MM Charters invites you to come to experience some of that famous Florida fishing for yourself in Port Charlotte, Florida! Join Captain Tim Hermus for his specialty in Tarpon fishing while they’re in season from April to July. Of course, you’re welcome on board for inshore and nearshore fishing any time of the year!

Step aboard a 25’ Sea Born FX25, originally built in 2017 and powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. At a top cruising speed of 53 knots, you will be handling your first catch before anyone else has left the dock.

This vessel comes with safety equipment, GPS, Fishfinder, a trolling motor, and a fighting chair. Everything you need to find this area’s most sought-after fish and reel ‘em in! The boat accommodates up to 6 guests but only 4 lines can be out at the same time, so you’ll take turns.

If you missed Tarpon season, there’s Redfish, Amberjack, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, and plenty more biting inshore and nearshore year-round. Come see what fly fishing the flats is all about, or bottom fish for the biggest Snappers you can find!

MM Charters provides fishing licenses, live bait, lures, tackle, rods, and reels for every trip. Capt. Tim will even clean and fillet your catch for you, so you can take it straight from the harbor to the kitchen. It doesn’t get much better than good fishing followed by some good eating!
