Angler's Dream Fishing invites you aboard for the best offshore fishing there is near the coast of St. Pete Beach, Florida! Venture up to 14 miles out and fish in some of Florida's famous reefs and wrecks, where the most exciting fish like to hide!

Picture yourself aboard a 56' Duffy boat, powered by twin 450 HP Cummins engines. With a capacity for up to 37 people, this party boat puts extra emphasis on the word 'party.' An onboard toilet, air conditioning, and complimentary bottled water make it especially easy to have a good time.

While aboard, you'll enjoy drift fishing over the wrecks and reefs for Triggerfish, Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack. Blacktip Sharks are also known to make many appearances here if you're looking for a firey battle!

In these parts, the crew's favorite sport is bottom fishing, which offers endless excitement and tasty rewards. When fishing in spring or fall, you might troll for fast and ferocious predators like King Mackerel and Barracuda on your way offshore and back.

Angler's Dream Fishing welcomes passengers of all ages, whether you're young in years or simply young at heart. The boat is Coast Guard certified and equipped with all necessary safety gear, from a first aid kit to life rafts. The crew also provides all the fishing gear you need for a productive day!

Bring along any other refreshments and snacks you'd like, call up your friends and family and tell 'em you're going fishing!

Phenomenal Fishing Experience!
Half Day Trip (AM) – Shared on May 28, 20262 adults

Crew was right on time for departure and very knowledgeable! There were at least two other groups that were back for a second or third time, so the crew obviously does a great job! It seemed like most everyone caught something. A few caught 4-5. I caught one. When my friend who was with me wasn’t catching anything on her line, Captain Brandon let her real in a couple that he hooked on his line. Both he and Firstmate Andrew were friendly, extremely attentive to any issue, and quick to help take fish off the lines, etc. Captain Brandon did a great job to do his best to keep the boat in the best locations for catching fish. Overall, this was a wonderful first time experience deep sea fishing for us and was well worth the price! You definitely get more than you pay for! Thank you to the whole crew for everything!

I had a blast
3/4 Day Trip (AM) – Shared on July 10, 20262 adults

Great trip! The crew was perfect, Capt Joe, Brandon (I can't remember the names of the other 2 (I am old and my memory escapes me at times). I caught plenty of fish so much that its fresh fish on the grill Sunday afternoon for wife, son and his wife. I would do it again (and will) in a heartbeat, though my preference are the 10 hour trips, so I will keep my eye open for the next 10 hour. I will however, when the weather cools down (Octoberish), do a 5 hour with my wife. She will enjoy the 5 hour. WMJ.

Great day out on the water
Half Day Trip (AM) – Shared on July 7, 20261 adult1 child

Super easy to book and crew kept you informed where to be and time to arrive. Everyone was super helpful and personable during the fishing trip - tons of dolphins going out and coming back which was awesome and seems like everyone caught a bunch of fish out there. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a day out especially if you have kids as it was very family friendly. They cleaned and packed the fish for you if you wanted to keep what you caught. Overall excellent experience my son had a blast.

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper

Solid fishing trip for the price
Half Day Trip (AM) – Shared on June 9, 20262 adults

I had a really fun time on this charter. The fishing was solid. We caught probably 30 grunt, 10 grouper and a mackerel trolling on the way home (total of all people in the boat). I personally only caught one fish which was a grouper but honestly it made the day. I’m sure you see a lot of people complain about not catching a ton of fish but that’s fishing. I’ve gone plenty of times back home and haven’t caught anything. My father in law and I had a good time and met good people. The captain and crew are good honest people. The fishing was slow today and they still stayed out there past the time limit trying to get people on fish, a lot of charters don't do that. This charter is good for people who may not have a ton of experience and are looking for something to do while on vacation. It’s just as good for people who know how to fish. For the price they offer it’s really a good deal.

Reported catch:

Thank you. i can only park the boat over them. not sure what the problem is the last two weeks on the catching part however as you seen we dont give up that easy. you are correct. most boats would just give up and go home. thats not us. thank you for choosing us.

Amazing Crew
Half Day Trip (AM) – Shared on May 16, 20261 adult1 child

The crew was amazing and they tried different techniques from deep sea fishing to drifting very knowledgeable with their equipment to locate fish. They make sure that every Group leaves with something.. I went with my nine-year-old son. This was my second time on a charter and by far they exceeded expectations. From the start, they explained everything to everyone they walk around and assist you even make sure that my son left with a catch.. thank you so very much for your expertise and for making this trip amazing

Joe Genovese
Response from Captain

Thats great !! We like seeing kids enjoying fishing. From the look in his face you can tell he was happy catching fish. We try our best to make every trip enjoyable! I didnt have the chance to go out that day but I like that from your review they are doing a good job. They also love to fish themselves. Capt Brandon was only 3 months old when he took his first trip out on the Gulf. Before he turned 3 he was swinging the rod like a pro. Its funny at that age he could handle the rod better then talk! lol. thank you and your family for joining us and taking your time to write a very nice review !!

Angler's Dream Fishing runs trips seven days a week, thanks to the tireless work of its two captains, Brandon and Joe. Captain Joe always loved to fish. He got his first job as a deckhand at age 15 and became a captain just 4 years later. He loves the water and putting people on fish. Captain Brandon provides friendly guidance and makes an angler's first fishing experience easy and exciting!
