Book with Dan! He’s the best of the best!

3 Hour Beginner Fishing Trip2 adults1 child

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 for a fun and successful day on the water. He truly helped create a special memory for me and my son.

    WHAT A TREAT!!

    4 Hour Evening Fishing Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    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 next excursion!

    Go with Captain Dan!

    Full day fishing and island stops • 2 adults

    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!

    4 Hour Fishing Trip • 4 adults

    Captain Dan is an excellent guide!! Worked hard to find good spots for different kinds of fishing. Was super attentive to help my boys as they learned how to cast, hook and reel in the fish. Caught lots of fish and a great variety!! Loved the whole experience!!
