I can’t say enough about our adventure. Captain Dan had us catching sharks within minutes after leaving the dock. He was incredibly knowledgeable about where to find a large variety of fish, and maximized each moment of our experience. All of us, including my children (ages 6 and 12) had an amazing time. Dan was quick to bait and cast the lines, he took us to multiple locations,  and we enjoyed every moment of our trip. I would highly recommend Beachside charters for your... More

Captain Dan was an outstanding guide who made our fishing charter an unforgettable experience. As a local to the St. Petersburg, FL area, he knew exactly where to go to put us on the fish quickly. My 12-year-old son was really hoping to catch a shark—and thanks to Dan, we ended up catching FIVE in just a few hours, along with a variety of other species! Dan’s knowledge, patience, and overall vibe made the trip both exciting, educational, and memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking... More

Went out with Captain Dan on 4/19/26 for the full day fishing and island hopping trip. We spent the morning catching nice trout and redfish. Afterwards we went and beached the boat at a quiet spot and hung out Florida style. If you want to catch fish and experience all that Florida has to offer from a born and raised native, then book Captain Dan!

We spent 8 hours with Capt. Dan & we were sad for it to end. He’s super chill, fun, great with kids, extremely knowledgeable about the areas he takes you fishing and super accommodating with the boat time. We didn’t have to wait long at all to start catching fish. Broke up the fishing with some island time and it could not have been a better day! Highly recommend!! We will be seeing him again when we head back to Florida.

Even on a day when conditions were tough, Captain Dan put us on some big ass reds five stars!
