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!

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
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!

After the two hurricanes fishing has been the best I seen in a long time. Just about every spot out in the gulf has fish just waiting for a bait to eat. This is the time to get out and get in on the fast action going on. Message me and i will give you a up to date fishing report.

Light crowd today and calm seas. These days are hard to find with the fish just waiting for a bait to be lowered down. For the most part if you had your line out for more then a minute it was you lost your bait or not on the bottom all the way. Todays the day we call yanking and cranking. Drop the bait down yank fhe reel the fish up. That easy. Some people on the half day today had more then 25 fish a piece. Now thats fishing !! I dont see anything that woukd stop tge fish from hitting your bait for at least the next few weeks. Now is a good time to go if you have never gone before. We will teach you how to fish of you have never gone before. At the end of the trip you will look like a pro. When your friends see your stringers they will think you fish all the time. If you fish then you might want to take and hop on a half day trip right now. The fish are in shallow water with the water temps in the low 70s. Great time of year to fish. Red grouper season opens up January 1 !! We will start running our all day trips as soon as it opens. Right now it looks like friday is the day of the week we will do them but im thinking about moving the day and or adding another all day. Happy holidays to all. Hope to see you on deck !
