6 anglers.

You'll target a variety of Florida fish in the productive waters up to 10 miles offshore. Hook into Blackfin Tuna, Snapper, and King Mackerel in deeper waters, or explore equally fun grounds closer to shore. Here, it's all about Tripletail, Jack Crevalle, and Spanish Mackerel.

Capt. Mark provides all of your tackle and bait and works tirelessly to get you on the fish. At the end of the day, he'll even clean and bag your catch – just be sure to bring a cooler for easy transport home. There's plenty of space in the onboard cooler for any snacks or drinks you bring and there's bottled water and ice already in there.

Leave your glass bottles, bananas, and black sole shoes at home and pack your non-spray sunscreen to stave off the sun. Experience true Florida fishing with a seasoned pro aboard Markin' Fish Charters!

Caught fish at every stop!
3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on August 4, 20263 adults3 children

What a great day with Captain Mark and his mate Chris! I took four kids and myself and they were extremely helpful with the kiddos and their fishing experience. Especially my daughter who got a little see sick. Captain Mark and Chris made great suggestions that were really helpful in turning her day around and making sure her day was as good as could be. She went from crying and wanting to go home to jumping back on the rod and asking if we could go again soon. Thank you guys again for a great time, we’ll be back!!

Amazing Trip
3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on September 20, 20253 adults1 child

Captain, crew and boat are top notch. They had a variety of bait available to suit what the fish were biting that day. They were honest that chances of catching a mahi (for this time of year and near shore) were low, yet when an opportunity presented itself they had gear ready to capitalize on the situation and we caught one. Great memory for our 10yo son who reeled in so many fish he slept the whole way back to the marina. Will definitely book with Markin Fish again!

April fishing trip
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on April 18, 20265 adults

Captain knows where the fish are. Caught about 10 fish trolling then another 15 bottom fishing in a 4 hour charter. We weren’t bringing in any big trophy fish, but it was a great trip to get everyone reeling in some fish. Quick ride out and quick equipment setup. 10/10
