We had a great time with La Costa Charters! Captain called the night before and explained all the details. Was at the doc ready to go when he said he would be. Put us on the fish a double with the first two rods in the water. Really catered to the children to not only ensure they caught some fish but that they were having a great time also! Cleaned our catch for the day and gave us directions to a place nearby to have vacuum sealed. Go with the 8 hour trip for the best experience these guys will out you on some great fish! If we come back to Clearwater we will book this boat again next time!

I took a 3/4 day trip with Patrick and 1st mate Brad. When I showed up at the marina everything was ready to go from the bait to the rods. Weather was overcast with chance of rain but the Captain didn’t let that prohibit the trip. Patrick and Brad both took the time to teach me fishing techniques needed for the fish I wanted to catch. I never had to lift a finger. The cleanliness of the boat was A+. Brad didn’t waste one minute on cleaning up any sort of mess. I caught exactly what I wanted and it was filleted for me too! I would definitely recommend.

Awesome day with Captain Patrick and First Mate Brad. They taught us a lot and brought lots of fun for all ages!  We weren’t able to go out far due to wind but they changed things up and we still caught a lot of fish including an unexpected big Spanish Mackerel.  Great recommendations to cook our fish during the rest of our stay as well. Highly recommended!  We will definitely be back!

Our experience with Captain Patrick and Brad was excellent! Captain Patrick recommended adjusting our trip due to the weather and fortunately we were able to make the trip out for our 6 hour excursion. We caught 7 different types of fish: Grunt, Porgy, Hogfish, Triggerfish and 3 types of grouper. Well worth the money will book again if back in the area!

Captain Patrick was on the phone with us from 6 AM working with us regarding the dicey weather. The weather finally broke and we boarded for our trip. We spent hours going to various fishing spots most times catching one after the other. When the trip was over, he cleaned our catch and recommended a local hangout where they cooked our catch and served up the beers. What more could you ask for? The crew was patient and professional, constantly baiting our hooks and taking our fish off. Great jobs guys!
